{{/usCountry}}“It's comfortable, stylish & super versatile. Don't see why everyone shouldn’t wear it,” shared an Instagram user. “Lungi is okay but skirts are not? I don’t understand, they literally serve the same purpose,” posted another. “And, killed it!” praised a third. “So lungis aren't wrap-up skirts? Surprising how people look at the outfit differently because of the cloth. Denim is also cotton btw,” commented a fourth. “You guys nailed it… I guess clothes should be normalised… if we girls wear pants then why can’t boys wear skirts… people in southern India wear lungi and skirts and lungis are similar,” expressed a fifth. “Ending stereotypes,” wrote a sixth.
