Dress codes can create strict social rules that show who is in charge in different cultures.

• Exclusions: People who don’t follow the usual clothing styles might be treated unfairly.

• Misinterpretation: Outsiders might misunderstand the importance of certain clothes, which can lead to disrespect.

To solve these problems, it’s important to learn about local customs. Talking with community leaders can help everyone understand each other better and improve communication.
