There was a discussion here a few days ago...I think it was in the wedding photo thread...about Sikh / Punjabi fashion. I was never terribly into fashion myself...to the great disspointment of my dad who to this day still has his bon marley stylee Gabbicci knit-ganzee cardigan hanging in his wardrobe. But the internet, Joobie tube, instabook, face chat, snap crack and popple are absolutely jam-packed these days with Singhs and Kaurs displaying their 'style'. We're overloaded with dastar wearing girls posing in shots showing how stylish and fashionable they look and it seems a Singh can't be a proper singh and get his picture on the world-wide web thingy these days unless he's laying on the dapper style with a cravatte, sporting the world's biggest turban or playing tonsil tennis with a transvestite. But what do i know about fashion ?   Not that much really. I know uncles from Birmingham and the Midlands have a penchant for wearing cheap trainers with their suits and ladies from India will wear extraordinarily lovely gear from the top of their head to their ankles but will round it of with either the most horrible shoes or cheap nasty looking grey socks....under which are the hideously deformed feet that almost every female from India has. But apart from that, what do I know. The answer is nothing. I know this picture coming up below is meant to be really fashionable but to me looks like 3 extremely effeminate fellas heading off to the kusra convention:

I know this Singh needs to re-think the whole length of the beard approach in order to make this work:

I know the less I say about this Singh the better:

I know in a few years Diljit's gonna regret ever being seen in public wearing this monstrosity and MC hammer pants:

I know she doesn't look half as good as she thinks she looks :

I know I'd like to punch these 3 in the face :

I know given the chance I probably would;

and i know if its cold enough to require a scarf and gloves you should at least give some thought to perhaps wearing a jacket or coat.

but other than that.....I don't know much about fashion at all.

be prepared it is only going to get more diverse.

apart from the gloves this Singh looks good

Yes, I think it's a given that one should put a jacket or coat on before even thinking about the need for gloves.

However, what this Singh has shown is that the Sikh models have fully embraced the 1970's art of 'pretending to look at something far away'. All the Sikh fashion models are at it :

These two are clearly not compatible with each other. He's infatuated with something far away to the west whereas she just can't seem to take her eyes off something in the east:

These 4 are all over the place, easily distracted by all sorts of things happening in all directions :

This one's seen something so amazing to the east he's even taken his eye off his phone :

This one's not very happy with whatever is happening to her left :

This one's just seen a £5 note laying on the floor to his right and is debating whether he should stop the photo shoot and pick it up:

This one is marrying Varinder in 30 minutes but has just seen Manjinder walking down the street and is now having second thoughts:

But....where does it all come from....this 'pretending to look at something far away' approach to fashion photography ?   I'll tell you where it comes from..................1970's catalogues. Back in the 1970's they not only invented it they turned it into an artform. Take these blokes here....basically what they're saying is "that thing far away over there is so brilliant I can't even be bothered to put my trousers on"

But those were different times. Those were times when, in order to convince you to buy some underwear, they would place them on the most hideously ugly fat bloke because, as we all know, all men like to buy items of clothing they've seen on hideously ugly fat blokes:

Ah yes. The golden era of model photography:

In the days of the empire and 19th century Sikhs seem to to wear long kurta or chola with pyjami and then tie long material/fabric around their waist.  Sikhs definitely looked and dressed better in the old days, they look like princes

That's actually very interesting Puzzled. Umm...it seems our people have been doing the old 'pretending to look at something far away' since cameras were invented. We may have even invented the genre. :)

Wow those old images sure look cool.  You can't dress like that anymore without being called a muslim.  Dressing up like the trendy color photos from social media incites hankaar and should not be done/encouraged.  Just dress in typical western dress with your paaj how you wish it, or no paaj at all since manbuns are in now.

Incites hankaar in who though namespace ? Everyone or you ?  Controlling hankaar is an individual's own responsibility. It's too easy blaming it on how another is dressed. There are men in isolated rural India, Wales, Australia and Argentina who, through lack of female objects, start to find the goat and cow very attractive because of the way it is not dressed. Do we blame the goat for inciting it ?

Yes. We do totally believe that no hair dye has come anywhere near that moustache.

The outfit is actually quite nice but in my opinion not the right time to be scratching your balls from inside your pocket:

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
