What type of clothing should men wear?
Question
What kind of dress should a man wear? Is it permissible to wear t-shirt coat and shirt?
Answer
Preferably a kurta coming to below the knees, a topee and a trouser above the ankles.
If there is no resemblance with any particular cult then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
