How did the suit trend start in India?
The history of suits in India has been influenced by many factors including the Indus Valley Civilization, the British Raj and the country's independence. Men have been wearing different types of clothes since the Indus Valley Civilization. However, the British Raj in India in the 19th century had a different impact on the attire of Indian men. There was a section in the country that first came in contact with western dresses. This was the time when people also started carrying Indo-Western clothes.
With the British rule, the trend of western dresses increased a lot in the country. Although, before this people did not know much about suits, but India saw many big changes in fashion during the British rule. In the 19th century, not only did the trend of western culture increase in the country, but Indo-western dresses also came into trend. Before this, people were only aware of dhoti-kurta, kurta-pyjama and salwar kameez.
In such a situation, when people were introduced to suits, ties and pants during the British rule, this dress gradually came into fashion and people also started associating it with status. Then the elite class of the society started adopting new styles like suits, waist coats and jackets. However, with time, all these things gradually became common in India. It should be noted that even after independence in the year 1947, there were changes in the attire and style statement of men.
While Nehru jacket was in trend in the 1960s and 1970s, the trend of international fashion and style increased a lot in India in the 1980s. In the 1990s and 2000s, the country saw new designers who launched different styles of dresses in the country. In this way, linen, silk and cotton dresses for men also started being made in the country, which people also liked a lot.
