The
main dress worn by the people of Kerala is mainly traditional in nature
though the costumes are to a large extent guided by the geographical
conditions of the region.
The traditional dress forms are the 'Mundu and Neriathu' (a white piece
of cloth with golden zari border symbolising royalty) for men; and 'sari'
(a 5-6 metres long piece of cloth embroidered with golden border) with
jacket for women.
With the changing trends in fashion and designing, the dress codes have
changed. A multitude of colours and designs are available today.
Men and women today are clad in a variety of dresses.
The people have now taken to the northern style of dressing up though the
western dresses have also found a lot of acceptance among the masses.
