Based on Profession 

Jai Kisan Style

“Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan” was the famous slogan introduced by the 2nd PM of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri. You can also add a touch of farmer-style outfits during the fancy dress competition to remember the efforts put by farmers to bring stability to the Indian economy. The Indian Farmer dressing style includes a plain shirt and dhoti made of 100% pure cotton material to support all activities during the farming.  

Police and Army Style 

Do you know the reason behind the khaki color for the police uniform? Before independence, Britishers used white-colored uniforms and dyed them for fine prints to wear during official working hours. The other possible reason could be that the police officers had to face many problems like cleaning the dirt quickly during the long duty hours.  

Everything has changed now! Different states have different color police uniforms and are completely under the control of the state body. However, if you plan to wear a police costume for fancy competition, police and army style could be the righteous choice.  

Lawyer  

Unlike other professions, the lawyer wears a black and white color costume. Men wear coats and ties, and for women, saree, gowns, and long skirts are allowed. If you participate in any fashion events, you can try a lawyer outfit and impress the panel team with lengthy yet powerful movie dialogues.
