Ethnic Wear For Indian Men

May 30, 2008



India is a diverse land with a wide variety of languages, culture, dress, food, etc. Yet, in its diversity lies its diversity. Made up of many states that proudly proclaim their own culture, traditional Indian ethnic wear differs from region to region. However, it is comfortable and modern designers have begun to adapt ethnic wear for Indian men, making them more suitable for today.

Consequently, ethnic wear for Indian man is making waves both at home and internationally, as well. Crystal embellishments and exquisite embroideries on traditional Indian clothes for men impart a look of dashing royalty. The urban man is more fashion conscious and knows how to add to his personality from a fabulous range of traditional clothing e.g. sherwanis, jodhpuri, kurta pajamas, achkans etc. While, the semi-rural or rural Indian man is still fond of his dhoti or lungi, very comfortable and most suitable attire for India’s hot climate.

Ethnic wear for Indian men is now a staple item on almost every fashion show ramp. Comfortable and in vogue, the Indian male has begun to revert more and more to wearing ethnic clothes for important occasions in his life. No Indian wedding is without a sherwani, achkan, kurta pyjama, jodhpuris or dhotis. The same is true for festive occasions like the widely celebrated Durga Puja in Bengal or Diwali elsewhere, when pyjama kurtas or dhotis rule. And, for city guys who want to look cool but remain comfortable, it is jeans with a kurta instead of shirt on top.

Sherwanis may vie with beautifully embroidered Jodhpuris at weddings and special occasions, however, it is the Nehru collars and band galas shirts or kurtas that are hot and happening everyday wear.

Slowly, the popularity of suits, pants and shirts is dying out, as more and more Indian men take to traditional wear. And, it none other than the new breed of Indian designers that we have to thank for admitting ethnic wear for Indian men into the world of fashion. Watch as handsome, young male models strut their stuff in aristocratic sherwanis, classy jodhpuris, churidar or pyjama kurtas, stylishly tied lungis and dhotis. No longer is the Indian male ashamed of his traditional attire. He realises that it is the most comfortable wear for a hot country like India. He also knows that it can look as good, if not better as a suit and tie.
