Indian Fashion

Hey fellow adventurers! This is another blog post that I’ve been looking forward to writing! I’ve always been intrigued in Indian fashion but I’ve never looked into it.

Although India has had a popular style of fashion for a long time, Indians have only been interested in the fashion industry since the 1980’s. Popular items of clothing in the pre-1980’s were:

  • Kurta: a loose shirt falling somewhere around the knees, worn by women and men
  • Dhoti: a rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 15 ft. (4.5 meters) long, wrapped around the waist and the legs and knotted at the waist, worn by men
  • Gagra Coli: the combination of a midriff-baring blouse and waist or hip high long skirt, worn by women
  • Sari: a piece of fabric that is anywhere between 5-9 yards long (4.5-8 meters) wrapped around the waist and draped over the shoulder which symbolizes grace, worn by women

Now a day, there are a few regions that wear only traditional clothing but in most places, you’ll see a mix of traditional and new styles. There are so many different mixtures of styles depending on the occasion, the region and the person’s taste in clothing. Especially in places like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, you’ll see more western style clothing. A popular mixture of traditional and western style fashion is wearing a kurti (a shortened kurta) with jeans.

Some popular Indian Instagram accounts that cover fashion:

If you’re like me then you’ve been wondering how women wear saris. I found this YouTube video that explains how to put it on and a couple different ways to style it:

While researching Indian fashion, I came across a Hindi filmed called Fashion that sounds interesting. The audience gave it a score of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes (no critic score available). On Rotten Tomatoes, it’s described: “Set against the glittering backdrop of the glamorous but ruthless world of haute couture fashion, this film tells the story of a small town girl with big city ambitions. Meghna always knew she was meant to be famous, but she was about to find out the hard way that success came at a price. Fashion is the tale of what happens when the price of success becomes too much to pay.” Unfortunately, the trailer I found doesn’t have English subtitles but it’s still interesting to watch:

That’s it for the post on fashion! What’s your favorite aspect of Indian fashion? Please let me know in the comment section below! I’m loving kurtis but I eventually want to get a sari. Thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!

  1. Im Internet gibt es nichts, was es nicht gibt.
    Luxusuhren kann man also auch übern Onlinekauf erwerben, was somit das Herz jedes Uhrenliebhabers höher schlagen lässt.
    So bietet beispielsweise die Luxusmarken Panerai, IWC Schaffhausen und OMEGA die Möglichkeit, seine Traumuhr direkt über den vorhandene Onlineshop, zu den angegebenen Konditionen, online
    zu bestellen bzw. verfügbar. Wenn dies der Fall ist, kann man auf
    den jeweiligen Webseiten der verschiedenen Marken den nächstgelegenen stationären Händler oder Juwelier suchen, beim man sich zur Uhr sowie dem Preis um
    Rat fragen kann oder seine Wunschuhr bestellen,
    begutachten und abholen kann. Natürlich gibt es auch Personen, die dem
    Kauf online lieber eine fachmännische Beratung bevorzugen. Das feine Schmuckstück Tutima Tempostopp der Uhrenmarke Tutima
    Glashütte/SA mit Manufakturkaliber wurde
    als limitierte Auflage von nur 90 Stück, nach Vorgaben in der
    Manufaktur Glashütte/SA, gefertigt. Als aktuelle Neuheit in ihrem Sortiment präsentiert die
    Luxusuhremarke die Grand Flieger Airport Automatic 6106-01, welche als direkter Nachfolger des Tutima Fliegerchrongraphen aus den 40er Jahren gilt.

  2. You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I find this matter to be
    really one thing that I believe I would never understand.
    It kind of feels too complicated and very broad for me.
    I am having a look ahead on your next publish, I’ll attempt to get the cling of
    it!

  3. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two
    images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  4. Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it
    was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
    Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers?

    I’d really appreciate it.

  5. May I just say what a relief to discover somebody who really knows what they’re discussing on the web.

    You actually understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

    More and more people must look at this and understand this side of
    the story. I was surprised that you are not more popular
    given that you definitely have the gift.

  6. Just want to say your article is as astounding.
    The clearness in your post is simply spectacular and i could assume
    you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow
    me to grab your RSS feed to keep updated with forthcoming post.
    Thanks a million and please continue the gratifying work.

  7. Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are
    you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking
    at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a
    good platform.

  8. Mit den Stöcken bringt Attrac noch eine App heraus,
    die einen genauen Überblick über die Laufgewohnheiten und die
    zurückgelegte Strecke gibt. Der Versandt der Stöcke
    erfolgt übern Hersteller. Optisch sehr hochwertig sind die Stöcke von Alpidex.
    Diese sind aus 100 % hochmodularem Carbon und Kork für den Handgriff.

    In dem Paket kommen, neben den Walking Stöcken noch einige
    verschiedene Aufsätze für die Bodenspitzen. Der Versandt
    wird durch den Hersteller direkt geregelt.

    Mit einem Gewicht von 138g sind die leichten Stöcke einfach zu händeln und auch für Anfänger geeignet.
    Die aus Aluminium bestehenden Wanderstöcke von Glymnis sind höhenverstellbar
    mit einer Maßvariablen von 36-130cm. Zu den Nordic Walking Stöcke liefert der
    Hersteller noch weitere Aufsätze für die Bodenspitzen und eine Packhülle.
    Die robusten Modelle sind bei den Kunden sehr beliebt und konnten daher den fünften Platz bei den Amazon Bestsellern ergattern.
    Die verschiedenen Tests und Vergleiche haben natürlich unterschiedliche Maßstäbe bei
    den Bewertungen, jedoch sind die maßgeblichen Werte für die Qualität der Nordic Walking Stöcke bei
    allen Tests und Vergleichen gleich.

  9. you are in point of fact a good webmaster. The web site loading velocity is amazing.

    It sort of feels that you are doing any unique trick.

    In addition, The contents are masterwork.
    you have performed a magnificent activity on this subject!

  10. I used to be suggested this web site via my cousin. I’m now not
    certain whether or not this post is written by him as nobody else realize
    such specific about my problem. You’re wonderful!

    Thanks!

  11. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both equally
    educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the
    nail on the head. The issue is something that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I found this in my hunt
    for something concerning this.

  12. Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites?

    I have a blog based on the same ideas you discuss and would
    really like to have you share some stories/information.
    I know my readers would value your work. If
    you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

  13. Good post. I learn something new and challenging
    on blogs I stumbleupon everyday. It will always be useful to read articles
    from other authors and use something from their sites.

  14. Hi all, here every one is sharing these kinds of know-how, so it’s
    nice to read this website, and I used to go to see this blog all the time.

  15. Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long)
    so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any tips and hints for novice blog writers?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.

  16. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not
    100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Kudos

  17. When I initially commented I appear to have clicked the
    -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I
    get four emails with the exact same comment. There has
    to be a means you are able to remove me from that service?
    Appreciate it!

  18. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
    Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal
    but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about
    setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any
    points or suggestions? With thanks

  19. Howdy I am so happy I found your web site,
    I really found you by error, while I was browsing on Aol for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say thank you
    for a remarkable post and a all round exciting blog (I also love
    the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment
    but I have bookmarked it and also included your RSS feeds,
    so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more,
    Please do keep up the superb work.

  20. Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted
    to say that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
    After all I will be subscribing to your rss feed and
    I hope you write again very soon!

  21. Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be
    on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider
    worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit
    the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects ,
    people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks

  22. Hey! I could have sworn I’ve been to this
    site before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it
    and I’ll be book-marking and checking back often!

  23. Oh my goodness! Amazing article dude! Thanks,

    knows the solution can you kindly respond? Thanks!!
