India is a vast and diversified country and it is also a land where a multitude of cultures co-exist. Though all these cultures are woven together but they have their own exclusive dressing patterns and styles. The earliest traces of Indian fashion and dressing were found in the remains from the excavated site of Harappa and Mohenjodaro. After independence, due to various factors, changes in the Indian fashion have been witnessed largely due to globalization. The traditions and dressing style of the Indian women have caught the imagination of people far and wide and this is the reason why Indian fashion wear are selling like hot cakes in other parts of the world. In the recent years Indian dressing items have topped the UK shopping lists and the interesting fact is that not only are domestic consumers buying them, but many of the Westerners have also shown a keen interest in acquiring these beautiful and fashionable clothes.
UK has a large population of non-resident Indians and people from the sub-continent who have settled in these parts for business, jobs, education or various other purposes. Though they are away from their motherland, when it comes to auspicious occasions they still prefer Indian ethnic dresses over the Western ones. Many of the British origins who are in constant touch with the Indians have also fallen in love with the different types of dressing trends that are available in many parts of UK. The Indian ethnic wear such as the Indian bridal wedding dress is one of the most selling items. The wedding dresses basically include sarees with blouse or ghagra choli (lehenga). These are colorful with myriad small prints upon them. To go with these there are various types of jewellery, be it silver, gold or stone studded, worn by women of all ages.
Salwar kameez is another favorite dressing item from India. This is a type of casual wear and can be worn on all types of occasions. Whether it is for everyday wear or for some festival or grand occasion, a salwar kameez is for all occasions. But in the recent times there has been a change in the styles of wearing saris or salwar kameez. The styles have become more cosmopolitan than from any specific region. There are different styles of blouses available in the market such as katori style, halter neck, high neck blouses, back button blouses, puffed sleeve blouses, etc. The blouses used to be long and covering but in the modern times their sizes and designs have changed drastically. The same changes have been in the saris styles as well. Saris in the traditional style are draped in traditional pallo style or in the gujrati style. The Bollywood films also influence the trends in saris. Such as after the Mumtaz style saris or Chameli saris. In case of salwar kameez the prevalent styles are long, short, A-Line, skin tight, etc. The modern version of the salwar is known as ‘kurti' and this can be worn with jeans, pants or churidars.
