When do you have to dress up for events in Canada? Did dressing up make the event more special? Why?

I only recently moved to Canada so I can only speak about what events I had in the UAE, yes we dressed up for certain events in the UAE especially for national day people would come to school or go to different places to celebrate the national day while wearing clothes that had the color of the flag, ie. black, red, green or white, or they would come to school wearing traditional clothes such as kandura and abaya, yes dressing up made the events more special because everyone regardless of their nationality celebrated national day there were alot of festivites, such as fireworks, laser shows, water fountain shows and many other traditional dances, clothes and various things displayed, I dressed up for my primary school graduation in graduation robes and we threw our caps in the air which was fun.

When you have to dress up for events, what do you usually wear?

I usually wore the colours on the flag, if it was for another event i would dress up according to what the event is, either formal or casual, sometimes if i was going to celebrate an event that required traditional clothing i would wear traditional clothes.

Search traditional Japanese clothes and pick your favourite. When would you wear this in Japan, what event would you wear this to in Canada?

I really like the look of Yukata, I would wear it for a summer festival in Japan, I would wear Yukata when it would be Canadian national day adorning the colors of the flag, because it would be celebrating the different cultures that came together to transition Canada into what it is today.
