CONTEMPORARY
MEN
Kurta
Churidar
This form of dress is fast witnessing a general acceptance among
the
contemporary men in kerala. Though a North Indian form of dress
it has wide acceptance and is frequently worn by a select class
of people. Churidars consist usually of fine muslins or cottons
and white in color. The traditional churidar is tied with a nara
at the waist. New variants come with an elastic, and do away
with the hassle of tying the knot (of the nara, i.e)! What is
special about them is that they are longer than the legs. Their
extremes are crinkled and crumpled to fit. Creases thus
developed resemble 'churis' or bangles, hence the name churidars.
A churidar is a perfect accompaniment to long kurtas and
sherwanis.

A Jodhpuri suit is a fine blend of Indian and western
tastes and comes with a coat and a trouser, at times accompanied

embroidery escorted by the very famous Nehru Collar. Though it

to be that popular even in cities.
