Ethnic wear is the new trend

person wears defines him or her in many respects. The choice of clothing
depends on the choice of fabric, the choice of Colors, and many other factors.

choice of clothing for any individual (specially women), the first question that
arises in anyone’s mind is whether the garment should be western or Indian.
Both the type of clothing has its own importance and worn in places where they deemed
to be appropriate.

where the nation is emanating practices from the west, it is seen that more and
more women start wearing western clothing.

festivals and family occasions, the auspiciousness of the same lies in the
woman of the household participating in the rituals while beautifully dressed
in ethnic wear.

mother or grandmother, is carrying her heritage and proudly flaunting the same.

recent times, many foreigners too have adopted Indian traditional clothing
because of the bright colours and beautiful patterns that catch the eye. But
what makes women’s ethnic wear in India and abroad so popular? What relevance
does it hold to society?
