Description
Silk Pashmina stole
are meant for everyday wear. A good mix of silk and wool
fabric renders the shawl some unique softness. It takes
away that itching feeling that is so common with pure
wool shawls. Besides, the silk content in the shawl also
gives it more shine. These shawls are light on
body, yet quite warm. Women generally wear these shawls
as casual wrap dress and also as part of business
attire. However, women rarely use them as very formal
dress.
Silk Pashmina is however not a real
Pashmina. The name
is thus a little misleading. Real
Pashmina is a lot more
expensive and they are truly works of art. Silk
Pashmina
on the other hand is a mass produced product, and for
its price, it is very elegant and comfortable. That
explains why it is so popular in both US and European
markets. Silk
Pashmina could not never acquire similar
level of popularity in India.

Indian Clothes as defined in Wikipedia
Salwar kameez and dupatta
The salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for
females. It consists of loose trousers (the salwar)
topped by a long loose shirt (the kameez). It originates
from the state of Punjab in India, but now has become
popular all across India, and other South Asian
countries. It is commonly worn with a narrow scarf
called a dupatta, which can be used to cover the head,
or just draped over the shoulders. The salwar kameez is
most common in the northwestern part of India.
Lehenga, choli, and odhani
The women of Rajasthan and Gujarat often wear colorful
swirling skirts called lehenga, paired with a short
bodice called a choli. If they must cover their heads,
they do so with bright veils called odhani.
Men's clothing
The most common male attire consists of the dhoti and
kurta, worn in most of the western and central regions.
A sherwani is typically worn for special occasions. Men
of northern India and the Punjab may also wear salwar
kameez, often in plain white cotton, and top the kameez
with a dark waistcoat. The lungi (a type of wrap-around)
is worn in many parts of India, but depending on the
social practices of the region it may be restricted to
indoor-wear.
