Traditional dress around the world

Traditional clothing is an important part of a region’s

history and identity. Some areas regard their

national dress as an unofficial uniform, to be worn

only on ceremonial occasions. In other societies,

traditional clothing is mandatory for both men and

women.

The team at Escapade have been busy researching

traditional clothing from across the globe. From the

Russian Sarafan to the Japanese Kimono, take a look

at their guide to the world’s most iconic folk costumes.
