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. My brother suggested I might like this web site.
    He was totally right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much time I had spent for this
    information! Thanks!

  2. Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience
    so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  3. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my
    4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  4. No matter if some one searches for his essential thing,
    thus he/she desires to be available that in detail, so that thing is maintained over here.

  5. Can I just say what a comfort to find somebody that really understands what they
    are discussing online. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light
    and make it important. More and more people have to
    check this out and understand this side of the story.
    I was surprised you aren’t more popular because you surely
    possess the gift.

  6. This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to keep
    a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you
    presented it. Too cool!

  7. Hello colleagues, how is the whole thing, and what you wish for to say
    concerning this piece of writing, in my view its in fact remarkable in favor of me.

  10. Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty
    quick. 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

  11. Howdy! I know this is sort of off-topic however I
    needed to ask. Does managing a well-established website such as yours require
    a large amount of work? I’m brand new to writing a
    blog but I do write in my diary daily. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring
    blog owners. Thankyou!

  12. This design is incredible! You definitely
    know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your
    wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
    almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say,
    and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  13. I am extremely impressed along with your writing talents as neatly as with the layout in your weblog.
    Is this a paid subject or did you customize it your self?

    Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it is rare to look a nice weblog like this
    one nowadays..

  14. My spouse and I stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought I
    may as well check things out. I like what I see so i am just following
    you. Look forward to looking at your web page yet again.

  15. You’re so interesting! I don’t think I have read anything like that before.
    So good to discover another person with original thoughts on this subject matter.
    Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up.
    This web site is something that is needed on the internet, someone
    with a bit of originality!

  16. Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites?
    I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss and would really like to
    have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would enjoy your work.
    If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.

  17. I blog quite often and I seriously thank you for your content.
    This article has truly peaked my interest. I’m going to book mark your blog and
    keep checking for new details about once per week.
    I opted in for your Feed too.

  18. Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites
    I stumbleupon on a daily basis. It will always be useful to read
    through articles from other writers and practice something from other web sites.

  19. Superb site you have here but I was wanting to know if you
    knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed in this article?

    I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get feedback from other
    experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let
    me know. Thanks a lot!

  20. I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any
    interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth
    enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  21. Hey would you mind letting me know which hosting
    company you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and
    I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

  22. Heya fantastic website! Does running a blog such as this require a large amount of work?
    I’ve virtually no expertise in computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog soon.
    Anyway, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off topic however I simply
    wanted to ask. Kudos!

  23. I like the helpful information you provide in your articles.
    I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here frequently.
    I’m quite certain I will learn many new stuff right here!
    Best of luck for the next!

  24. First of all I would like to say terrific blog!
    I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before
    writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.

    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!

  25. I’m really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your
    weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
    Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a great
    blog like this one nowadays.

    پارافیلیا شرایطی است که در آن
    برانگیختگی و رضایت جنسی فرد به خیال پردازی درباره رفتارهای جنسی غیرعادی
    و افراطی بستگی دارد. پارافیلیا گاهی باعث تهدید و آسیب به فرد مبتلا یا قربانی میشود.
    این اختلال میتواند حول یک شی خاص (
    کفش، لباس زیر) یا یک رفتار خاص (تحمیل درد به دیگری، در معرض
    خطر قرار دادن خود) بچرخد. مشاوره جنسی به
    افرادی که از نظر روابط جنسی خود دچار مشکل هستند، کمک می کند.

  27. Hello there, You’ve done an incredible job. I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends.
    I’m confident they’ll be benefited from this site.
