5. Develop imaginative thinking in oral work.
During the classes.
Stages:
I. Organizational moment.
II. Repetition of what was learned in the previous lesson.
In the previous lesson we talked about clothes. Remind me why a person needs clothes? (Its purpose: not only warms, protects, decorates a person, but also shows his place in society.)
The task is the game “Dress the doll.”
Choose ancient Greek and Roman clothes and dress a paper doll. ( Appendix 1 (pril1.zip))(Ancient Greece: chiton, himation. Ancient Rome: tunic, toga).
Why did the ancient Greeks wear such revealing clothing? (Because it is a warm, mild climate)
Could Roman clothing have been adopted in other countries? In Europe? (Europe has a harsh climate and such clothes would be cold and uncomfortable)
III. Announcing the topic and objectives of the lesson.
In Rus', the climate was also not hot - long winters and cool summers; another people lived with their own customs and traditions. Therefore, the clothing of the inhabitants of Ancient Rus' was completely different. And what she was like - we’ll talk about this in today’s lesson, its topic: “How they dressed in Rus'.” In this lesson we will learn how costumes have changed over the centuries. Let's see what role clothes played in the life of a Russian person.
IV. New material.
1. 1.“You meet people by their clothes...” This well-known saying came to us from the depths of centuries. A thousand years ago, it was enough for our ancestors to take one look at the clothes of a stranger to understand what area he was from, what clan-tribe he belonged to, whether he was married, whether he was married, rich or poor.
This made it possible to immediately decide how to behave with a stranger and what to expect from him.
2. And in ancient times Russians called clothes - “clothes”. And the main clothing was a Russian shirt. Ancestors believed that clothing is amulet. (the word “Amulet” is put on the board) amulet - means protects. What does it protect from? From bad weather, shelters from the “evil eye”, from the influence of evil forces. Therefore, all the vulnerable spots of the human body were hidden: Ancient shirts were necessarily long - below the knee, had an almost closed collar, and long sleeves up to the wrists.
Shirts were worn by everyone: girls and boys, boys and girls, men and women, rich and poor.
2. Men's clothing of the 10th century.
As the story progresses, the teacher hangs the drawings on the board in a certain order. (The design of the board is presented in Appendix 2).
<Рисунок 1>The peasant shirt was made from canvas. They wore it for graduation and girded it with a narrow belt or colored cord. It was both outer and underwear.
<Рисунок 2>Since the clothes were festive and everyday, they put them on a shirt on special occasions. beyond the arms(all underlined words should be placed on the board) and detachable round collars.
Picture 1
Figure 2
Noble people wore another, upper, richer shirt on top of the lower one. The ports or trousers were not wide, narrowed downward, and tied at the waist with a cord.
3. Women's clothing of peasants.
Women also wore a shirt, but it was long, reaching to the feet (like a dress) with long sleeves. The collar and bottom of the sleeves were decorated with embroidery. The shirt was made of white linen or colored silk and worn with a belt.
<Рисунок 3>They wore it over the shirt ponevu– a skirt consisting of 3 unstitched rectangular pieces of fabric fastened with a strap. Poneva - meant a piece of fabric, a veil. It was shorter than a shirt, and its flaps parted at the front. The fabric for the ponies was colorful, with a checkered pattern (from the checkered patterns one could guess the village where the woman came from).
What did the peasants do? They worked, and while working, you could turn up the corners of the blanket and tuck it into your belt so as not to interfere with your movements.
<Рисунок 4>outerwear was cuff - overlay clothing, unstitched at the sides. The zapona was shorter than a shirt. It was worn with a belt and pinned at the bottom.
Figure 3
Figure 4
- What kind of shoes did the peasants wear?
- What were bast shoes made from? (Birch bark, bast)
Birch bark is the top layer of bark stripped from a birch tree. It was divided into strips and woven into bast shoes. (Showing bast shoes: sandals from aspen are light, from birch - yellow) But they took not only birch bark, but also linden, aspen, and other trees. In different areas they wove in different ways (with and without a side).
Lapti were attached to the leg using long ties or ropes. They dressed not on their bare legs, but on onuchi– long pieces of fabric up to two meters.
Practical work: putting on boots and bast shoes on a student.
Story while dressing:
Onuchi were wrapped around the leg in a certain way, covering the bottom of the pants. Weaving bast shoes was considered an easy job that men did literally casually. But the bast shoes did not last long. In winter they wore out in 10 days, after a thaw - in 4, in the summer in the field - in 3 days. When preparing for a long journey, we took a lot of spare bast shoes with us on the road. There is a proverb: “To go on a journey means weaving five bast shoes.”
And merchants and noble people wore boots.
5. Clothes of noble people.
<Рисунок 5>Rich and noble women wore clothes called retinue It had wide sleeves. In cold weather they wore raincoats.
