What are dhoti pants? How are they worn in modern Indian fashion?

Dhoti pants are a modern fusion interpretation of the traditional dhoti — they incorporate the draped, gathered front panel and tapered ankle silhouette of a dhoti but in a structured, stitched trouser form. They are worn like regular pants but look like a draped dhoti.

Key characteristics:

• Gathered or pleated front panel creating a draped effect
• Tapered at the ankles — not wide like palazzo
• Often have a drop-crotch silhouette
• Typically in solid or subtle print fabrics

How styled in current wholesale:

• Paired with short crop kurtis or ethnic tops — this is the bestselling co-ord combination
• With plain solid kurta for men in festive styling
• As part of co-ord set in cotton or rayon

Wholesale price: Women dhoti pants ₹180–₹380. Dhoti pants + top co-ord set ₹450–₹1,000.
