Clothing Etiquette in Bangladesh

Dress modestly in Bangladesh, especially in cities, government offices, and religious sites: men usually wear shirts and long trousers, while women commonly choose salwar kameez, long skirts, or other loose clothing that covers shoulders and knees. In rural areas and during festivals, traditional clothing such as the sari for women and the panjabi or lungi for men is common, and very revealing outfits can draw unwanted attention.
