As I've said a countless number of times before, I'll be starting college soon. Possibly sometime this month. I'm pretty excited for the next chapter of my life to begin but there's one thing that I dread terribly.
A dress code.
After four years of wearing a putrid green-colored tunic uniform paired with braids/ponytails, I expected to have lots of freedom now. But of course not. So I thought I'd break it down for you guys that are as clueless about this stuff as me.
The dress code for the college I'll be going to is "traditional Indian attire".
Salwar Khameez:
Salwar are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wider at the top and narrow at the ankle. The khameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams are usually left open below the waist-line, giving freedom of movement. These are paired with a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the neck on the shoulders.
Kurta:

The girls' dress code:
-Salwar Kameez
-Kurtas
-Kurtis
-Uniform[I'll be a given a special uniform to be worn during practical exams, exams and other special events. I don't know what it looks like yet, but I bet it's terrible.]

A kurta is a loose shirt falling either just above or somewhere below the knees of the wearer. These are usually paired with leggings. Kurtas are ideally knee-length or longer
Kurti:

Kurtis are typically much shorter than the traditional garments (like Salwar Khameez and kurta) and made with lighter materials. Kurtis are worn like blouses, usually over jeans. Kurtis are waist-length or hip-length. Kurtis are usually worn with tight-fitting churidar pyjamas. Churidars are tightly fitted trousers. These trousers are naturally stretchy and are also longer than the leg ans sometimes finish with a tightly fitting buttoned cuff at the ankle. The excess length falls into folds.

FIN
So the above is mostly how I like pairing the clothes. People wear knee- length kurtis with jeans but I absolutely detest it. I guess it's one of my pet peeves.
I'll probably be doing more of these Indian attire posts in the near future. Seeing as I won't be wearing a nice pair of jeans paired with a tee, dresses, etc. so often for the next four years. *Sigh* *ah, college* :/
