DATA GATHERED MYANMAR Some young people seem to dislike wearing traditional or national costumes because there is a little problem between them. We wear our national costumes for keeping our culture. According to the Myanmar’s weather conditions, national costumes cannot give us comfort and ease. The clothes are very thick and not suitable to wear all the time. So we must put on these clothes only in the special occasions such as wedding, festivals, ceremonies and so on
