That’s a cultural difference (one I like). Americans just aren’t as formal. And “dressing up” is often a low priority. Of course, some people take this to a fault, but I also am not a fan of the constant pressure and comments that girls get about how their dressed in Pak.

I also resisted it especially when I was younger and studying. The intellectual in me did not want to validate the superficial side.

Dressed, and look like. The way I see it, most commonly, shalwar kameez are worn by girls there. And no one sews a plain shalwar kameez. Somehow, with them you ahve to wear certain kind of shoes and jewellery and what nots. The girls there have a “saloon” at every corner of the street that can do threading, waxing, bleaching for pennies and they can go whenever they want.

It’s not the same in the west. We usually wear jeans and a tshirt, which is IMO more comfortable. I have an exam I am not giong to be worried about dressing up. I’d rather pull on a hoodie and jeans and walk out the door.

However, if the occasion called for it and I was wearing shalwar kameez, I would definitely dress up, as would any other girl not living in Pak would do.
