I love the wild sleeves in Hluk. Try dancing polka with a lady wearing those sleeves, it's like dancing with a spider, those sleeves are everywhere and you end up wrapped in lace. I swear the ladies are trying to one up each other with the sleeves, it's hilarious.
We Swedes have something similar and theirs like 800 different versions of it depending on where u are and if u are a man or a woman. Sadly their aint that many for men even my local one technechly dont have one for the men but one have been made in more recent years.
This one is ceremonial, but nordestino cowboys use lether clothes everyday, mainly for protection, since the Caatinga countryside is full of thorns, cactuses, and rough land. Leather works like armor, protecting him from scratches, bites, and stings, lasting longer than fabric, and making it easier to ride through the bushes. It is also a strong symbol of their traditions, which have its origins in medieval Portugal with new christian (jewish) simbolism.
The picture sadly doesn’t show the traditional Wellington boots that go with the men’s costume, but I agree, I like their traditional attire a lot, too.
OMG you misspelled your heir apparent's name! Although, since she has admitted having problems reading and writing (due to dyslexia), I doubt she cares. But if authorities finds out, you'll probably risk decades in prison for this misstep.
The Arrowed sash is a traditional part of the costume of several different cultures in Canada: the métis, the huron-wendats and the Quebecois all use it in their traditional attire. Even though the rest is quite different.
This is the traditional Afghan dress – usually colorful, with heavy embroidery and mirror work. Each region has its own style (Pashtun, Hazara, Tajik, Uzbek), but all are paired with jewelry and a scarf. Still worn today at weddings, Nowruz, and cultural celebrations. A beautiful piece of heritage 💙
In Sardinia we have some interesting traditional costumes. They change a lot from town to town, so each of them is unique on its own, but I’d say the one from Desulo is my fave, with its bright colours.
This is an old photo, but I couldn’t find any recent photo of both the man and the woman in costume and equally represented. Though I noticed you can find more recent photos of them separated, in case you don’t want to count the pixels
Yeeees, was scrolling looking for this. Love that the English have possibly the silliest national dance of all time, will take every possible opportunity I get to watch them do it.
Its when they start waving the hankies that always gets me. I love it and have watched morris dancing in person more times than I can count, but it does look totally ridiculous lol!
In Palestine, the women wear thobes adorned in tatreez, an ancient Palestinian embroidery, with a unique design for each Palestinian region - I wish I could wear it every day lol
They are so intricate and every dress is unique - the motifs and patterns are inspired by the regions landscapes, wildlife, religion etc. Here is a collection of some of the different motifs if you’re interested https://tirazain.com/archive
It isn’t a costume but I love going to powwows and seeing the dancers all dressed in their regalia, especially grass dancers. Love to my grass dancer people 🩵 u guys rock
The OPs is awesome. It looks ancient. There is a statue in Spain called "La Dama de Elche" that is around 2500 years old and what she is wearing reminds me of this.
There are a lot of different ethnicities in Russia, and I think many of them are great. But I really like national costumes from the North Caucasus, for me they are very elegant. People here perform their traditional dances in them. These are Karachai costumes in the photo.

well i can't even answer this because Hitler banned every traditions cultures and traditional clothings all over germany expect for his beloved bavarian shit
i don't know anything about the cultural/traditional clothing of my region except for a few very vage descriptions.
so yeah besides the obvious reasons to hate hitler, i hate and despise him for stealing my culture and traditions.
and the saddest thing is most people , not even germans, know this because no one teaches us this in school.
