Last week the word Indian handlooms was everywhere, which got me thinking. Is it really possible for a few threads to come together and hold years of history, traditions, and emotions of people? The question sent me into a spiral of googling, reading articles, asking around, and even turning my closet upside down. While there were a few insights which I already knew, I also came across many new discoveries that were not only eye‑opening but also made me proud. So here is what I now understand about handlooms, the things which I had easily overlooked before, but now feel eager to share with you.
When looking for workwear options, comfort is not always the first thing that comes to mind, yet most of us are biased towards outfits that can give a polished look, without compromising on ease. For a while, Indian workwear offered very few choices that could balance both comfort and style. But recently, we are seeing more and more options that fit perfectly into both office and work‑from‑home setups. Which is also why more and more people are excited about giving it a try. If you too are excited about what is happening in the Indian workwear space, here are a few reasons which is pushing this trend forward.
If you’re someone who needs that one familiar piece of clothing the moment you walk through the door to finally transition into your happy, relaxed self, well you’re definitely not alone
A weird but cool thing I’m noticing about fashion right now is that there’s no fixed trend to follow. There’s no single style everyone is running after.There’s clearly no “right” way to dress anymore.
Every once in a while, we get caught between two feelings: the urge to clear out clothes and accessories that no longer fit or feel like us, and the guilt of holding on to them anyway. Here is why letting go feels so hard, but is also the right thing to do, and a few tips that can make it easier.
