#How Indian streetwear grew
Three things came together between 2018 and 2023.
- The oversized t-shirt became the everyday fit of young India. Read What Is an Oversized T-Shirt? for the full story.
- Many brands started to sell directly from their own websites and Instagram pages. They did not need shops or marketplaces to start.
- Fans wanted designs about their own culture. Regional languages, Bollywood, cricket, anime and Indian music all became tee designs.
Today, the scene ranges from ₹500 tees to premium labels that show at international fashion weeks.
