DRESSING FOR DHAKA
Heat, humidity, traffic, and sudden rain. A practical wardrobe philosophy for the capital.
“Dress for the rickshaw, the office, and the rain, in that order.”
THE CLIMATE
Breathable cotton for eight months, layered weaves for the other four. Dark colors for traffic days, quick-dry muslin for monsoon.
THE COMMUTE
Knee-covering lengths, secure dupatta drapes, and fabrics that forgive a crowded bus. Practicality is a design feature, not a compromise.
