Dhoti Suit: Yay or Nay? Anju Modi @ India Couture Week
So the menswear in India is picking things up quick. The recently held India Couture Week featured some spicy menswear, and when i say spicy, i mean something mouth wateringly delicious. We are, sub continental, after all (thus the analogy). It's the first time I am stepping across the border and noticing stuff. And this is an idea I just had to talk about.
While the sherwani has been aptly been used with the dhoti, it came off as a bit of a pleasant surprise when i saw the dhoti paired up with the tux jacket; thus term Dhoti Suit. Now this is something to look at. Wear a dhoti with your suit jacket, and ditch the trousers. This is so unbelievably desi! Anju Modi being the designer to bring it to my attention.
Over the years, menswear from the sub continent has adopted so many "western" trends into the eastern wardrobe, but this just stumps them all. It's desi innovation at its best, no?
