What to Wear in India
If you are traveling to India, carry minimal clothing. We will
suggest you to carry light luggage. The reason is that both clothing
as well as laundry is quite cheap in India. “How to dress up in
India” is not a very big problem. Read on to know about the
clothes to wear in India.
Indian summers are too hot. So, if you are planning to come in the
period of March to June, carry light clothes. Men can wear loose
cotton shirts or T-shirts and baggy Pants. In the big cities and
Metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Banglore, Pune, etc you can wear shorts
also. However, women should dress conservatively. Short tops, short
skirts / shorts, etc should be avoided. You can wear cotton shirts or
T-shirts, with cotton trousers or ankle length skirts. Make sure that
the clothes are not too tight or body revealing. These clothes can be
easily purchased from the Indian markets at a reasonable price. If you
want to try Indian clothing, then, men can wear “kurta pyjama”
and women can try “salwar-kameez”.
Winters (October to February) in India are quite cold, especially
North India. So, pack some woolen clothes with you. Also, pack some
warm innerwear, especially if you are planning to roam around too
much. During Monsoon (July to September), there is a high level of
humidity in India. So don’t wear synthetic stuff. In this case
also, cotton clothing is the best.
Last but not the least, while visiting places of worship (temples,
gurudwara or mausoleum), you should be fully clothed. Also, don’t
forget to remove your footwear before entering any religious place.
