Tradition, Style and Elegance
Indian fashion has a bit of all the above ingredients and more with different types of costumes that have come down through history to be still enjoyed and worn today. Sari is one of the oldest costume in Indian fashion, it is formed out of one piece of cloth measuring approximately five and half meters long and can be made from a variety of materials from pure silk to pure cotton.
These five and half meters of continuous cloth is skillfully wrapped around to form one of the most sensual and romantic costumes there ever was.

Saris are worn by girls in their teens and women of all age groups even today.
The other Indian fashion piece that has been adopted around the world especially over the last few decades is the Punjabi suit, which is basically made out of a loose fitted pant with a very long dress like blouse over it that bears slits from both sides to allow easy walking. Girls and women alike find these clothes, also known as shalwar qameez very comfortable.
