The rules of dressing in the world are very different. Traditions and customs of some countries seem to us unusual and bizarre in places, and some are even astonishing. This material has collected the strangest fashion prohibitions in force in different states of the planet.

Germany - hood

This seemingly strange prohibition has quite a logical explanation. The fact is that the hoods prevent CCTV cameras installed throughout Germany from recognizing people's faces in the event of an offense. Therefore, the authorities have established that the person should remain open and nothing should interfere with the "investigation."

Iran - jeans

You can get a serious fine for wearing denim in Iran. This is due to the consonance of "jeans" with the word "genie", meaning "evil spirit". Here is such a fashionable superstition at the legislative level in the country.

Bahamas - camouflage clothing

The Bahamian government prohibits civilians from wearing camouflage clothing - only military personnel have this right. This is done, first of all, to distinguish ordinary residents from those who serve in the army. In addition, such a ban prevents criminals from using military clothing as a cover for their crimes. By the way, such restrictions apply not only to the Bahamas - the authorities of Jamaica, Barbados and the Philippines are in solidarity in this decision.

South Korea - miniskirt

Even though we're used to seeing Korean pop stars in revealing outfits, off-stage girls are not allowed to wear provocative clothes. Most of all, this concerns short skirts - for appearing in public in a mini, you can get an administrative fine.

Australia - Pink Pants

There is no logic in this rule, it is just that the unpredictable Australian authorities decided to ban the citizens of the country from wearing pink trousers on Sunday afternoons. They did not deign to explain their action, so one can only guess what provoked such a radical decision …

Italy - flip flops

Flip flops, flip flops and sandals are prohibited throughout Liguria. The fact is that it is unsafe to move on the mountain roads of the region in open shoes: you can easily slip, twist your foot, or even fall off a cliff. Therefore, the caring authorities decided to oblige local residents and tourists to walk only in comfortable, sports shoes, otherwise violators will be fined 2.5 thousand euros.

Africa - dark clothes

Not only is the African heat easier to tolerate in light-colored clothing, it will be safer for you. The fact is that dark tissues attract the tsetse fly, the bite of which poses a threat to human health and life. So, when planning a trip to exotic African countries, stock up on light things, and leave black and dark blue for a trip to other regions.

Netherlands - orange color

The unspoken ban on orange clothing was introduced by the people of the Netherlands themselves. The fact is that the inhabitants of the country are tired of eternal associations and stereotypes and decided to abandon outfits in the main shade of the country. Of course, you won't be fined for appearing in public in orange, but this is not customary among locals.
