Q. When do people wear traditional clothing in your country?
Answer:
It all depends on the moods of the people involved as well as
the weather. However, generally
speaking, people in my country like to
wear traditional clothing during religious festivals and
ceremonies and
wedding ceremonies. Many people also choose to wear traditional
clothing during “New Year” celebration (different from the English “New
Year” calendar).
Q. How have clothes fashions changed in your country over the
last few decades?
Answer:
Clothing styles and fashions have significantly changed in our
country over the last few decades. As a result, traditional clothing today
is “frowned upon” unless they are worn during some “traditional festivals
and celebration”. In fact, today we can see that even a 60-year-old
person is wearing “blue jeans” and “t-shirt” which was almost impossible
to imagine before a few decades. Besides, there are many
more choices
of clothing fabrics today than what it used to before a few decades.
Anyway, these changes are not unexpected because the clothing
companies are coming up with newer and newer fashions in order to
“break” into the new market segments.
Q. What is the difference between clothes that young people
and old people like to wear?
Answer:
As far as I can see, today there is a very
small difference, if
any at all, between what young people and old people like to wear.
However, it is not unusual to see some old people still are choosing to
wear traditional clothing most of the times while young people have no
interest in wearing them whatsoever. Besides, both the “young” and
“old” people today want more from their lives, and therefore, it is only
natural that both generations would want to bring some “styles” and
“colours” in their lives by wearing
dresses that are trendy and
fashionable.
