North Korea Limits Fashion: Jeans and Hair Styles Restricted

North Korea Limits Fashion: Jeans and Hair Styles Restricted

In North Korea, the government controls what people can wear and how they can style their hair.

They ban blue jeans because they are seen as a symbol of American culture.

Other banned items include ripped denim, branded t-shirts, piercings, and spiky hairstyles.

There are only 28 approved hairstyles in total.

Men have a choice of 14 short haircuts, and women also have 14 approved styles.

The goal of these rules is to control culture and keep outside influences away.
