सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Wearing 'Shalwar Kameez' is the national identity. On Fridays, many men prefer to wear a clean, white Shalwar Kameez for prayers. In cities like Lucknow and Hyderabad, the 'Gharara' or 'Sherwani' are traditional garments worn with great pride during weddings. There is a specific 'Dua' (prayer) recited while wearing new clothes, thanking God for the provision. Global fashion trends mean that 'Jeans and T-shirt' are now standard 'Kapre' for university students in Lahore or Karachi.