<Рисунок 6>Scientists learned from handwritten books about what clothes the prince wore (the prince is the ruler of the region, the leader of the army).
The prince wears a green retinue with golden sleeves. Blue cloak disgustingly with a golden border (only princes wore such a cloak) on a beautiful lining. On his head is a round hat with fur. On his feet are green boots made of very soft leather.
Figure 5
Figure 6
6. Let us repeat, what was common in the clothes of peasants and rich, noble people? (Everyone wore shirts)
There were casual and festive shirts.
Everyday shirts were almost not decorated - only the seams and edges were trimmed with red thread to block the path of evil forces.
For weddings, religious and labor holidays, our ancestors wore shirts richly decorated with embroidery. And since it was believed that on holidays a person talks with God, then the shirt also seemed to participate in this “conversation”, with its tongue ornament- repeating pattern - all the requests and desires of a person were recorded. Women carefully covered their collars, cuffs, shirt hem and sleeves near the shoulders with patterns.
Reading the table. (A table of symbols is posted on the board)
For security purposes they wore amulets (figurines) on a cord or on a belt. The horse is a symbol of goodness and happiness, the wisdom of the gods. Spoon - satiety and well-being. The key was to help preserve and increase wealth. And amulets in the form of weapons were purely masculine.
Creative task - each student is given paper templates in the form of a shirt and red pencils.
Explanation of the task: let’s imagine ourselves as craftswomen of that time and “embroider” a design on shirts, write down our requests with symbols. Think about what kind of shirt you will have: everyday or festive.
(After completing the task, several students show their work in front of the class and decipher the symbols).
7. XV – XVII centuries.
Now let's look at the XV-XVII centuries. and find out how the people of Moscow Rus' dressed.
Men's clothing.
<Рисунок 7>men began to wear kaftans. They were very different. Some are short, others are long, made of patterned expensive fabrics. Some were trimmed with buttonholes and sewn on metal and wooden buttons. On others, the collar and bottom of the sleeves were beautifully embroidered in gold and silver.
<Рисунок 8>The original Russian clothing was the fur coat. It was rewarded for good service as a valuable gift.
The top of the fur coats was covered with fabric, and the lining was sable, fox, and arctic fox fur. The fur coat was fastened with cords.
In Rus', winter was cold and everyone wore a fur coat. And some boyars and nobles wore fur coats in the summer and did not take them off even indoors, as a sign of their dignity.
Figure 7
Figure 8
8. Women's clothing.
<Рисунок 9>Rich women wore letnik- clothes widened downward. A special feature of the letnik were wide bell-shaped sleeves, sewn only to the elbow, then they hang freely to the waist. At the bottom they were embroidered with gold, pearls, and silk.
<Рисунок 10>look at the picture and tell me what this clothing is called? (Sundress).
Figure 9
Figure 10
A sundress is a sleeveless dress worn over a long-sleeved shirt.
Whose clothes do you think the sundress was, peasant women or rich women?
The fact is that the sundress, as scientists studying the history of the costume suggest, was first the clothing of women from the royal family and noble noblewomen. Only they were allowed to wear these outfits made of expensive overseas fabrics - silk and velvet. Sundresses were richly decorated with embroidery and precious stones.
A Russian folk melody is played. A woman in Russian costume enters the class.
“But she herself is majestic, she performs like a peahen.” And indeed, a woman in a sundress does not walk, but “performs,” majestically and smoothly.
Physical exercise. Game-round dance with words:
“Like in our lesson, Red Russian sundress
This is the width, This is the width,
Such beauty. Sing along quickly:
Sundress, sundress, red Russian sundress!”
A woman in a suit puts on a soul warmer. - They wore it over a sundress warmer- (warms the soul) short, wide clothes.
9. Hats. Pay attention to the headdress of our Russian beauty. It's called kokoshnik- This is the dress of a married woman. This was the most elegant headdress; it was embroidered with pearls. <Рисунок 11>
Figure 11
During the cold season, women of all ages covered their heads with a warm scarf. Only it was tied not under the chin, as we are used to, but in other ways.
Practical work. Before the class, scarves are tied to six students, each in a special way. Example
What hairstyles were worn in Ancient Rus'?
Young girls wore their hair loose. But it’s not convenient to work, do laundry, or cook with their hair down, so they tied it with a headband (show). They also braided their hair into a braid - always one - as a sign that she was single for now). Only married women were allowed to weave two braids. They were wrapped around the head.
A girl's braid was considered a symbol of honor. Pulling the braid meant insulting.
10. XVII-1st century Let's travel to the 18th century.
In Russia, when Peter I became Tsar, a lot changed in the state, and clothes also changed.
