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!

  5. Du möchtest die Außenbeleuchtung auf LED umstellen und bist unsicher, ob der vorhandene Bewegungsmelder mitspielt?
    Oder du möchtest beispielsweise die Flurbeleuchtung automatisch
    schalten und fragst dich, welcher Bewegungsmelder dafür
    geeignet ist? In diesem Ratgeber erfährst du, worauf du beim Zusammenspiel
    zwischen Bewegungsmelder und LED Beleuchtung achten musst.
    Ein Bewegungsmelder besteht grundsätzlich aus einem Motion Sensor für die Bewegungserkennung und einem
    elektrischen Schalter. Welche Bewegungsmelder sind für LEDs geeignet?
    Die daran angeschlossene Lampe leuchtet. Wird
    von dem Sensor eine Bewegung erkannt, wird der Schalter aktiviert und
    damit die Ausgangsspannung eingeschaltet.

    Grundsätzlich spielt es keine Rolle, ob der Bewegungsmelder etwa eine Halogen oder LED Lampe schaltet.
    Es gibt jedoch einen wichtigen Unterschied unfertig eines Bewegungsmelders.
    Bei Bewegungsmeldern mit einem elektromechanischen Relais kann
    jede Art von Verbraucher angeschlossen werden. Wird bei einer Bewegungserkennung das Relais aktiviert,
    werden darin zwei Kontakte mechanisch verbunden, ähnlich wie bei einem
    normalen Lichtschalter. Bewegungsmelder mit einem Relais als Schaltausgang erkennst du an einem leisen Klicken beim Schaltvorgang.

  8. „Teure Uhren” werden jene Uhren bezeichnet, welche über dem durchschnittlichen Preis von Armbanduhren Herren liegen. Meist werden auch die Armbänder mit diversen hochwertigen Materialien, wie z.B synthetische Edelsteine geschmückt.
    Derartige Uhren haben meist wertvolle Materialien im Gehäuse, auf der Anzeige oder im Uhrwerk eingearbeitet.
    Zudem sind in Einzelfällen auch zahlreiche Funktionen ein Ursprung für den Preis von Teure Uhren. Diese Zahl der Funktionen macht eine Uhr nämlich zu einer chronographischen Uhr.

    Dies erhebt den Wert natürlich um den entsprechenden Wert.
    Bekannte Markenuhren welche vergleichsweise ziemlich teuer sind, sind zusätzlich Omega, Rolex, Breitling, Tag Heuer und Steinhart.

    Zudem sind auch generell Schweizer Uhren ziemlich qualitativ, was deren Preis himmelwärts gerichtet treibt.
    Aber auch Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, Speedmaster, Carrera oder Aquaracer sind Marken hochwertiger, Teure Uhren. Nicht zuletzt sind Teure Uhren ein sehr sicherer Geldspeicher.

    So können Sie sich beispielsweise eine einzigartige
    Teure Uhr für zirka 20.000€ zulegen und können sich von etwas wissen, dass sie in 20 Jahren genau den selben, oder gar einen höheren Wert hat.

  9. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared
    to be on the internet 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 as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects ,
    people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
