Clothing Day! Probably less universally exciting than food day, but still interesting! I wonder what my theme should be for tomorrow? Hair? Teeth? What else does every human possess and have opinions on?
Okay, show and tell! I am going to give categories and you get to share your favorite examples of each one. I look forward to lots and lots of shared photos!
Hats
I pick Kajol’s hat in “Ho Gaya Hai Tujko”! It’s the only part of her outfit that I like, and it is a perfect example of the 90s hat style in the West. Which is my favorite hat style, I still have like 4 wide brim straw hats.

Shoes
Hema’s white boots from Seeta Aur Geeta, definitely! A great go-go Western modern 70s look, and a perfect kind of throwback to swashbuckling swordfighting outfits to go with her Hero role.

Use of Color
Boring choice, but Swades! Specifically Gayatri’s “Saawariya” outfit

Use of Feathers
Amitabh in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom! Love the wacky feathers on his hat, that is what brings it from just “odd outfit” to “magical wandering bard who is not of this world”

Use of Patches
“Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen”! I take it before you can, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!! Such in insane ridiculous half leg patch thing. I don’t even necessarily like it, but boy does it take the eye!

Use of Jacket
Sanjay in Khalnayak! That black and white look, the way he could sweep the hem of it around, irrisistable. I can’t think of a better jacket.

Okay, your turn! One category or all of them, share your favorite example or the strangest example or the most beautiful example or whatever you want!

It still won’t always work depending on if the image source has locked it, but it usually works. And at the very least, we will always be able to click the link and view the image ourselves)
I really want to do an all Govinda edition but there are no pictures sooooo.

Then do a No Govinda edition! Or a partial Govinda edition. Surely there are some shoes/feathers/hats/etc. you like that you CAN find a photo of?

Hats – I’m all for big floppy summer hats, they’re the only kind I wear besides the occasional baseball cap, so I’m going Anushka in Dil Dhadakne Do
Shoes – I couldn’t think of anything specific, so I googled “bollywood movie shoes” and I found this. Not sure where it’s from, but Sridevi’s boots are amazing.
Color – Deepika’s blue sari in YJHD! Or her blue outfit in HNY! Deepika in blue!
Feathers – Again, Google gave me great things.

Jacket – The only one I could find was Salman’s in Maine Pyar Kiya and like whoa.
And patches, yeah, I got nothing.

Great choices, all around! Love Anushka’s hat, especially the way she flips it and models it and uses it to show her character confidence.
Agree on Sridevi’s boots. Also, timeless! You could wear them today just as easily as you could wear them in the 80s.
Deepika in blue! Especially that blue outfit from HNY. You can fully understand how Shahrukh was so gobsmacked.
And yes Salman’s jacket! now I feel kind of bad for forgetting it.
