The first and only thing that comes in mind when anyone talk about Indian traditional wear is kurta-pajama. The kurta pajama is aplomb of Indian dressing culture. As I say India is the country of various cultures, almost in every culture of India’s people used to wear kurta pajama.

The second Indian traditional dress of men’s, is sherwani.  It’s same as kurta pajama but with some updates, you can say it version 2.0 of kurta-pajama.
The design and styling of sherwani is almost same as kurta pajama but it is little bit more decorative and patterened than kurta pajama. 
It is more expensive than kurta pajama and for wearing on special occasions and by special person of that occasion. 

Wedding Wear-

Sherwani is traditional wear of grooms for his wedding. There are different types of ceremony occurs in an Indian wedding and the sherwani is wear as a traditional wear in these ceremony like; engagement and jaimaal. 

DHOTI-KURTA

In India, the culture of west bengal and south India the people used to wear dhoti-kurta. Here kurta means a bespoken normal shirt, they often prefer a white colour shirt. 
Dhoti means a long rectangular shape of cloth which a man wraps around his waist, the people used to wear it from long time their forefather was fond of wearing ‘khadi’ dhoti and now the new and modern India’s people are following this tradition. A normal design of Dhoti is made up of a cotton cloth in white colours, and their border has golden colour lining. 

BESPOKE TROUSERS AND SHIRTS.

The made-to-order shirt and pant are like a routine wear of senior men of India. This dress is a tradition of wearing as a official dress in India. Whenever the senior people of India have to go anywhere for normal outing they prefer a bespoke pant-shirt. However the new generation of India is not on this tradition they love to wear the western culture’s outfit for normal outing like; jeans and t-shirts. 

Official work wear

Bespoke shirt and pant means those clothes which is tailored by a tailor as per customer’s Demand. A dark colour pant or trousers and a light colour shirt is popular for wearing as a official dress by India’s men. The people of India who work from 9to5 in office they do not much into a fashion they are just usedto of this dress. They just buy a cloth and ask their tailors to make that dress for them according to their fit and that’s it they used to wear it on their office. 

NEHRU JACKET, GAMCHHA AND LUNGI. 


After describing about the three best dresses that a India’s men used to wear as a tradition. Now at last I’m going to describe some items which are not a whole dress, but they are part of an outfit and used to wear in India as a traditional wear-

Nehru-jacket

The name describe that it is a Indian outfit item. It is basically a type of jacket or you can also say it a type of coat. In India they are worn in winter. especially when someone is wearing a Kurta-pajama or sherwani in winters then the first preference they use like a jacket on it, is a Nehru-jacket. 
Nehru jacket is a short collar type jacket. Which have a pocket on it’s chest and 6-8 buttons. They are available plain and as well as printed also. They come in full sleeves and no-sleeves. 
In India when it is mild cold or spring season then people prefer no-sleeves nehru jacket and when it is severe cold they moved to the full sleeve’s nehru jacket. 

Lungi

Prople of bihar and uttar pradesh almost used that item with their outfit. Especially the rural people often use this item, because that on item give them various benefits. 
It used to wrap around the neck, it saves them from cold in winters and absorb sweat in summers that is why people also go with a gamchha, in place of a handkerchief.
