Ethnic clothing and its elegance
August 01, 2010 // Posted by: qwcdirect // Category: Clothing
To define, ethnic clothing means clothing preference concentrated to a given area. It is seeped in the lineage, history and cultural leanings of an area. For instance, an African is most likely to shine in his Agbadas and Dashikis with an occasional mix of vibrant indigenous prints and Kentes. Similarly, an Indian prevails on high doses of Salwar Kameez, Kurta Pyjama, Lungi and Saris. Ethnic clothing has its elegance as it creates an aura of a particular place around the person wearing it. In other words, the person becomes a place, its very identity.
Today, big brands have well utilized the marketing aspect of ethnic clothing and hence they come in great many shades and improvised styles that look like a hybrid between ethnic clothes and their modern- day avatars. A veil on a woman from Middle East cannot be improvised upon but a scarf or a dupatta surely can be.
