Inheritance is a belief that has travelled from ancestors to ancestors. The diffusion of traditions over the ages has been a long voyage. India is a country with the traditions of the brightest colours. India happens to be the birthplace of various religions and Indian culture is as distinct as a bright colour palette. From the highest peaks of Kashmir to the lowest coasts of Kanyakumari, the number of customs and beliefs differ with the coarse of land. The Science behind every temple, every dance form, every festival, every namaste, and every ethnic wear makes Indian heritage contrasting and peculiar.
There are so many things I love about the authenticity of traditional clothes. All the strands of thread get together and never fail to impress me by the beauty they portray once they set off together as a single piece of cloth.
Traditional clothes are like the masala chai, they have a strong savoury appear but yet are both sweet as well as spicy.
The following reasons are minor yet major reasons that make me love Indian traditional clothes more:
Every Indian outfit has been inherited for ages. No matter how old they get, they hold great significance in defining Indian culture as a whole. Some traditional clothes have lasted as long as Indian historic heritage can go and yet they are still the outfit worn by many in the country daily as well as on auspicious occasion.
I hope it's not just me, but traditional clothes just boost one's confidence, well mine. They are a reminder of how confident and beautiful our tradition has brought us up to be. It helps you project your idea and stand and impression. They're sooooo comfortable and can be worn as and when one wishes. (This may or may not apply to everyone. Clothes like kurtas are really comfortable. Some people are comfortable in sarees as well, shoutout to all the girls who dance in sarees. )
Even the simplest of Indian clothes express the richness of the country. No matter how expensive or inexpensive it looks and how lavished and decorated or unembellished and plain it is, they have the beauty of conveying the wealth of the country's heritage.
Traditional outfits are colourful. You can literally find Traditional clothes in any colour you desire and it makes them so unique from any other western outfit. The vibrant colours are a sensation of power that flows through one's skin when they wear the colour they desire.
They come with the most intricate designs. These designers either come with the cloth or can be done on them. Every bead, the embroidery, the decorative that make them traditional Indian clothes are the factors that highlight the beauty of the clothes.
The variety of traditional clothes vary from everyday wear to occasional wear. Every outfit can be shaped to your will and likes. And they can be customized the way we want to. This makes them so much convenient for people who really like to stick their own styles.
Every traditional outfit has a story to express. It's a medium to transmit one's idea of Indian style. Indian outfits are superior, classy, chic, elegant, and exclusive. They highlight and assist the peculiarity of every outfit. The minor details of every traditional wear make them discrete and beautiful.
Besides all, when we wear traditional clothes it makes our families happy especially our grandparents, so it's a really good reason to love traditional clothes.
