Religion

There are many types of religion in the world today. Religion affects the type of clothes that people wear because different religions have different beliefs and people wear different types of clothes when it comes to worship.Muslim women in Malaysia.

For example, the Muslim women cover their heads with chendors. This is because to the Muslim people, a woman's hair is a sign of her sexuality. A chaste, modest, pure woman does not want her sexuality to enter into interactions with men in the smallest degree.

SikhSikh men are also known to not cut their hair but knot it up under a turban. Orthodox Jews

In Judaism, Orthodox men wear hats or yarmulkas (skullcaps) at all times as a sign of respect to God.

Monks and priests of different religions also dress themselves differently. Monks in Asian countries like Thailand and India tend to dress in lighter colours as temperatures here are higher. Buddhist monks in different countries also dress differently.
