Earlier they were available in white or cream color and had limited options. With time, this garment has witnessed many changing forms and patterns. Thanks to numerous fashion designers and stylists whose efforts have resulted in making the Dhoti one of the most fashionable outfits in today’s times. Dhotis in bright hues are a popular choice among men in many festive events. This attire can be paired with different outfits. One can drape a dhoti with a kurta. This is a common way of wearing a dhoti. Most men are seen flaunting this dhoti kurta look at wedding ceremonies and other festive occasions. Dhotis are also worn with tuxedos and blazers. This is a popular trend among Bollywood celebrities. Apart from religious and traditional events, Dhotis can be a perfect pick for your wedding day as well. The increasing popularity of the garment has made it an integral part of ramp walks and fashion shows.
