Q. What is the dress code for women in Pakistani universities?
A. While every university has its own rules and regulations, most universities in Pakistan require females to wear shalwar kameez and a dupatta. Some even go as far as to impose sober, light-colored clothing. However, that is very rare, and students have the complete freedom to dress however they want to as long as it is decent. You can get away with wearing whatever you want as long as it is modest and covers a reasonable amount of skin deemed appropriate in Pakistani society.
Q. Can I wear Western clothing in Pakistan? Can I wear skirts?
A. The answer is yes! You absolutely can wear western clothes in Pakistan, and they are widespread, especially in the country’s major cities, including Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, as long as they are modest. The smaller towns and villages are more conservative; thus, wearing traditional clothing might be your best option there.
As for skirts, maxi ones that go down to your mid calves and ankles are splendid wear and look super chic. I would advise against wear knee or shorter-length skirts.
