Hi friends,

Wanted to what are the general outfits that Indian ladies wear once they are in Canada?

Do they wear Indian Salwar kameej-sarees at work places or casually?

Beacause I have a lot of these items and was not sure whether to discard them or carry with me when I travel there.

Any feedback or opinions are welcome.

I guess it depends on where you work. Typically in an office environment you would not wear shalwar kameez or saris...however you can still wear them at other times such as in the home or at family/friend get togethers.

I used to wear them a lot but now find that I hardly wear them anywhere. Jeans are too comfortable. However for formal parties (ie. hall parties, weddings etc) they are great.

PP - do you get a chance to wear them often??

I do actually...especially when I'm visiting the in-laws side of the family, they are very traditional when it comes to clothing. They don't care what I wear when I'm not with them, but I don't mind wearing a shalwar kameez or sari when I'm with my hubby's side of the family. My own family on the other hand are very easy going and don't expect me to wear Indian clothes unless I want to.

I just went to a family wedding at the weekend...got a chance to wear some new sari's my mum got me from India, they are very beautiful and I got some nice compliments.

What do you do with any Indian clothes that you don't want anymore? I keep them aside for when my mum goes to India to give away but sometimes I have to wait a long time before she goes there...my MIL goes to India quite often but I couldn't give them to her as most of the items are pieces she has given me herself!!
