most popular footwear is converse shoes which can be worn formally or informally , with jeans or with
cotton, with shorts, skirts or pants. Its versatility is a major reason for its popularity. For shorts and one
pieces, women generally use high heels and flat slippers as per the cloth but while wearing jeans, closed
shoes and converse are widely used. Latest growing trend for women include use of thin slippers.

Formal dresses are generally used while going to offices, schools and functions/parties. For men, formal
dress includes Shirts, Cotton pants, Coats, Tie and Leather shoes. For ladies, formal dress includes Kurta-
suruwal, sarees, Cotton Pants, Skirts, Shirts. But due to lack of fashion sense in rural areas and for less
privileged people financially, maintaining formal dress may not be possible and so may wear what they
have.

Informal dress are used in all other times, going out , having fun, at homes etc. For men, informal dress
most of the times means jeans, tshirts, halfpants with pair of sunglasses and slippers/converse shoes/
trendy shoes. For girls, one piece, shorts, mini-skirts, choose-pants, t-shirts, converse shoes, high heels
etc.

Changing trends in pants

The fashion of pants started in the late 80s with surge of use in belly-bottom pants, which was made
famous in Nepal by international bands and Indian movies. Then after, parallel pants became the new
trend with all youth banking on it to make their fashion statements. Then came choose-pants, those
that are fitting the body from hips to bottom of legs. Even the youngsters in schools started wearing these
types of pants and some schools had to ban such pants to be worn by students to maintain discipline.
Then came the time for quarter/half pants. These days boys still wear carwash/monkey wash pants and
girls are more into shorts and one pieces. Some pictures of belly-bottom, parallel and choose pants are below:
