Indo-western clothing-the fusion of western and south asian fashion.
By the first decade of the 21st century, Western styles were well established as part of Indian fashion, with some professional Indian women favouring Western-style dresses over saris for office wear.Fashionable Indian women might take the traditional
shalwar kameez and wear the
kameez (tunic) with
jeans, or the pants with a Western blouse.
Among the youth, there appears to be an enthusiastic approach to combining traditional clothes with a western touch. With increasing exposure of the
Indian subcontinent to the
Western world, the merging of women's clothing styles is inevitable. Many Indian and Pakistani women residing in the West still prefer to wear traditional
salwar kameez and
sarees; however, some women, particularly those of the younger generation, choose Indo-Western clothing.
The clothing of the quintessential Indo-Western ensemble is the trouser suit, which is a short
kurta with straight pants and a
dupatta. Newer designs often feature sleeveless tops, short dupattas, and pants with slits. New fusion fashions are emerging rapidly, as designers compete to produce designs in tune with current trends.
Additional examples of the fusion that Indo-Western clothing represents include wearing jeans with a choli, salwar or kurta, adding a dupatta to a Western-style outfit, and wearing a lehnga (long skirt) with a tank top or halter top.
A few who are well known enthusiasts of the hybrid fashion are Indian actress
Shilpa Shetty,
English actress Dame Judy Dench
and Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor.
