What clothing is appropriate to wear if you are visiting Afghanistan?

Well, first and most importantly, women should keep the top of their head covered at all times. In the large cities, such as Kabul, the type of clothing will vary from very rural to very modernized urban clothes. You must also take into account the weather. Although most of Afghanistan is covered with mountains, the sun is notoriously hot. It is suggested that you keep your body covered to avoid sunburn, but also wear loose fitting clothes to stay cool.
