During the winter season in India, the temperature may drop drastically, therefore warm clothing would be essential. As the landscape of India is diverse, we would advise you to include the clothes by taking care of the weather and temperature of the area on the particular season.
In the hot Indian summers, we recommend light cotton tops, shorts and trousers. If you are travelling to any of India’s national parks, remember to pack some long-sleeved cotton tops for game drives.
Besides, when you are going to visit a religious monument and shrines you may need to dress formally, so both men and women should pack some long skirts and pants. Major cities such as Mumbai and Delhi are fast becoming westernized and you'll see people wearing jeans, t-shirts, and even short skirts. In smaller cities and villages, people still dress conservatively. In general, the most important rule for both ladies and men is to keep your legs and shoulders covered. However, it's okay for women to show shoulders and for men to wear shorts in large cities and beach locations such as Goa. In nightclubs, western dress standards of jeans and a top (or dress) for girls, and jeans and a t-shirt or shirt for guys, apply.
