Indian Fashion

Sherwani



Today I want to tell you about traditional clothing from India. Western fashion (such as jeans and T-shirts) have become popular in India and many people wear western clothes more often than traditional clothes. But since Western clothing is popular here as well, I thought traditional clothing might be more interesting.

今日、インドの伝統的な服について話したいです。インドでは和服が人気になっていますが、日本でも和服が人気になっているので、インドの伝統的な服について話すのがいいと思いました。

Boys

One type of traditional clothing that is worn to weddings is the sherwani. A sherwani is a long coat that is worn over pants called churidars. At weddings men often wear a scarf over the sherwani.

男の人の伝統的な服の1つの種類はシェルワニということです。シェルワニは結婚式のために着るそうです。シェルワニは長いコートの形で、チュリダルスというズボンの上に着ます。結婚式では男の人がスカーフも着ます。

Girls

One type of traditional clothing that is worn to weddings by girls is the sari. A sari is a long piece of cloth with many patterns and colors that is wrapped around the waist and draped over the shoulders. It is worn over a short blouse called a choli, and a petticoat called a lehenga. I think the sari is similar to the kimono. The choli and lehengra are the kimono and the sari is the obi. It can be worn in many different ways.

女の人の伝統的な服の1つの種類はサリです。サリはフォーマルな服です。サリは長くて、いろいろなパターンと色が入っている布で、腰の周りに包んで、肩の上に置きます。チョーリというブラウスとレヘンガというペチコートの上に着ます。私はサリが着物と似ていると思います。チョーリとレヘンガは着物で、サリは帯です。サリがいろいろの形で着ることができます。
