Question
Where can I shop for Indian clothes?
Answer
Here are a few online resources : • Lashkaraa - www.lashkaraa.com (Affordable & stylish options for Women) • cbazaar - www.cbazaar.com com (Affordable options for Men and Women) • Panash - www.panashindia.com (Affordable options for Men) • WeWearUs - wewearus.com (Rental Only) Most of these operate out of India. It will be beneficial if a group order is an option to share in the shipping cost and group deals if offered at the time of order. The most popular style for women for Wedding/Reception: 'Anarkali,' 'Saree,' or 'Lehenga Choli.' (Avoid colors like red and white for the ceremony as it will clash with the bride) The most popular style for men for Wedding is called ‘Kurta Pajama Set’. You can also get just a long Kurta (top) and pair it with khaki pants. Feel free to contact the bride or the groom for additional questions.
