Indian fashion has always been very attractive, eye catching and unknowable.
In early days during the Harappa civilization, the cotton was full-grown in
India. Therefore Indian women used to cover with cottons clothing which were
shortly known as Sarees.
In India the modern fashions have customized after the 19th century, the methods of wearing a Sarees have gone through many changes in fashions world. In 20th century women were dressed in different styles and manner, the printed Sarees becomes a new trend for Indian ladies. To wear such types of Sarees by Indian ladies now a day’s become new approach, new style and new experience for them. I consider that Sarees might be the perfect ideal to choose for different occasions like festivals, Marriage events, ceremony and that’s why women are passionate on Sarees.
Over the periods the women uses Sarees and Salwar since the women’s clothing is the ethnic and decent wear, till now women never give up their tradition even though pants, skirts and western styles becomes as a part of their dressing after their independence.
There is several Traditional clothing in India. It mainly varies according to their culture, religion and climate, since they are interconnected. There are different types of Sarees available like Silk Cotton sarees, CatwalkSarees, Pure Cotton Sarees, Mysore Silk sarees etc.
Even today we can find several traditional Saree designers in South India. We might call them as great Artisans also because they do traditional hand work on Saree. An enormous amount of work, technical skill and pure material will be utilized on these sarees. That’s why Indian Bridal wear are more expensive when it is made of different types of hand work.
The fashion industry in India seems very good looking and they got good reputation all over the top countries. Earlier it was mysterious, today Indian Fashion designer are well glowing in the list of international fashion industry.
Sarees has got some special beauty, unique ritual and customs similar to every religion. Up to my knowledge only few different traditional Saree are famous even today, there are:
1) Kanchipuram silk Saree, Mysore Silk Saree and Konard Saree from South
2) Banarasi Saree from North

Energetic feel and prosperous colors of Mysore Saree could attract the large number of Bangalore women. Mysore silk are very popular, well-liked and accepted among south Indian silks. Mysore silks also set in the top list of the South Indian silks. The people from south India like to wear Cotton Salwar Kameez
Paithani Saree is popular in Maharashtra because of its beautiful designs and marked look.
In India you can find different culture, different religion and also different states, similarly Indian Clothing are based on these three categories. For an example Sarees more popular in south India, Salwar Kameez is well-known in Punjab and lehenga choli is usual dressing in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
In my point of thinking, i feel that most comfortable wear other than sarees for women is Salwar Kameez. Salwar Kameez has become popular today in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Salwar means pants and Kameez means long shirts. Salwar Kameez is feminine dress mainly being used by Muslims and Sikhs women. Gives new age look for women.
In India mainly Sikh women drape Salwar Kameez around the body along they usually cover dupatta. Dupatta can be worn in different styles such as drape around the head, over one/two shoulders.

There are several boutiques shopping stores that offer only few ranges of clothes like bridal sherwani collections and Bollywood Sherwani Collections which attracted the large number of people. Boutiques clothing are more expensive since they are made with rich materials only. People never worry about cost because they trust boutiques shopping.
Lehenga refers to long skirt, Choli refers to blouse. The Indian lehenga choli is very eye catching, amazing manifestation due to mirror work. The Indian lehenga choli like Zardosi lehenga is one of the traditional dressings, since used during mughal period.
