In Western societies, skirts, dresses and high-heeled shoes
are usually seen as women's clothing, while neckties are usually seen as
men's clothing. Trousers were once seen as exclusively male clothing,
but are owadays worn by both genders. Male clothes are often more
practical (that is, they can function well under a wide variety of
situations), but a wider range of clothing styles are available for
females. Males are typically allowed to bare their chests in a greater
variety of public places. It is generally acceptable for a woman to wear
traditionally male clothing, while the converse is unusual.In some
cultures, sumptuary laws regulate what men and women are required to
wear. Islam requires women to wear more modest forms of attire, usually
hijab. What qualifies as "modest" varies in different Muslim societies;
however, women are usually required to cover more of their bodies than
men are. Articles of clothing worn by Muslim women for purposes of
modesty range from the headscarf to the burqa.Men may sometimes choose
to wear men's skirts such as togas or kilts, especially on ceremonial
occasions. Such garments were often worn as normal daily clothing by
men. Compared to men's clothing, women's clothing tends to be more
attractive, often intended to be looked at by men.In some societies,
clothing may be used to indicate rank or status. In ancient Rome, for
example, only senators were permitted to wear garments dyed with Tyrian
purple. In traditional Hawaiian society only high-ranking chiefs could
wear feather cloaks and palaoa or carved whale teeth. Under the
Travancore Kingdom of Kerala, (India), lower caste women had to pay a
tax for the right to cover their upper body. In China, before the
establishment of the republic, only the emperor could wear yellow.
History provides many examples of elaborate sumptuary laws that
regulated what people could wear. In societies without such laws, which
includes most modern societies, social status is instead signaled by the
purchase of rare or luxury items that are limited by cost to those with
wealth or status. In addition, peer pressure influences clothing choice.noisy boiler

For example, Jains and Muslim men wear unstitched cloth
pieces when performing religious ceremonies. The unstitched cloth
signifies unified and complete devotion to the task at hand, with no
digression.[citation needed] Sikhs wear a turban as it is a part of
their religion.The cleanliness of religious dresses in Eastern Religions
like Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Islam and Jainism is of paramount
importance, since it indicates purity.Clothing figures prominently in
the Bible where it appears in numerous contexts, the more prominent ones
being: the story of Adam and Eve, Joseph's cloak, Judah and Tamar,
Mordecai and Esther. Furthermore the priests officiating in the Temple
had very specific garments, the lack of which made one liable to
death.Scientists are still debating when people started wearing clothes.
Ralf Kittler, Manfred Kayser and Mark Stoneking, anthropologists at the
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, have conducted a
genetic analysis of human body lice that suggests clothing originated
quite recently, around 107,000 years ago. Body lice is an indicator of
clothes-wearing, since most humans have sparse body hair, and lice thus
require human clothing to survive. Their research suggests the invention
of clothing may have coincided with the northward migration of modern
Homo sapiens away from the warm climate of Africa, thought to have begun
between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. However, a second group of
researchers using similar genetic methods estimate that clothing
originated around 540,000 years ago (Reed et al. 2004. PLoS Biology. For
now, the date of the origin of clothing remains unresolved
