'What to wear in Mumbai?' Anything but Black (via Globespotters)

Most leisure or business travelers visiting Mumbai have planned their trip in detail.
One thing that they might not have carefully considered is the clothes.
Anand Giridharadas offers some suggestions in Dressed by the Best: What to Wear in Mumbai? (Globespotters).

He mentions Priya Kishore, founder of Bombay Electric who confesses that the biggest mistake she made was bring a bunch of black clothing with her and had to get rid of it as it did not work in the local hot weather.
She suggests adopting the kurta and describes it as "closely related to the kaftan, and comes in a mind-boggling array of styles: with sleeves or without, with buttons or a slit, long or short, formal or casual. You can choose from a jewel-encrusted luxe version by Elizabeth Hurley or Nalandda Bhandari, a fashion-forward version by Manish Arora, a minimalistic rendition by my own store’s label, Gheebutter, or something cheap and cheerful by Fabindia. The wonderful thing about the kurta is that you can wear it to a dinner party or a night club, a street market or a temple, and not seem out of place anywhere".

Any suggestions?

I found this selection of kurtas on Exotic India.
