How should Americans dress in India?
Indian males typically dress in a style that we are used to seeing in the western hemisphere (i.e.: trousers, with a light-weight, respectable shirt), while females dress in a more traditional “Indian” style. In order to be respectful of Indian norms and to avoid unwanted attention, women should dress conservatively. Women should plan to cover their upper arms and legs, and wear loose-fit clothing, long skirts, Capri pants, and light-weight pants. Both men and women should have light weight but good walking shoes which can be easily removed when entering homes, temples, etc.
