Ethnic Wear, the Beauty of Indian Culture
India is a country that abounds in its heritage and culture, a culture that sets itself aside from every other country on this planet; this multi-hued nation is a mélange of different flavors owing to the hundreds of glorious communities on this religious motherland.
With such a huge cultural diversity comes the diverse ways of donning your characteristic garbs and unique manifestations of your culture. Indians are known for the vibrant dresses and clothes they wear, and the glitter that sets them aside from the rest of the world.
One can easily tell a person’s regional belonging, mother tongue, and cultural background by looking at the way they carry themselves. For women, all over India they are known to be wearing saris as a regular every day wear. However, you can figure out whether a woman comes from a Maharashtrian, Gujarati, or Bengali background by the way she wraps her sari around her shoulder. Even if these may appear to be the same outwardly, the styles are notably different from each other.
Men, on the other hand, are also known to be wearing clothes of vibrant colors and styles. You could tell from their manner of dressing whether they hail from Northern or Southern region India. Men from North are mainly seen to be wearing trousers, whereas South Indian men traditionally don ‘lungis’.
Though fashion has changed a due to globalization, dissimilarities in people’s dressing sense are getting blurred. Nevertheless, there are several other aspects that still clearly state the difference and versatility of Indian men and women — for example, the ethnic shoes for men still clearly show the difference in men’s culture in terms of its design and built.
Currently, the fashion industry endeavors to come up with designs that subtly blend the Indian and western attires to keep the ethnic cultural aspect of India alive while retaining individuality in fashion. Well, regardless of what one wears, we all are all essentially Indian at the end of the day, and that’s what really matters!
