The excavations from these buried towns show that people who dwelt in the lndu valley more than 4000 years ago, wore a robe with or without embroidery over the left shoulder and under the right arm, extending well below the knees, and another skirt like garment which was secured round the waist by a cord which might have been either a form or breeches or alternatively a close clinging dhoti. The women were bare to the waist, except for the jewelry and were draped below in scanty skirts which ended above the knees. The skirt was held by a girdle made of strings or beads or bands of woven material secured by a broach or fastening of some kind. Sometimes in the cold weather cloak was wrapped round the upper part of the body, but it did not extend below the hem of the skirt, it only covered the arms without concealing the breasts. Women sometimes wore a fan-shaped head-dress, but no footwear was worn by either sex. Both men and women kept long hair parted in the middle and coiled in a ring on top of the head, or in similar rings concealing the ears. Sometimes the hair was gathered up in a knot or bun and secured by a fillet which circled the forehead. Combs and hair pins were sometimes worn in the hair and thin ribbons of gold with decorative pendants were used as ornaments on the sides of the head. Ornaments like pendants, earrings, coils of gold or silver, necklaces with rows of beads with different shapes, bangles, anklets and finger rings of various shapes, bangles, anklets and finger rings of various shapes were in use. There is evidence to show that the ladies of 'Mohenjodaro' were adept in the use of make-up and used khol and lipsticks to beautify themselves. The Aryans were inhabitant of northern India i.e., Punjab and Kashmir. The Aryan conquest swept over the 'Sumerians' down to the south were the refugees settled down to become the ancestors of the 'Dravedians'. In their acclimatization to the warmer environments of their new home, the Dravedians gave up their winter cloaks, long hair and beards but retained their original apparel and omaments. The prevalent fashion of the rolled and bifurcated loin cloth a worn by both sexes in South India answered the description o the men's clinging dhotis and the scanty skirts of the women The Nair women of the south are used to being bare to the waist while a few of the medieval, feminine south Indian fashions of hair styles are very similar to those discovered in the 'Mohenjodaro' excavations.

From the list : Style & Fashion by shalincraft

The term style is a popular word in fashion and refers to a sub-division within fashion. By definition, it is that which has certain characteristics that distinguish it from other designs. For example, the fashion could be pleated skirt, yet the style is box pleat. It is a common fallacy to believe that the famous designers create fashions. They create styles which they hope will be accepted. When and if there is consumer support the styles then becomes fashion. It is repetitious but important to stress that fashion is synonymous with acceptance.
