“A new trend has emerged in the [Western] fashion world. Or so they say. Fashion bloggers, stylists, and prominent members of the fashion industry are all talking about the ‘dress over pants’ trend, which Pakistanis have been sporting for as long as we can remember.”

I saw this Kendall Jenner tweet awhile ago on the internet and I remember thinking, “Hey that’s what us Pakistani and other South Asian women wear all the time; we’ve been wearing these for years. What’s so special about this?” and then I remembered that if you’re white, everything suddenly becomes sooooo chic and stylish!!! And when the rest of us wear it, we’re insulted or stereotyped, get nasty looks, racist remarks etc etc. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of other celebs in the West wearing clothes like this too and of course they all get praised by the media and fashion bloggers for starting some new and creative trends, but the rest of us get crap for wearing our original cultural clothes.

This dress is pretty common in Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. Pakistani women rock this look pretty well:

Why do they take our fashions and create some bland and boring version of them?

Here’s another article with historical and modern examples of South Asian (Pakistani and Indian) fashion of which these gorees stole, i mean….were “inspired” by lmao

Pakistanis and Indians do it so much better. Wtf is “dress over pants”

Bangladeshis, too!

There’s also the áo dài, which is the traditional Vietnamese dress.

I’ve never worn one, but they’re sold nearly everywhere in any Vietnamese community you’d encounter, especially where I live. “Dress over pants”, lmao

I was not familiar with the áo dài, those are gorgeous

So that’s an ao dai. Duolingo keeps asking me to translate it but ao dia in English is just ao dai, and I was getting really confused. So getting one next month.
