Dress gracefully

It is amazing that the idea to fix a dress code for women has sprung up in a cultured country like India. Sixty years ago one had never thought that Western culture would influence our cultural heritage to this extent. Why is the young generation blindly going for Western outfits to follow the latest fashion trends?

There is no harm in being fashionable but why is a girl dressed up in a full-sleeved kurtasalwar and spread out dupatta be tagged as ‘behenjee’? Can a man attired in a three-piece suit and silken tie be a better chairman of a company?

But as change is the process of life, people have began to realize the grandeur of traditional Indian dresses. We can see people attired in pyjama, kurta and dhotis. 

The female mass find sarees and lehangas more graceful and more sophisticated. Indian beauty and complexion has unsurpassed charm which is enhanced in such costumes. Proud are we to behold that not only beauty but the grace and decency of Indian women reigns the world.

Girls may find jeans and T-shirts  trendy and smart but they are not unaware of the grace and style of other traditional costumes.Full attention and appreciation is what we all look for. Even a 3-4 year old child is eager to choose the best dress.

That is not surprising as the way we dress counts topmost to evaluate our personality. Our clothes depict our image. Clothes are just not means to cover our body; they are the mirror of our character. Thus, all of us should be selective in our choice of dresses. So, dress up gracefully, your dress is your expression. If you have grace you have style.

Hats off to you!
