Many men became Westernized and followed English fashions to the hilt. Others simply wore Western garments like coats or overcoats along with their kurta and pyjama. Interesting outfits evolved with both Western and Indian elements. Women’ s styles too were impacted albeit to a lesser degree. As Western accessories made an entry Indian ornamentation retreated. New fabrics and materials were appreciated and accepted. These along with Western techniques and motifs even appeared in the form of household items to complement the new furnishings and ways of living.
