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!

  11. Thermopapierrollen finden in einer Vielzahl von Kassen, Waagen, Automaten oder Bondruckern Verwendung.
    EC-Geräte nutzen ausschließlich Thermorollen 57 mm (57
    mm breite Rollen aus Thermopapier). Thermo Kassenrollen hingegen gibt es in einer Vielzahl verschiedener Breiten, die gängigsten sind hierbei Thermorollen 80 mm und 58 mm.
    Sie können bei GEBONGT24 Thermobonrollen ohne Bisphenol A (BPA frei) oder komplett phenolfrei
    (BP frei) günstig bestellen. Grundsätzlich unterscheidet man beiderlei Bonrollen: Kassen Thermorollen und Kassenrollen aus Normalpapier (Additionsrollen).

    Wann benötige ich Thermorollen? Thermorollen, auch „Thermopapierrollen” oder „Thermobonrollen” genannt, benötigen Sie immer
    dann, wenn Ihre Kasse, Ihr EC-Gerät bzw. Ihr Drucker mit einem Thermodruckverfahren arbeitet.
    Beim Druckvorgang wird das Kassenrollen Thermopapier partiell erhitzt exemplarisch das Druckbild auf das Papier
    der Thermorollen “eingebrannt”. Ein einfacher Test, festzustellen ob Sie Rollen aus Thermopapier kaufen müssen, ist der Fingernagel-Test.

    Nehmen Sie dazu einfach die aktuelle Thermo Kassenrolle aus Ihrer Kasse bzw.
    Ihrem Drucker und versuchen Sie hiermit Fingernagel darauf zu kratzen.

  21. Zeitumstellung Wie oft wird noch an der Uhr gedreht?
    Des nachts sind die Uhren um eine Stunde zurückgestellt worden.
    Eigentlich will die EU die Zeitumstellung abschaffen. Doch wenn das mal
    scheitern, weil die Staaten sich nicht auf Sommer- oder Normalzeit einigen können. Moment – da war doch mal was!
    Bei einer europaweiten Online-Umfrage vor zwei Jahren waren schließlich 80 Prozent der viereinhalb Millionen Teilnehmer dafür.

    Müsste dann war’s das der Zeitumstellung nicht seit
    Langem beschlossene Los sein? Spätestens ab Oktober 2021 sollen die Uhren nicht länger umgestellt werden,
    verlangt auch das Europäische Parlament – sogar mit einer satten Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit.
    Das ist inzwischen überaus anderthalb Jahre her. Der Verkehrsausschuss des
    EU-Parlaments hat für eine Abschaffung der Zeitumstellung
    ab dem Jahr 2021 gestimmt. Und was hat sich seitdem getan? Das liegt nun gar an den EU-Ländern. Die
    müssen nämlich zustimmen, haben sich aber bisher nicht auf eine gemeinsame Haltung geeinigt.
    Anders ausgedrückt: Sie versuchen es nicht einmal.

  22. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it 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 begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
    Cheers

  23. Undeniably imagine that which you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to keep in mind of.
    I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as folks think about concerns that they
    plainly do not know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , folks could take
    a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
    Thank you
