Background
At the first sight, without knowing ethnicity, clothing and appearance is the first representation of any men or women. Asian people have some distinctive characteristics and trends regarding dressing and they tend to maintain their traditional styles particular in cultural and religious events like eid, holly, karwachot etc. For instance, various South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are diverse in terms of spoken language, social structure, religion, cuisines, technology etc. but somehow, they share same cultural values. In the 11th century, after the conquest of Mahmoud Ghaznavi, the trade between India and East Asia had started. Although at that time, western clothing was considered most comfortable type of clothing but in trade, Asian clothing records highly indicated style of the world. Asian clothing styles has changed time by time. In Pakistan, shalwaar kameez became the national dress of the country and they still guard their separate identity as compare to other countries. Many women in Pakistan prefer to wear burqa while going outside.
