The very first thing that comes to my mind when somebody talks about the costumes and dressing style of Gujarat is their culture and tradition. Actually, what I feel about the dressing style of Gujarati people is that it is very cultural and it reflects various changes that the state has undergone. The outfits they wear are really of very bright colors which brighten up the surroundings and the atmosphere. The fancy and esthetic jewelry worn by the women reminds me of traditional culture of India. Costumes of Gujarat mainly include Kediyu and Chorno for males and the women wears Choli and Chaniyo. The traditional dress of Gujarat is observed during the Navratri festival.
What attracts me the most about the costumes of Gujarat is their variant bright and glossy colors worn with fashionable jewelry. Chorno is a cotton dress which the men usually wear in the rural parts of the state. In order to cover the upper body part, they wear a short angrakhu or Kediyu. We have often seen men otherwise wearing a turban or a gear but in Gujarat, men wear a thickly folded phento tied on their head.
Women according to me, looks brighter than the men due to their bright and colorful choli and long flary skirt. It looks very attractive as the glass pieces are used to design the choli. I have also been to Gujarat once and worn their costumes and honestly speaking, it was an amazing experience. Women also wear a chunri that is draped around their body’s upper part which looks very beautiful because of the heavy work on it. You would be surprised to know that in spite of heavy work on the chunri, it is very light weight.
I went to Gujarat during the Navratri season of Gujarat. This festival is the most important festival celebrated with huge pomp and show by the Gujarati people. Males wear Keviya which is a small and colorful coat with tight sleeves and frilled pleats elegantly embroidered along with churidar pajama and a turban. But it is sad to know that the dresses are very costly so to avoid expenses, so I preferred to wear them for a few days on rent.
Women look very beautiful in Lehenga choli and Ghagra choli which they wear while dancing. Stunning bare-backed embroidered blouses are worn by them with Ghagras and lehangas below it. Odhni or duppatta is draped and worn by them on top. Although generally also they wear the same type of costumes but during festivals they wear heavy designed costumes.
