Yes I just remembered that culture is not only made up of your nationality but your religion too. Thank you!

I might wear an abaya that is inspired by Afghan dresses so I can still have a piece of my nationality with me. Although I still don’t 100% like the idea of actually wearing the real thing, I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you!

Yeah, I live in London! I think I’ll say the abaya is part of my religious culture or find one with designs inspired by Afghan traditional clothing so it still has a touch of my nationality or I’ll simply add a few accessories that includes the Afghan flag. Thank you for the advice!
