Look for cotton shalwar kameez

Look for a cotton shalwar kameez when shopping in any of Bangladesh's markets. A shalwar kameez is the traditional costume Bangladesh women wear. The shalwar is like a loose embroidered pajama, while the kameez is like a tunic. Wearing one in the country greatly helps in keeping yourself comfortable against the hot climate.

You can have one for yourself for about Tk 800-1500 in a shop or Tk 400 in a market. You can also opt to buy one in silk, which costs around Tk 600 in a market or Tk 1500-3000 in a shop.
