Impressive Sikkim Fashion - Is it only about interesting mix of traditional & contemporary or more than that?

One of the first things we noticed when we set foot in Sikkim was how well-dressed almost everyone was. So, Fashion in Sikkim merits its own post. What makes it even more interesting is that we saw people of all age groups dressed in both traditional and modern clothes. There were people of all age groups wearing Kho (also known as "Bakhu" in Nepalese), skirts (both short and long), skinny jeans, trousers, Aladdin pants, salwar-chooridars, and even saris (mostly tourists I admit).
