      Recently my church had an event where we invite delegates from all over the world for a conference, in line with our heavy involvement in local and overseas missions. As part of the event, people are encouraged to dress up in their ethnic costumes, which looked really cool overall. That got me thinking, and I realised that I don't know much about various cultures' ethnic costumes beyond the Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Thai. And maybe a couple others peppered here and there. So rather than do a boring old Google trail, I decided it might be fun to make a thread for this.

      So! The purpose of this thread is to share your ethnic costume! It can be a picture of yourself or a Google picture or just a description of it and on what occasions you wear it, if any, or just anything related, really. Hopefully we'll get a nice variety of cultures and pretty clothes!

      Only one note: This thread is for the purposes of fun and education through sharing only. Don't insult anyone. Please and thank you!

        I really thought that this was gonna be a satirical offshoot of the Racism thread.

              Sure, or whatever you might wear on cultural occasions nowadays.

                More of a military uniform, but it's my favourite out of Hungary's traditional costumes.

                !
                With moustache of course. Hussars need moustache.

                    It's not an ethnic costume, it's a cliché costume >_>

                      Oooooh~ I like this! There were several types of traditional clothes all over the country… Each area had it's own actually

                      This was worn by higher class girls that lived around the bigger 'towns'

                      This by the lower classes gals

                      or click!

                      And there were more designs and colors but these are the most well-known ones for women :3

                        I can't really find many decent pics, but here's some stuff worn by the people of the tribe I'm a descendant of. (I'm mixed race, so there's several different things I could post.

                        ^They disguised themselves when hunting for food

                        Another neat outfit and period piece thing.

                        Only time wearing that sorta stuff came up for me was when I did a school thingy and then a funeral a few years ago. Can't seem to find any decent pics of the men's clothing.

                          This is pretty much what they were wearing

                          !
                          A bit of background information and a traditional dance (among many of course) which we still dance at every wedding or occasion

                            I think I would actually consider wearing this out.

                                Seeing that it is quite similar to what i have posted for the female garb, it is not that hard to get really, though i don´t know where you live of course

                                    Lots of different types according to region. Can see them being worn in the more rural areas still I believe.

                                          Zeybek is a specific kind of sub-culture in Turkey? From a little bit of looking up of it it sounded like they were more inland, maybe lots of stuff left over from the Byzantine days.

                                            Zeybek is a specific kind of sub-culture in Turkey? From a little bit of looking up of it it sounded like they were more inland, maybe lots of stuff left over from the Byzantine days.

                                            Yeah, it is definitely a specific sub-culture but the garbs are definitely influenced, like you said, by the Byzantine days but also by the Ottomans themselves who also reign over the territories that make up today´s Greece and Cyprus.

                                              There is a lot of general clothing similarties over the old Byzantine/Ottoman transcontinental zone. Albanians, Slavic Macedonians and Mainland Greeks have some clothing commonalties too I've seen.

                                              Not really sure the Ottomans would influence Greek Cypriot clothing that much though, or the other groups (except maybe Albanians). They had a very caste based Empire, Greeks (who stayed Greek anyway) wouldn't really have been dressing as the elite (Ottoman Turks) were.
                                              As for groups like the Zeybek, more continental Turks like that probably also wouldn't have dressed like the elites either. The rich urban political/military Turks didn't even see themselves as the same group as rural peasant/nomad Turks until like the late 1800's! They were "Ottomans" instead of Turks. Kind of strange.
                                              The Zeybek clothing is probably half leftover Byzantine Greek stuff and half stuff brought in by the Turkish invasions from pre-Ottoman times. I'm guessing.
                                              The clothing also seemed similar to what I've seen from Azeri's, and those guys don't have any Greek influence (if Turks are made up largely of former Anatolian Greeks, than Azeris are made up largely of former northwestern Persians, both mixed in with the Seljuq Turks of course).

                                                I guess you are right. To tell you the truth, i overlooked the caste system back then and pretty much assumed that Ottomans influenced the majority of their territories which would pretty much explain the similarities between so many different cultures but they can of course be influenced by a pre-Ottoman era

                                                      Lots of different types according to region. Can see them being worn in the more rural areas still I believe.

                                                                                                        Trinidad & Tobago's aborignals [Caribs and Arawaks] pretty much don't exist anymore in the country, so my country's main occupants are the descendants of slaves and merchants that were brought to the island centuries ago.
                                                                                                        So, it's a mix of Indian, african, and chinese. I've got blood relatives that are Chinese, weirdly enough.

                                                                                                        My family hails from the Indian people who came to the island, so I guess my Ethnic costumes would be traditional Indian wear, as my grandmother and great-grandmother wore.

                                                                                                        Soo the only other thing I can think of is Trindad's unique festival called Carnival - basically a week long party that happens every year.
                                                                                                        Scantily clad women dress up in a few handfuls of material called "costumes" to dance to soca music pumped on the streets. A lot of the time the dancing is quite vulgar and I'm not into it at all -_-

                                                                                                        Here's a [NSFW] google search, I don't wanna post pics.
