Clothing in India varies
from region to region depending on the ethnicity, geography, climate and
cultural traditions of the people of that region.

Historically, men and women
clothing has evolved from simple Langotas, and loincloths to cover the body to elaborate costumes not only used in
daily wear but also on festive occasions as well as rituals and dance
performances. In urban areas, western clothing is common and uniformly worn by
people of all strata. India also has a great diversity in terms of weaves,
fibers, colours and material of clothing.
Colour codes are followed in clothing
based on the religion and ritual concerned. For instance, Hindu ladies wear white clothes to indicate mourning, while Parsis and Christians wear white to weddings.
