Pakistani Shalwar Kameez: Own It with Pride
We as a Pakistani live in such an amazing civilization that prying into others private matters is the favorite leisure-time hobby for many people unless they take it too seriously to make it a full-time job. We are too quick to comment, judge others & jump to quick conclusions without even thinking twice. To discuss someone’s dressing sense, which Pakistani designer clothes they’re wearing, how do they look, what’s going on in their lives, discussing all those things that have nothing to do with your life is one of the favorite pastime of people. Sometimes it gets really hard for a Pakistani to mind his or her own business. Wondering what all this has to do with a dupatta or Pakistani shalwar kameez? Nosy speculations and “Social Slavery” have influenced most to the relationship of a woman and her dressing choice.
