This Independence Day, skip the token tricolour T-shirt and look at your wardrobe as a flag of its own — stitched with history, layered with meaning, and built to last longer than a single day of patriotism. India’s style story isn’t just about sherwanis in glass boxes or crafts on display at dusty exhibitions. It’s about designers and labels who know how to take handwoven khadi, phulkari embroidery, Mughal fresco prints, and even Olympic history, then flip them into pieces you can wear to brunch, boardrooms, or block parties. From peshawaris that blur the line between shoe and sandal to bomber jackets pixelated with nostalgia, these aren’t just clothes — they’re cultural artefacts with better tailoring.
