It was
gradually adopted by most of the Indian aristocracy,
and later by the general population, as a more evolved form of traditional
attire. To the Muslims, like the Urdu language, it also became a symbol of
Muslim nobility. Before the independence of India and Pakistan,
the Sherwani was closely associated with founders of Aligarh Movement. Following Sir
Syed Ahmed Khan, all the professors and students wore Sherwani. The name
"Aligarh Sherwani" was also coined, inspired by the popularity of the
design at Aligarh Muslim
University. At the Aligarh
Muslim University, these Sherwanis are still worn to keep alive a long running
tradition of academics.

hairstyle
A women's
hairstyle where the hair is pulled into a knot at the back or top of the head.
It can also consist of a bun at the side of the head or two buns on either side
of the head. See also chignon.
Feathered hair was popular in the 1970s and the early 1980s with both men and
women. The hair was grown long on both sides (normally covering the ears,
although it could be down to the shoulders), left unlayered (although some men
with curly hair did have it layered) with either a side or a centre parting.
shirt for boys
A shirt is a cloth garment for the upper body.
Originally an undergarment worn exclusively by men, it has
become, in American
English, a catch-all term for a broad variety of upper-body garments and
undergarments. In British
English, a shirt is more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with cuffs, and a full vertical
opening with buttons or snaps (North Americans would call that a "dress
shirt", a specific type of "collared shirt"). A shirt can also
be worn with a necktie under the shirt collar.
casual wear t-shirt for boys
The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used
in the 19th century, through cutting the one-piece "union suit"
underwear into separate top and bottom garments, with the top long enough to
tuck under the waistband of the bottoms. With and without buttons, they were
adopted by miners and stevedores during the late 19th century as a
convenient covering for hot environments.
mehendi
Henna is a paste
that is bought in a cone shaped tube and is made into designs for men and
women. It is also derived from the Sanskrit word mendhikā. The use of mehndi and turmeric is described in the earliest Hindu Vedic ritual books. It was originally used
for only women's palms and never for men, but as time progressed, it is more
natural for men to wear it. Haldi (staining oneself with turmeric paste) as
well as mehndi are Vedic customs, intended to be a symbolic representation of
the outer and the inner sun. Vedic customs are centered around the idea of
"awakening the inner light." Traditional Indian designs are of
representations of the sun on the palm, which, in this context, is intended to
represent the hands and feet.

one piece
A dress (also
known as a frock or a gown) is a garment consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice (or a matching bodice giving the
effect of a one-piece garment). In Western
culture, dresses are usually considered to be items of women's and girls' apparel. Dresses
increased dramatically to the hoopskirt and crinoline-supported
styles of the 1860s; then fullness was draped and drawn to the back. Dresses
had a "day" bodice with a high neckline and long sleeves, and an
"evening" bodice with a low neckline and very short sleeves.
bellys
The Romans saw clothing and footwear as signs of power and status in society, and most Romans wore footwear, while slaves and peasants remained barefoot. The Middle Ages saw the rise of high-heeled shoes, also associated with power, and the desire to look larger than life, and artwork from that period often depicts bare feet as a symbol of poverty. Bare feet are also seen as a sign of humility and respect, and adherents of many religions worship or mourn while barefoot, or remove their shoes as a sign of respect towards someone of higher standing.

handbags for college girls
The term "purse" originally
referred to a small bag for holding coins. In British English, it is still used
to refer to a small coin bag. A "handbag" is a larger needed
accessory, that holds items beyond currency, such as a woman's personal items
and emergency items to survive on. American English typically uses the terms
"purse" and "handbag" interchangeably. The term
"handbag" began appearing in the early 1900s. Initially, it was most
often used to refer to men's hand-luggage. Women's accessory bags grew larger
and more complex during that period, and the term was attached to the women's
accessory.
watches for women
Rolex
produced specific models suitable for the extremes of deep-sea diving, mountain
climbing and aviation. Early sports models included the Rolex
Submariner and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea Dweller. The
latter watch has a , co-invented with
Swiss watchmaker Doxa, to release helium gas build-up during
decompression. The Explorer and Explorer II were developed specifically for
explorers who would navigate rough terrain, such as the world famous Mount
Everest expeditions. Another iconic model is the Rolex GMT Master, which
was originally developed in 1954 at the request of Pan Am Airways to
provide its crews with a dual time watch that could be used to display GMT (Greenwich
Mean Time), which is the international time standard for aviation and was
needed for Astronavigation during longer flights.
watches for men
A watch is a small timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a
person, so as to make the time immediately and conveniently available. It is
designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities.
A wristwatch is designed to be worn on a wrist, attached by a strap or other type of bracelet. A pocket watch is to
be carried in a pocket. Watches evolved in the 17th century from
spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 15th century. The
first watches were strictly mechanical, driven by clockwork. As
technology progressed, mechanical devices, used to control the speed of the
watch, were largely superseded by vibrating quartz crystals, producing
accurately timed electronic pulses.
evening gown
An evening gown or gown is a long flowing women's dress usually worn to a formal affair. It
ranges from tea and ballerina to full-length. Evening gowns are usually made of
luxurious fabrics such as chiffon, velvet, satin, organza, etc. Silk is a popular fibre for many evening
gowns. Although the terms are used interchangeably, ball gowns and evening gowns differ in that a
ball gown will always have a full skirt and a fitted bodice; in contrast, an
evening gown can be any silhouette—sheath, mermaid, A-line or trumpet shaped—and may have an empire or
dropped waist.
miniskirt
The women kept on dancing while their long
skirts crept up, and their girdles dissolved, and their nipples burst
through like hyacinth tips and their clothes withered away to the mere wisps
and ghosts of draperies to adorn and glorify. In the mid-1980s the
"puffball" skirt, inspired by Vivienne Westwood's 'mini-crini'
designs, enjoyed short term popularity.Many women began to incorporate the
miniskirt into their business attire, a trend which grew during the remainder
of the century. Films and television series made in the mid-1990s show how
common the mini had become again. In the BBC TV series Keeping Up Appearances (1990-5)
the snobbish Hyacinth Bucket was frequently outraged by the brevity
of her sister Rose's skirts.
jeans shorts for girls
In English
the term "short trousers" has been used, but only for shorts that are
a short version of real trousers (pants).The American term "short
pants" is probably the nearest equivalent in the USA. In the U.S., these might nowadays
be called "dress shorts", a term which has not gained much currency
in Britain. A somewhat similar garment worn by men in Australia is called "stubbies".
"Shorts" is used unqualified in British English to refer to sports
shorts, athletic shorts, or casual shorts, the last nowadays being, in the UK
itself, commonplace in warm weather.
collar blouses
A blouse is a loose-fitting upper garment that was
formerly worn by workmen, peasants, artists, women and children. It is typically gathered at the waist
(by a waistband or belt) so that it hangs loosely ("blouses")
over the wearer's body. Today, the word most commonly refers to a girl's
or woman's dress shirt but can also refer to a man's shirt if
it is a loose-fitting style. Traditionally, the term has been used to refer to
a shirt which blouses out or has an unmistakably feminine appearance.

the neck to the waistline, especially that of
women. Tops are sometimes as short as mid-torso, and as long as mid-thigh. Men's tops
are generally paired with pants,
and women's with pants or skirts. Common types of tops
are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.
