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!

  20. Ein Bewegungsmelder (auch: “BWM”) ist ein elektronischer Sensor, der Bewegungen in seiner näheren Umgebung
    erkennt und dadurch als elektrischer Schalter arbeiten kann.
    Ein Bewegungsmelder kann aktiv mit: elektromagnetischen Wellen (HF, Mikrowellen oder Dopplerradar), mit Ultraschall (Ultraschall-Bewegungsmelder) oder,
    wie der PIR-Sensor, passiv anhand der Infrarotstrahlung
    der bewegten Person und der Umgebung arbeiten. Er reagiert auf kleine Änderungen der Temperatur, beispielsweise wenn eine Person am Sensor vorbeigeht.

    Bewegungsmelder mittels Mikrowellen reagieren optimal, wenn sich der Abstand zum Sensor ändert.
    Ultraschall-Sensorik wird aufgrund der verhältnismäßig aufwendigen Technik seltener eingesetzt.
    Nach Anwendungsgebiet werden verschiedene Sensortypen oder Kombinationen aus mehreren Sensoren eingesetzt.
    Der pyroelektrische Sensor (PIR-Sensor, Pyroelectric Infrared Sensor) ist der am häufigsten eingesetzte Typ von Bewegungsmeldern. Ein auf Infrarot basierender Bewegungsmelder auf Basis eines PIR-Sensors zur Bewegungserkennung hat gemeiniglich auch einen zusätzlich eingebauten Dämmerungsschalter, der dafür sorgt, dass die Beleuchtung nur bei Dunkelheit vom eigentlichen Bewegungsmelder
    eingeschaltet wird. Bewegt sich eine Wärmequelle vor dem Melder, so schaltet er die
    Beleuchtung für eine einstellbare Zeitspanne ein und nach Ablauf der
    eingestellten Leuchtzeit wieder aus.

  21. Excellent site you have here but I was wanting to
    know if you knew of any forums that cover
    the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really like to be a part of
    online community where I can get comments from other knowledgeable
    people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please
    let me know. Bless you!

  22. You could certainly see your enthusiasm within the article you write.
    The arena hopes for more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe.
    At all times go after your heart.
