Who wants to wear skinny pants and thick denims in the sultry heat? Think out-of-the-box and team up your kurtis, kimono tops, tanks, and t-shirts with loose but comfortable dhoti pants and palazzos in cotton, to raise the heat on your fashion scale.
They are a rage today - palazzos, which are long, super wide-legged trousers, and dhoti pants, a modern interpretation of the old-fashioned dhoti. Both are stylish and are being picked by college-goers and party hoppers alike. Be it flea markets or designerwear, the bottomwears are seen everywhere today.
For the brand-conscious crowd that wishes to pick dhoti pants, Indian names like Tarun Tahiliani, Krishna Mehta and Masaba Gupta, and international fashion houses including Yves Identify, Ralph Lauren and DKNY have various designs on offer. The best part about the garment is that there are hardly any fitting hassles as they are meant to be loose and free-flowing.
‘As far as the fit is concerned, only the size (of the waist) has to be right for you and it will fit fine. These garments are primarily loose to let air flow easily and let your skin breathe; ,’ says a designer.
Tahiliani, who is known nationally and internationally, has focussed extensively on variations of the dhoti at several fashion weeks over the years.
