North Korean Laws You Won't Believe Are Real

4. You must follow a dress code

In North Korea, the fashion police are out in force. In Pyongyang, unpaid government workers stroll the streets to make sure that nobody’s wearing anything that looks too foreign. That essentially means no writing on clothing in any other language than Korean — even Roman letters are forbidden and would be classed as an attempted invasion on cultural ideology. Other contraband items of clothing? Blue jeans, trousers that aren’t straight-legged, sun hats, and clothes that are too skimpy.
