Indian fashion industry marks diversity. The fashion sense that started developing hundreds of years ago, still survives, but now displays a fusion of its journey. Whether we talk about the tribal jewellery of Rajhastan, or the bangles and jhumkey of traditional India, it has all amalgamated into the new trends of fusion.
The jewellery has not just developed in terms of wearing styles and designs, but also in terms of metals and materials. Gold has been the most popular texture used for Indian fashion world, and not just plain gold, but its purest and most malleable form, “kundan”, has been talk of the town. Fashion in India doesn’t just adorn beauty, but it also signifies the aesthetic sense, status and affordability of Indian public.
Every body part discovered its own fashion. Such as if ears had “jhumkey”, the arms had "bazu band". If bangles or “churian” adorned wrists, "bindis" and "tikkas" adorned forehead. From `kamar band` signifying the waist to the "payal" or anklet signifying the ankle, fashion defined its own meaning in Indian history.
Although gold will always remain the symbol of traditional Indian jewellery, Indian fashion has incorporated a lot of different textures. Gold just not remains in yellow gold color, but now white, blue, green and other forms are coming as well. Bohemian Jewellery is the brown hardwood jewellery bringing more diversity to the textures. Next, diamond tends to be the most expensive and popular fashion trend. Its copies in other textures such as zircon are also available, but today it defines the status and fashion sense of every aspiring Indian woman.

Be it the famous hairstyle of yesteryear actress ‘Sadhna’ or the ‘Pooh’ look of Kareena Kapoor sported by young teenage girls. All these trends become the talk of the town immediately after its conception.
College goers tend to look up to Bollywood celebs when it comes to aping trends. With a change in the look carried by their favorite actor, people change their way of styling as well.
Fashion trends have become the hottest topic of discussion among teenage girls in particular and the Gen-X in general. To carry the perfect look according to the ongoing trends is what every youngster strives for. The ‘in thing’ is of great importance to all of us. Our wardrobe receives repeated ‘make overs’ with new clothes being dumped by us every now and then.
Even change in season changes the kind of clothes we wear. Summer brings with itself floral prints and comfy fabric to beat the sweltering heat. Girls and guys prefer to keep it short and sweet with the advent of this season.
Winter definitely changes the amount and type of clothes one wears. Layered clothing, cardigans and pull overs of varied colors and styles replace the stringy clothing.
With monsoon showing its true colors, one prefers to dress as simply with the least amount of bling and fashion. This quite pleasant but tacky season restricts people from wearing fashionable clothes, as those raincoats seem to occupying the important place.

Such people sometimes become the ‘joke’ among the hoity-toity cream crowd. Trends keep changing by the day, by the season but one must indulge into fashion in which one is comfy and confident. Such garments when carried by a person certainly portray an image of beauty, elegance and poise.
