Question

What is traditional Indian attire?

Answer

Lehengas and sarees are the most common options for women. A lehenga is a two-piece outfit that includes a top (usually cropped) with a full, high-waisted skirt. A saree is a long piece of fabric, often made of silk, that's used to wrap around the body. Other options include anarkalis or punjabi suits (a long top with pants) or gowns (a one piece floor-length dress). Men are encouraged to wear a kurta set, which is a tunic with loose-fitting pants, or a sherwani, which is a long coat-like top. For a bit of flair, consider adding a dupatta (a colorful scarf). Given the celebratory nature of Indian weddings, bright hues are encouraged. Please avoid wearing black.
