Indian Costume

One of the most famous dresses for females in India is the salwar kameez which is made up of loose trousers and is topped by a long loose shirt. Salwar Kameez is usually worn with a narrow scarf or a veil which is called a dupatta. Women are also fond of wearing colorful swirling skirts which they call lehenga and they pair it with a short bodice which is called choli.

For men in India, they commonly wear dhoti and kurta which are worn in the western and central regions. During special occasions, they wear a sherwani. There is also the salwar kameez which is often in plain white cotton and is topped with a dark waistcoat. They also have the lungi which is a wrap-around.
