India
Clothing

Clothing varies greatly by region. Members of the various religious or ethnic groups also may dress differently, but most Indians wear light, loose clothing because of the hot climate.

Most women wear a sari - a straight piece of cloth about 5 yards (6m) long that is draped around the body as a long dress. Its loose end is flung over a shoulder or used to cover the head. A sari is usually worn with a blouse. Unmarried women and young girls, especially in northern India, commonly wear long flowing trousers called a shalwar and a long blouse known as a kameez. Tribal women wear long skirts. Many Christian women in the south wear Western-style skirts and blouses.


Many men wear a dhoti. This simple garment, which is usually white, is wrapped between the legs to form loose trousers. It can also be wrapped around the lower half of the body like a skirt and is then knotted at the waist. A shirt is worn over the upper half of the body. On formal occasions, some men wear a long, tight coat over loose trousers called a pajama that are wide at the top and sharply taper toward the bottom. In the cities, Western-style shirts and trousers, and increasingly, jeans, are popular.
