Dhoti pants have come of age ever since the trend stepped in. Today, one gets to see a range of vibrant colours, exotic prints and innovative fabrics in dhoti pant. It’s an Indian garment that lets you be your creative self. There is a lot of casual and colourful look to it which is easy carrying to work as much as it is doing errand jobs in the house.

Pant Patterns

Summers are at their blistering high. With dhoti pants, you can create a new wardrobe definition and fan following. Pastel colours are haute as much as solid colours such as blue, green, pink and red. Floral and paisley prints give a quirky and hippie look. As for availability, check out the lanes and bylanes of Janpath in Delhi, Dilli Haat in INA Market or the happening Sarojini Nagar market, as these are some of the best shopping places in Delhi, for some artsy and ethnic prints in dhoti pants. However, if you are a travel bug, go to tourist places such as Puducherry and Mahabalipuram where these pants are not only dirt cheap, most of the firang tourists are found wearing them due to their comfort quotient.

Fashion Comparison

What is so unique about the dhoti pant? The fabric of these low-rise pants has several pleats that create an interesting width at the top (that is around the thigh area). For simplicity purpose, they are essentially loose at the upper leg area and start tapering down to the ankle making it attention-grabbing. This could be one of the reasons why dhoti pant has become the hottie in college girls as much as on the glam runway.

How different are harem pants from dhoti pants? Harem pants are found loose throughout the leg that is the thigh area but not so at the hemline. Dhoti pants have more of gathered fabric than harem pants.

And why forget the jeans? The skin hugging fabric that has been there around for many years sometimes poses a bit of a problem for girls as they tend to get ‘restrictive’ not free flowing. It is the airy feel that girls look forward to and adopt more easily given the cruel Indian summers.
