One reason might be religion.In many Moslem countries,women must wear veils to hide their faces.The veil must be worn in public.Veils are part ofthe Moslem religion．
The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries.For instance,in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton(棉),silk,wool,or many other man-madematerials.Most people in China wear cotton．
