One of the many things we learned from our special lecture by Magnet teacher Deborah Morehead was that Asian mean still wear skirts.

In Asian countries, it's perfectly acceptable for a man to switch between a three piece Western suit and a salwar-kameez, a robe or a lungi.

Nowadays, fashion conscious Asian men are adopting long flowing robes, jackets and dhotis or baggy kameezs and salwars, with a shawl thrown over the shoulder.
