It would take ages to describe all of the differnet types of dresses that are prevelant in India. However, I'm going to focus on several important dresses for both males and females. Unlike females, males don't have much variety.
Traditional outfit for Indian men is known as dothi and kurta tops. India's freedom hero, Mahatma Gandhi also wore dothi. In most of the major cities, men don't wear dothi everyday to work. They were the western outfits: pant, shirt, jeans, and t-shirt. However, when they go to temples, or other traditional South-Indian ceremonies, men often wear dothi's and kurtas. This picture on the left, dipicts how a Dothi and Kurta is worn. Another most common type of outfit is the Sherwani. It is highly decorated, extremely ornate
, and mostly made of silk. This outfit consists of a long tunic, with matching pants, and in addition it has a long scarf. It is a formal dress worn by most North-Indian men during weddings, religious ceremonies, and other parties.

But most people love to wear either one. Other than that, boys/men of our generation mostly wear Jeans and a T-Shirt. Well, the good thing is that men don't have to worry much about shopping in India because there's nothing complicated to look for.
