One of PM Modi's go-to attire is a half-sleeves kurta, churidar and a sleeveless jacket, also popularly known as Modi jacket. Think of PM Modi and his image in kurta, churidar and half sleeves jacket conjures up instantly. If you were to scan images of PM Modi on the internet, the one adjective that comes to mind is that his dressing is very simple and devoid of any frills. Clearly, the fashion principle he swears by is to keep it minimal and comfortable.
Right from his RSS days to now in his third term in office, PM Modi has been wearing clothes made from khadi or handspun cotton fabric. Khadi fabric is sustainable too and it is one of the beloved fabrics of Mahatma Gandhi. By wearing khadi fabric to date, PM Modi gives a subtle boost to Indian textiles and local artisans. He has worn a lot of khadi jackets on international platforms to spread more awareness about the fabric.
From wearing a lime green sleeveless jacket to wearing a pink number, PM Modi does not shy from wearing any colour per se. However, he seems to have a natural liking towards white colour. One can rarely think of any colour that PM Modi has not worn in all these years.

Besides, they make for a great formal wear option that others view as a symbol of authority and diplomacy.
