Shalvar Kameez is a national dress of Pakistanis.
Shalvar stands for trousers, kameez for a shirt. Women also wear the third piece called dupatta which is a long scarf that can be used in various ways: as a cover for a head under the sun, bad sheet in the train, warm cloth for cold times, and, finally, a nice part of the dress. The brighter the dress the better, especially for official meetings and weddings happening all year round.
When a foreign women is wearing shalvar kameez, people treat her as a local. Otherwise all men stare at her at the streets, that happened with me as well.

1. Took a rickshaw and went to a gulf market with Tabinda...
