Pakistan Clothing

There are many conservative areas in Pakistan, but today there is a various mix of traditions and cultures in the clothing. Though some people wear the western style clothing, a lot of people still wear the traditional clothing. The traditional Pakistani dress is the Salwar kameez. Salwars are loose fitting trousers designed in various styles and the kameez is a loose fitting tunic that is worn with the salwars. Salwar kameez is an important clothing worn for festivities celebrated in Pakistan by both men and women. Different colors, fits, and silhouettes are used to help distinguish between the men and women's salwar kameez. Lace in different patterns is used to add femininity to the kameez. Women also wear dupattas, which are long yards of cloth worn with the kameez, because there pattern and color are matched to fit their outfit.
As you can see in the picture this is a shop at a market in Karachi were people go and buy the fabric to be made into clothing such as salwar kameez. From what I know it is cheaper to get clothing made from these shops rather than buy an outfit already made at a store. This traditional clothing is what I have always assumed people in Pakistan always wore. Some people have started to wear more of a western style, but the traditional clothing is still worn, because of its comfort and tradition. I think that many people stick more with the traditional clothing because they do not want to change what they have always known to wear. Because it is tradition some people may not want to go against that.
