Evolution of Indian wear 🤨
The evolution of Indian clothing is a rich tapestry that reflects the country’s diverse history, culture,
and artistry. Here’s a brief overview:

Indus Valley Civilization to Vedic Period:

The journey begins with the Indus Valley Civilization (3300 BCE - 1300 BCE), where the earliest
records of traditional Indian clothing were found1.
During the Vedic Period, clothing was mostly unstitched and people wrapped themselves in garments
like dhotis and sarees.

Islamic Influence:
The arrival of the Islamic era introduced stitched clothing, with items like the burka and hijab
becoming prevalent.
British Colonial Influence:
The British Raj brought Western styles of skirts, trousers, and blouses, which were adopted by the
upper classes of Indian society.

Post-Independence Era:

After independence, while the economy struggled, Western dress remained popular among the
urban and educated, leading to a blend of Indo-Western fashion.

Modern Times:

The 1980s and 1990s saw a significant shift with the introduction of fashion schools in India and more
women entering the workforce. This period introduced disco styles, leather jackets, and denim, along
with traditional Indian attire like salwar kameez and sarees2.
Today, Indian fashion is a global phenomenon, known for its intricate designs and fusion of traditional
and modern styles, showcased by renowned designers on international platforms1. The industry
continues to evolve, embracing new trends while maintaining a connection to its rich heritage.
