India being so diverse culturally and geographically, almost every region and state in Indian has their own attire.Some similarities and common factors can be found in these costumes for instance the Sari/Saree can be called the Traditional attire of Indian Women, but the sari is worn differently in different parts of the country.
The traditional attire for Indian Men could be said to be the Kurta-pajama which is a loose fitting long pull over shirt with drawstring pants called the pajama, aptly named because of its simplicity and cos it's very comfortable to wear.
There is one thing to be said about Indian attire as a whole- We're not afraid to wear color! Every region's ethnic wear is vibrant to say the least. Even in day to day life color plays an important part in an Indian's wardrobe. Attire like the Sari or the salwar-kameez allows you to experiment with any color, and it's not only restricted to the womens wear...men's wear including the kurta-pajama or sherwani and even lungi's in the south are worn in every color under the sun.
As every region has its own traditional attire lets take a look at some of this traditional wear region-wise:
