    If you’re living in one of those very conservative on women’s dress Islamic nations (i.e. Middle East or Central Asia) then there are cultural limits imposed beyond the baseline of the religion.

    A Senegalese Muslim woman in colourful patterned headscarf and matching dress is following what Islam requires.
    Some places have kept, or imposed, much stricter controls on women’s dress (amongst other things). And while they might choose to wear more colourful ones, many of these countries (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Bahrain, through to Pakistan and Afghanistan) turn a blind eye to femicide and are plagued by honour killings.
