The way I see it and render it, you don’t wear your culture out, you must wear it in your heart, and you should never forget where you belong, and where your roots truly lay. Cloths are just to cover your body, cloths does not cover your culture, So it is up to you how much body you want to cover and how much you want to show. (That depends in your personality (The person inside you.)), you choose your cloth that suits your personality, without you actually knowing this. It is not only you who does that, I do that my self, and every people in this world do that. But not every one thinks about this. If you have a personality of a type who doesn’t give a sh*t about the world, then you dress like a junkie, hippy, or something weird types of cloths. People with ambitions, and want something with their life, wear suits, clean and tidy cloths and so on. Talking about our culture, we had a dress that suited our climates, way of life, religion, and garments. The dress we have is a tradition as every country round the globe has, Tradition does not have fashion, it is representing us all as ONE (Nepali). We should not forget our Tradition, We should respect it and keep it, But we should not be boring either, we should move with the time, create our own fashion design, from our culture too. Wearing western dress does not make you western, What truly matters is how you feel inside. Not wearing Nepali dress does not make you alien to Nepal or Nepali. Acting, thinking and behaving like an alien from the west make you truly an alien to Nepali culture.
