India
is a country with diversified customs and cultures. People following
various traditions live here, their way of dressing also differ from
each other. The traces of Indians being fashionable can be found out
from the ancient remains of Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilizations. After
the independence, globalization is being witnessed in the Indian
fashion industry, due to which changes have occurred in the style of
Indian dressing.
Styles
of wearing saris and salwar-kameez have changed. The look is more
cosmopolitan than region-specific. Different styles of blouses like
katori style, halter-neck, back button blouses, high neck blouses,
puffed sleeve blouses, etc. have become the hot favorite among women.
The average lengths of the blouses have decreased. Saris are draped
mostly in traditional back pallo style or gujarati style. Indian fashion
scene is greatly influenced by its films. For example Mumtaz style sari
draping inspired by yester-year heroine Mumtaz. Here sari is tightly
draped around the body.
As
far as salwar-kameez is concerned numerous styles and patterns can be
given to this garment. For instance the kameez can be long, short,
A-line, skin tight, etc. Such variations can be done to salwar as well
as dupattas. Modern version of kameez is known as kurti, it could be
coupled with jeans, pants or churidar. It has taken the form of
Indo-western outfit. People in western countries too have started
wearing kurtis.
