Formally everyone is free to wear whatever they choose, but please dress conventional for your own sake. You will face much less problems and enjoy you trip more. Ladies, cover your arms and legs completely. Put a scarf loosly over you hair. Nothing tight or see-through. Men, no shorts or t-shirts. Afghan women wear long wide skirts and blouses, not punjabi suits. Just for your information if you want to blend in better.
