National costume or traditional wears of a
particular country are an important part of the culture of that country, but
with globalization of cultures and other exchanges taking place, now they seem
to be losing importance. To what extent do you agree with this statement?
The national
costume or traditional wears of a country have their own uniqueness. They reflect
a lot about the country, like its culture, traditions, climatic condition etc.
just like other national identities, it is the duty of the citizens of a nation
to preserve the value of their national costume and traditional wears.
As the pace of life
is increasing, people are avoiding to wear traditional dresses in their own
routine. They have become more practical, hence look at the comfort of the
dress rather than emotions. They mostly go for casual dresses or formal wears
while at work because many times wearing traditional dresses is cumbersome and
time consuming. Taking India’s national costume for instance which is “shervani”
for men and “sari” for women, it is really difficult to carry oneself
comfortably in it for long hours. Moreover, as globalization has taken place, a
variety of clothes are available, so it also goes on personal choice of what to
wear.
I still do not
believe that national costume or traditional dresses have lost their
importance. In my country, people still wear traditional dresses on social and
religious occasions. They still feel proud when they wear traditional dresses.
Even national leaders wear national costume when visit other countries as they represent
their nation. In international events like Olympics, Miss Universe etc. , each
participant represents a particular country by wearing the national costume. This
all signifies the value of national costume and traditional dresses and their
place in people’s heart.
Although the use
and preference of national costume and traditional dresses has reduced over the
years and they have gone out of our routine, they still are a source of
inspiration to modern fashion and trends and have maintained their importance.
