India is a country of glamour, elegance and inimitable lady charm. These virtues are manifested in the show of bright outfits that reveal the most feminine side of the Indian woman. Traditional women’s wear in India is a mix of different styles and tastes to suit different communities, religions, cultures, castes and creeds.
Traditional clothing of women in India
Following are some prominent types of clothing worn by Indian women belonging to different communities:
- Sari: The very quintessence of Indian tradition, the saree is the most popular garment, devoid of culture, caste, region and religion. The different forms of this beautiful garment include Kanjivaram, Chanderi, Gadwal, Tangail, Banarsi silk, Kosa silk, Patola, Pochampally and many more. Available in many fabrics ranging from silk, crepe and tussar to plain cotton, this is a go-to outfit for any occasion. With the changing times, the saree has acquired a whole new character (attractive blouse cut, finished pleats and designer narrow pallu).
- Lehanga Choli: A favorite of young women, the lehanga choli originated as a fine women’s wear in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Today it is very popular in every region and must have in the wardrobe. Available in a variety of cuts and shapes, including fishtail, A-line, umbrella and straight. It goes well with any traditional occasion and accentuates the rounded ethnic beauty of the girl. Designer lehanga choli with deep hues and heavy embellishments is a perfect bridal wear. Paired with a dazzling dupatta, the lehanga-choli is the most luxurious and gorgeous outfit.
- Churidar: Women love to wear churidaar as it allows them to wear beauty with considerable sophistication and simplicity. Even married women choose this outfit to avoid any mess. The combination of a beautiful Anarkali top with a matching or contrasting churidaar and an exquisite dupatta is simply gorgeous. It is comfortable to wear as compared to the saree and hence it is preferred clothes for all occasions.
- Salwaar-kameez: Known as the most comfortable wear, salwaar kameez is widely popular in India. It is mainly considered a regional costume of Punjab, but nowadays it is nationally adopted. A loose long salwaar paired with an elegant kameez is just right for any casual or formal event. While the salwaar is a relatively light piece of dress, the kameez can vary from heavy to light depending on its function. The dupatta is usually 2.5 meters long and is the same color as the salwaar in many cases. Sometimes the embroidered dupatta is heavier than the kameez and accentuates the overall look.
Apart from the above mentioned fashions, lancha, sharara, garara, kurti and long Anarkali are some other most desired traditional women wear in India. Even modern outfits have their roots in tradition. The styles have no doubt undergone a great change, but Indian garments still give the value of royalty to those who wear them.
