As said, teen clothing is the kind of dress sense that a teenager does maintain. Teenage clothing in our country is mostly affected by the place of residence, culture, and heritage. Aside from these, western countries had a significant influence on the lifestyles of their colonial countries, which influenced the fabrication style as well.

In the same way, a boy who has got his teen on is mainly encouraged to wear a dhoti along with a towel on his shoulder. This means that he has got into the age where he is taking household responsibility on to his shoulders. As he is the pillar of the house, his body should always be maintained at a cool temperature. According to Indian tradition, the masculine organs of a person who wears a dhoti are significantly healthier than those who do not.
