Contemporary Pakistan Clothing


For the more traditional clothing in Pakistan one tends to see more normal type to of dress attire like from this picture. One can see most males will wear a scarf that drapes over their shoulders compared to the women they will either do the same with a larger scarf or drape it over their head as well. Clothing a bit different when it comes to most cultures because in Pakistan it is cheaper to have your clothes seemed and made then it is to buy them from a store. The reason because cloth is cheaper so people find that buying cloth and paying a very cheap fee for a seamstress to hem ones cloths is actually cheaper over there. Compared to the U.S. that would actually be alot more expensive to do that then to just buy your cloths from a store. it is funny to see how different their society is when it comes to buying and selling cloths. One could say it is the complete opposite to most cultures and to me that makes makes this country so unique and interesting.

  1. It's almost the same in Indonesia where people still have their clothes made, not only because it's cheaper but you can basically create your own design, which I think is fun :)

  2. I agree I think that it is very interesting how clothes are cheaper when they are hand made. In America it is the complete opposite. Weird
