I came across an article in TOI and thought it would make an interesting topic for discussion. The forum members are men and women both so we can come up with our opinion to understand where we want to see the fashion of men or to be specific Indian men in the future.
No. I don't think women are discarding Sarees. Come to Southern India, especially AP, women love to wear Sarees. In fashion shows Sari clad women are being preferred by the Organizers of the Fashion Parades held in AP.
saris are suitable to Women If a woman wears it looks elegant and beautiful. But If a man wears Sari, he will look like a Joker

No, it's not true. Women are definitely wearing a various type of dresses but saree has a prominent place in their wardrobe. According to the region as well as the age group, the fascination for saree may have got affected a bit but still, a whole lot of ladies love to wear it. In Bengal or among the Bengalis, saree is the ultimate choice for any special occasion.

Nowadays, some males are using ear tops which are not very common but not unusual too. It is a change for the good or not is a secondary question but the experiment is on which has to be accepted.
In African countries like Somalia , Ethiopia , Chad etc men and women wear the same kind of long dresses and head dresses . In Scotland men wear Kilts for formal occasions which is nothing but a pleated skirt. Similarly , Arab men and women wear the same long dresses , the only distinction is in color while men stick to white and pale brown ladies wear black.
When something becomes a norm it is becomes accepted.
Although I would never appreciate women attire for men, one has to accept the fact that with time choice may change and accepting the change will be an intelligent move. You shared a good piece of information.

The fashion shows are only designed for certain people and the models walk on the ramp wearing such clothes because they get a lot of money for wearing them. How silly it would look to see men, built so differently, wearing clothes that are designed make feminine figures more flattering. It would kill all the fun in life but certainly, it would be amusing to see it.
For the men it would be quite thrilling, I suppose. See, when ladies wear trousers they look super confident so when men would go for ladies' attire then they will behave like a coy person. Hopefully, it will reduce their dominating attitude.
Yes, I think wearing sarees would certainly restrict their movements and lead to less violence and other criminal and so called macho activities!
Kalyani, suppose it becomes true then it will be wonderful if the ladies start promoting and campaigning for the men to switch to the female dresses.

Here in India, men wearing Sarees and move in public places evokes laughter.
So I suggest that men accused of sex crimes against women be required by order of court to wear sarees at least for one year and appear at least once in week at relevant police station in saree. This will be appropriate punishment.
It's a very good suggestion, if practiced in reality then it will be definitely a deterrent for the women abusers and criminals.
