Experimenting with western dresses has become a trend and if we observe the youth culture in metropolitan cities, we see that their outfits are very much westernized. Western dresses like Jeans, tops, T-shirts, hot-pants, formal trousers and shirts have been their first choice. Unlike their parents and grandparents, these young men and women are not so interested in wearing traditional Indian ethnic wears regularly, but, they haven't rejected ethnic clothes completely. During the festivals and special occasions, we can see young women enjoying wearing sarees and salwar suits and men still love to wear kurta pyjama to attend many religious ceremonies.
