For over a century, the suit has been the default workwear in India, a remnant of colonial influence. Despite its origins in cooler climates, its continued use in India is increasingly questioned as the nation emerges as the world's fourth largest economy. The article argues for a return to traditional attire, such as cotton dhotis and kurtas, which are more suitable for the country's hot and humid conditions. It points out that while suits may be appropriate in Europe and North America, they are ill-suited for Indian summers. The piece advocates for a cultural shift towards embracing local garments, suggesting that this could lead to a revival of affordable cotton clothing and laundry services. By promoting awareness of the benefits of traditional attire, India can not only enhance comfort but also assert its cultural identity on the global stage.
