The Indian clothing is controlled by geographical environment. In north India, the climate changes according to the seasons, that’s why the clothing also keeps on changing according to summer, rainy and winter seasons. In the hard days of summer, cotton clothes with light colours, in the cold days of winter, woolen clothes with dark colours, and in rainy season, light clothes are worn.
On the other hand, in southern India, climate remains constant during most of the year. The surface of south India is a peneplain in which there is a network of small rivers, therefore, people in South India have to walk on wet and watery ground. That’s why, the people in south India like to wear Lungi, and chappals in the feet, instead of shoes.
