Bhutan is a living testimony to the existing dress code steeped in cultural. It was a norm how a male and female has to be dress in the public in the past and in the present. The National dress of Bhutan is Gho and Kira. The Gho is for the men and Kira is for women. The men adorn themselves in a robe like cloth which is wear around their body and secured by a traditional belt called Kera. The robe is of knee-length when dressed and convert in to huge pocket in the upper body and we boost of having the biggest pocket in the world. When undressed it converts in the huge of cloth extending to the ankle which if required can be used as a blankets but the time has passed for arise of such occasion.
The women wore a traditional outfit called Kira which is ankle length from the bottom of the neck and secured by a kera. The out fit is usually bright colored with various patterns. Due to changed in fashion, a comfortable version during the summer is worn commonly known as half kira. This particular dress has over shadowed the traditional version and taken the women's attire by storm.

The uniqueness of the dress differentiates the Bhutaneses from the others and it is the back bone of our culture which should be preserved for times to come.
