It is usually seen that a Muslim man’s clothes are generally influenced by the purpose or the cause of the function he is attending to, be it practical, religious, social, cultural, or political. While most Muslim men wear both the traditional Islamic wear as well as the modern western style of clothing, but in Muslim dominated countries, clothes become formal and specific to functions and occasions.
