In my honest humble opinion, I feel that the clothing of South India is honestly the best. With the nice borders with different varieties and shades, and even style. From the long-worn mundus of Kerala, to the old-fashioned panchakatcham style in Andhra. I feel that the south Indian clothing has a more flashy and classy look. In TN, borders come in different varieties and lengths, from red-gold to green-gold, with matching shawls. Clothing in TN and clothing in Kerala are definitely similar, they are worn the same (in the men's case), but frankly TN clothing is more flashier, but TN style of veshtis and shawls are a big trend in Kerala nowadays. In Andhra, outfits are similar to TN also, but are worn diffeently, the borders are somewhat the same, but stitched differently (also jewelry, and other accessories). Even thozhilaali clothing stands out, with colorful lungis of TN and Kerala, along with the thalaikattu, the whole clothing line just stands out, what do you all think?

  If you want a good mundu and thundu, you can get in Chennai, there are many stores that offer a variety of mundus with different zari borders. If you wear it in panchakatcham style (Andhra Pradesh style) they have their own exquisite zari borders coming in a variety of styles and colors, but worn differently compared to TN and Kerala.
