North Korea has never ceased to amaze the world for many years. There are many different restrictions in force here, and this time skinny jeans and ripped jeans, as well as some other attributes, were banned, as stated by the corresponding decree of Kim Jong-un. Violators are at risk of being sent "for re-education" to labor camps. However, in other countries there are also very strange bans.

North Korea

Two models of jeans - skinny and ripped - are now banned in the DPRK. Kim Jong-un saw them as a direct threat to the country's social order. Together with jeans, a taboo is introduced on hair dyeing, piercings and any extravagant hairstyles. According to the leader of the country, the pernicious influence of "capitalist fashion" on the fragile minds of young people may well lead to the overthrow of the current regime. Now all those who like to stand out from the crowd will be sent to reeducation in labor camps. Apparently, that hard physical labor once and for all weaned off the idea of the image of an exemplary resident of the DPRK.

Australia

There are rather strange bans on clothing, even in Australia. If suddenly a representative of the strong half of humanity wants to appear on the street or in any public place in a strapless dress in Melbourne, then he will be punished. At the same time, no restrictions apply to dresses with spaghetti straps or, for example, blouses.

There is also a ban on wearing pink pants on Sunday afternoons. A very original limitation that everyone, without exception, must adhere to.

Oklahoma State, USA

In this American state, you cannot appear in public places in so-called hoodies - long sweaters without a fastener and with a hood. The servants of the law saw in them a similarity to the suits worn by representatives of the Ku Klux Klan, a racist organization that promotes the idea of the superiority of white people.

Louisiana, USA

It's easy to earn a $ 500 fine here. If suddenly a law enforcement officer on the street or in a public place notices underwear peeping out from under trousers or a skirt, then the violator can say goodbye to the money. By the way, a dress that is too low-cut, allowing you to see the top edge of the bra, will also lead to a fine.

Ohio, USA

It seems what could be more harmless than patent leather shoes? But the guardians of morality saw a threat to morality even in them. After all, one has only to take a closer look, and it is quite possible to see on a glossy surface … the reflection of underwear, which is unacceptable in Ohio.

Malaysia

In this state, at the legislative level, wearing yellow clothes is prohibited. There are two versions of its appearance. One by one, the yellow color symbolizes the clothes of the infidels, however, initially it was about bright yellow or orange colors. According to the second, Malaysian oppositionists wore yellow clothes to recognize each other on the streets. The government resorted to drastic measures, banning both yellow clothing and yellow accessories with a stroke of the pen.

Kingdom of Swaziland

In this South African state, the fair sex has no legal right to wear the most ordinary panties. The king once decided: if the women of Swaziland for many centuries did without underwear, then now they should not at all be like European or American ladies. Women who had time to appreciate the convenience of wearing underwear, took the ban with hostility, but they still have to follow the law. It will not be possible to hide the wearing of this piece of wardrobe, because special patrols walk the streets to identify offenders.

Each country has its own rules and regulations, which may be radically different from what is accepted in Russia and other countries of the post-Soviet space. In fact, many do not even think about how badly it can damage the reputation, and sometimes even lead to criminal punishment. non-observance of generally accepted norms in the USA. At the same time, in the domestic open spaces, in certain situations, no one even pays attention to this.
