LUNGI- A new style statement


Isn’t it time to find a cool alternative to jeans in your wardrobe? 
Also known as Lacha in Punjab and Veshti in Tamil, the sleek Dhoti has evolved much as a style funda for women across the globe!

Although we are all aware with the Indian Lungi and I’m sure each and every household has this one piece of garment that gives the wearer a lot of ease and comfort.
LUNGI also known as a sarong is the most comfortable yet simple outfit worn by men and women. 
 It is particularly popular in regions where the heat and humidity create an unpleasant climate for trousers. Depending on local tradition, lungis can be worn by men and/or women. They are tied or fastened in various ways, and can be used in different cultural activities, ranging from normal daily life to elaborate wedding ceremonies.

From not just a piece of cloth worn in daily routine of life, a Lungi has made its way from the local streets to make a blast on Bollywood’s big screen too.

Shahrukh khan’s 'Lungi Dance' track was one of the biggest chartbusters of 2012. The track, cutting across all the barriers, had reached every nook and corner of nation.

It also has bagged a much-deserved music award and it has also won the Most Popular Song On Radio too.



HOW IT CAN BE WORN?

There are various forms in which a Lungi can be draped, but the simplest form is where the lungi is just draped around the waist and the two ends are tied in a simple knot.
For daily purposes, a simple "double twist" knot is most popular, where two points in the upper edge of lungi are brought together and twisted around twice, with the ends tucked in at the waist. However, it is also common for wearers to simply tie a double "pretzel knot" from 2 points on the upper border, which produces a more secure knot. The lungi's length can also be adjusted, for example, by tucking in the lungi at the waist to make it resemble a short skirt.
