Singers and actors are always told what to wear and want to say in front of a camera. Young trainees, surgeons, officers follow orders given to them by their seniors. Students and teachers are told what to do by the Principal and the School board members. Children obey their parents till they become independent adults. Young adults or children are like actors and singers who are always told what to wear and do in public. India is a young independent country that is still learning to stand on its feet.

Every Country a part from India, were once governed by ruthless Kings and Queens who wore the latest in fashion and made their subjects dress up in rags. Like every country, clothes have gone through a struggle of their own and have seen the darkest side of the world. Dresses, gowns, short tops, trousers, pants and T-shirts were clothes that were left behind by the British. Indian attire like the simple sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas, ghara choli and dhoti's have stayed behind and have always been in competition with the west. 

Clothes like electronics have been recreated and tampered with to give the fashion line a new look and appearance. It's been years since people have seen good designer clothes a part from the ordinary everyday wear. It took designers years to come up with something smooth and elegant like the lehengas and anarkali dresses. Every city or country has come up with their own traditional line of clothes and have made it their mark. China and Japan are two countries that have similar traditional attires. India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Kashmir has the same line of clothing. 

Every cloth worn against the body has to feel smooth and soft instead of being clingy and sticky which makes it very uncomfortable during the summers and monsoons. Every designer when making his designs or art, leaves behind a certain trait or character in the cloth or dress. Women are the lucky ones out of the 2 sexes or genders. They have a lot to choose from when it comes to buying or wearing an outfit for a function or wedding. Every dress when designed has to have a shape and has to look good when presented on a ramp. Sarees on the other hand, make every Indian body look thin and good. The shape of the saree is such that the body will never look out of shape. The south Indian women and a lot of the north Indian women as well wear Kanchipuram silk sarees only for special occasions like weddings or special prayer meetings or functions. 

The Arabic women on the other hand cover their bodies with something called a Burkha and underneath the Burkha, most young women wear something called a maxi dress. These dresses are worn in the summers and are evergreen in design. These dresses are perfect for every woman no matter what their sizes are. Women give off a stunning appeal when seen wearing the peplum and maxi dresses. These are only dresses that give off a sexy stunning look. 
 
A simple dhoti on the other hand, makes man look ideal and stunning. The simple single piece cloth comes in various shades of colors like maroon, blue, peach, beige and purple. Sarees along with every other clothing sold in various stores come in striking colors like peacock colors, sky blue, parrot green, yellow and pink. Indian attire or the Indian fashion line are crafted with simple elegant prints and patterns that can be worn with minimal accessories. The Sarees are accessible at affordable prices.