Peter forbade the boyars and all rich people to wear the old Russian suit and instead ordered men to wear a short, close-fitting caftan and camisole, long stockings and buckled shoes, a white wig or powdered hair and shaved beards.
<Рисунок 12>look at this and the previous costume of the boyars. They are completely different.
Imagine, now our president issues a decree that all men and boys wear skirts and dresses. And he ordered the girls to shave their heads. Would you like it? Even at that time, many did not like Peter’s decree.
<Рисунок 13>The women's costume was distinguished by its pomp and richness. Women wore dresses with a deep collar, such a collar was called - neckline. The dresses were fitted with a wide skirt. They wore corsages to look slimmer.
A wig and high heels were required. People surrounding the king had to wear such clothes, and those who did not want to obey state decrees were forced by force and fined.
Everyone else was allowed to wear old boyar clothes, including a sundress. This is how the sundress became the favorite women's outfit of the common people. (The sundress pattern is rehanged)

V. Checking the assimilation of new material.
During the lesson, we looked at how the Russian costume changed over time.
Questions for children:
1. What was the purpose of clothing in Ancient Rus'?
- Kept from the cold
- Amulet - protected from dark forces
- Decorated a person
- Showed his place in society.
2. All the details of the Russian costume are “speaking”. What can they tell you?
- Rich or poor man
- Distinguish a girl from a married woman
- Festive clothes or everyday clothes
Task 1: based on the illustration, try to determine who is in front of you. <Рисунок 14,15,16,17>
Task 2: from the illustrations on the board, choose the costume that you liked more than others and name all the details of this costume.
Like everything else in the world, “talking” clothes are born and die. And now we wear completely different clothes from what we wore before. But in our time we can see people dressed in Russian folk costume. Where can we do this? (At national holidays, at concerts, in cinemas).
Some elements of Russian folk costume are used in modern clothing. (In the summer we wear sundresses, scarves, shawls, mittens, embroidery, etc.)

Russian national dresses are a combination of rich colors and a large number of details that create a complete image. Several centuries ago, just by one suit one could understand from which province or village its wearer came. In addition, Russian craftswomen created festive outfits that were different from each other for each special event. You will learn about the history of the national costume and the details that create it in this article.
Features of the national costume
Russian traditional outfits have always been divided into everyday and festive. Our ancestors very clearly distinguished simpler clothes made from coarse fabrics with a minimum amount of decorative elements from more colorful outfits for special events. Red clothing was considered the most luxurious.
Initially, in Rus', all costumes were created by skilled women's hands from dense homespun materials. This also made the outfits more special. The main materials for sewing dresses were cloth, linen and silk. The role of the lining was played by kindyak, a special lining fabric.
The fabric base was complemented by a large number of details, as well as accessories and shoes, which together made up a harmonious image.
These images differed significantly depending on the regions. So, for example, people from the northern regions of Russia wore more outerwear. It was both swing and cape, and in some cases these two types of outfits were combined. The cover-up garment was put on over the head, while the swing-up garment was fastened with buttons or hook-shaped fasteners.
Clothing for the nobility also deserves special attention. It was, of course, more expensive and luxurious. Dresses for the nobility were embroidered with gold or silver threads, decorated with pearls and other decorative elements. Such an expensive outfit was worn for more than one year. As a rule, it was passed down from generation to generation, preserved in its proper form.
History of Russian costume
During its existence, the national Russian costume has remained virtually unchanged. The concept of fashion was less changeable than it is now; the same style could be worn by several generations of the same family.
Dresses in the traditional Russian style became less common at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Then the ancient Russian costume was banned by Peter the Great, who wanted to make Russia more modern. The national attire was replaced by costumes in the Hungarian style, and later in German and French. In order for the innovations to take root, the ruler introduced a duty on wearing traditional Russian outfits in the city.
Female
Outfits for women have always been more interesting and varied than men's. They were real examples of the art of talented Russian women. Since the times of Ancient Rus', a woman's costume consisted of a sorochnitsa (a simple floor-length shirt), a sundress and an apron. Often, for additional warmth, another thick shirt was worn under the shirt.
Embroidery has always been an integral part of any traditional outfit. In each province it differed in colors and patterns. The hem and sleeves were decorated with embroidery.
The dresses worn by women in Rus' are noteworthy. During the time of Ivan the Terrible, girls who dressed up in just one dress were considered obscene. It was customary to wear three dresses one on top of the other. This suit turned out to be very heavy and massive.
Male
For men from the common class, suits were made that were practical and comfortable. Russian culture has always been inseparable from nature and the earth. This was reflected in simple peasant clothes, which were sewn from natural fabrics and decorated with plant patterns.
A man's suit consisted of a simple shirt, pants and a belt. The head was covered with felted wool. The most common shoes were bast shoes. Light and comfortable, they protected the legs well while working in the field, but were not suitable for winter. With the advent of cold weather, the traditional Russian costume was supplemented with felt boots, and on holidays - with leather boots.
