Fashion in different cultures
The
term “fashion” differs from one culture to another. Each culture is famous for
some kinds of clothes. Also, each type of clothes reflects the tradition and
culture that they belong to. Each culture chooses their traditional clothes
that convoys with their lifestyle. Cultures and traditions are different from
one country to another. However, Kuwait and India have some similarities. One
of these similarities is the way that men dress. In this post I will talk about
the similarities and differences between the Dishdashah ( the traditional dress
for men in Kuwait) and the Kurta (the traditional dress for men in India)
As you can see in this picture, this
is the Kuwaiti traditional clothes for men ( Dishdashah). Old men in a daily
basis mostly wear this type of clothes. In some governmental work places, this
type of clothes is mandatory during working hours. Dishdashah is also worn in
special occasions such as weddings, religious gatherings, funerals and job
interviews.
In this picture you can see the Kurta
(The Indian traditional clothes for men). This type of clothes is mostly worn
by men of different ages for different occasions such as weddings, funerals,
and religious occasions. Kurtas are worn both as casual everyday wear and as
formal dress.
Both of these types of clothes have
similarities such as the usage, occasions, the type of materials used to make
these type of clothes and both of them have short sleeved and long sleeved
types. On the other hand, there are many differences between these two clothes.
The first one is the color. For Dishdashah, it has certain colors for summer
and certain colors for winter. As for the Kurta, all types of colors are used
through out the year and in all seasons. Another difference is that
Dishdashah’s length is to the ankles but kurta’s length ends just beneath the
knees.
No matter how different is each
culture sense of fashion, we must respect other people choice and traditions.
