When it comes to Indian clothing, people will definitely immediately think of Indian sari. India's hot climate all year round makes people wear thin clothes and veils. Sari is India's most distinctive national dress, known as "the garment that wraps all the beauty of women".
A "sari" is a "clothing" made of silk as the main material, or perhaps more accurately a long piece of cloth - typically 5.5 meters long and 1.25 meters wide, with piping on the sides and embroidery on it.
Indian sari are composed of three parts, the top is a tight short-sleeved bodice called "Jempur", and the "Bettigre" petticoat on the lower body is a loose long skirt, and the sari is wrapped outside.
There are certain skills in wearing sari, which are cumbersome and time-consuming, so a simplified sari appeared later to meet the needs, which is the Punjabi.
Punjabi is also a kind of suit, which consists of a knee-length gown "Kamizi", pants "Julidar" that gradually tighten from the knee below, and a scarf "Dubarda" about three meters long. It is the common attire of women in Punjab, India.
The sari are usually worn over an ankle-length petticoat, forming a tube skirt from the waist to the heel, with the end hem draped over the left or right shoulder.
As the climate and seasons change, sari of different textures need to be worn. There are pure silk or pure cotton cloth, and there are also those with gold silk lace. In recent years, similar nylon or chemical fiber fabrics have appeared.
In summer, the color of sari is lighter, such as light yellow, light blue, light green, etc.; in winter, it is mostly dark red or light red, etc.; in the rainy season, it is mostly dark green.
Many Indian women often have dozens or even hundreds of sets of sari with no repeating colors and patterns for different occasions. Brides often choose bright colors such as bright red or bright yellow, which are embroidered with gold threads to show their wealth and splendor.
People attending social events such as dinner parties and celebrations often wear high-quality, hand-embroidered and special lace to express nobility and elegance.
When people are leisure, they usually wear soft and easy-to-care clothes to add a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. Professional women wear monochromatic or dark floral fabrics to show solemnity. Actors use bright colors to attract everyone's attention.
Apart from the gorgeousness of the sari, the hairstyle is also important. Because Indian women have high requirements for accessories and pay more attention to luxury, the sophistication of hairstyles determines the overall aesthetics. Compared with braided or braided hair, some people prefer curly hair to bring that kind of smart beauty.
If it is a delicate updo, you can incorporate some luxurious golden earrings, forehead ornaments, nose ornaments, there are many kinds, but on the whole it is mainly made of gold and silver. And generally when getting married, the man will be equipped with a lot of accessories to express his sincerity and love.
Sari are the most beautiful things of Indian women. Indians interpret their understanding and pursuit of life, aesthetics and colors with their unique creativity.
