Clothing for most Indians was simple and untailored. Men frequently wore little more than a broadcloth dhoti, worn as a loose loincloth, or, in parts of the south and east, the tighter wrap-around lungi. In both cases the body remains bare above the waist, except in cooler weather, when a shawl also would be worn, or in hot weather, when the head would be protected by a turban.
Higher-caste men would wear a shirt of Western style. Muslims and Sikhs, were inclined to wear tailored clothing, including various types of trousers and jackets.
Most Indian women wore saris and short blouses. Most Indians did not wear shoes but sometimes sandals.