For children
Children in Ancient Rus' wore simpler clothes. As a rule, these were simple loose shirts. For the children of the nobility, more sophisticated outfits were created. Sometimes they almost completely copied an adult costume. But young girls, unlike adult women, did not wear headdresses until marriage.
Features and meaning of parts
As already mentioned, details in the Russian national costume played a very important role.
Men's suit details
The basis of the national men's costume was a simple shirt. In the outfits of simple peasants, it was the basis of the costume, while the nobility wore it as underwear. It was made of linen or silk. From the inside, the front and back parts of the shirt were supplemented with a lining, which was called the underlining. The wide sleeves of the shirt tapered towards the wrists.
The appearance of the gate varied. It could be rounded, square or completely absent. If there was a collar, it was complemented with ties or buttons.
The costume was also complemented with such details as zipun, opashen and okhaben. All these things are varieties of caftans. A scroll, casing or homespun was worn over the shirt and caftan. For more formal occasions, a ceremonial cloak (korzno) or single-row coat made of woolen fabric was used.
Fur coats were also popular. Peasants wore simpler items made of thick sheepskin or hare fur. Representatives of the upper class allowed themselves to flaunt in outfits made of silver fox, sable or marten.
In order to keep warm inside, fur coats were sewn with the fur inside. On the outside they were covered with thick cloth. Dresses for the nobility were embroidered with brocade or velvet. The wide fur collar added luxury to the fur coat.
Traditional Russian-style fur coats were floor-length. The sleeves were also very long, and the arms were threaded not only through them, but also into special slits located in the front. They were worn not only in winter, but also in summer, to create a formal look.
Another important detail of a Russian men's costume is a headdress in the national style. There were several types of hats: tafya, klobuk, murmolka and three-hat.
Tafya was a small round hat that fit tightly to the head. A simple hat was often worn over it. Ordinary people chose felt options, richer people chose velvet ones.
Murmolki were hats that were tall and widening towards the top. Gorlat hats were created using a similar principle. Only they were additionally decorated with furs coming from the very throat. Fox, sable or hare fur both decorated the hat and warmed the head.
Details of a woman's costume
The basis of the women's national costume was also a shirt. It was decorated with embroidery or exquisite trim. Noble Russian ladies also wore a maid's shirt made of bright silk over a simple undershirt. The most elegant option is a scarlet maid shirt.
Women wore a summer jacket over their shirts. The ancient floor-length outfit was made of silk and complemented with clasps at the very throat. Noble women wore a flyer decorated with gold embroidery or pearls, and a necklace adorned their collar.
A warmer alternative to the letnik in the national women's costume was the fur coat. A long fur coat decorated with fur with decorative sleeves was a sign of luxury, since it was not particularly practical. The arms were either threaded into special slots under the sleeves, or into the sleeves themselves, which were rolled up for convenience. You could warm your palms in a muff, which was not only decorated with a fur trim, but also stitched with fur from the inside.
Such a detail of the costume as the headdress also played an important role. All married women in Rus' always covered their hair, even while at home. In everyday life, the head was covered with a volosnik or a warrior, tying an elegant colorful scarf on top.
The corollas (wide headbands complemented by long colorful ribbons), which were worn in the summer, looked more elegant. In winter they were replaced by fur hats. But the traditional Russian costume is still often associated with the kokoshnik - an elegant headdress in the form of a fan. Whenever possible, it was richly decorated and became the main addition to the outfit.
National motifs in modern fashion or ethnic style
Although the traditional costume is now only part of the rich Russian history, many designers use its details to create modern outfits. Ethnic style is now in trend, so every fashionista should pay attention to such clothes.
Dresses in the Russian style should be restrained, because vulgarity, short skirts and too deep a neckline are simply inappropriate here. One of the main values of our ancestors was chastity. Girls were expected to dress modestly and discreetly, without flaunting their bodies. Modern outfits in Russian ethnic style are created according to the same principle.
The national costume is an important part of the country, telling about its history, culture, traditions and way of life of the local people. We may know something superficial about this or that part of the world, but when it comes to unfamiliar countries, for example, about Japan, we immediately think of a kimono or a tartan kilt if we are talking about Scotland.
In some countries, part of the national clothing has become an anachronism: in Russia you can only see a costume in a museum or at a performance of a folk ensemble. And in India it is part of everyday life: women learn to wear a sari from an early age.
In this article we will tell you about the most colorful and interesting national clothes.
National costumes of Japan
The kimono is sewn according to one pattern, not related to someone’s specific figure and its characteristics. Only the length varies. The silhouette only emphasizes the waist and shoulders. They are accompanied by zori slippers, similar to modern flip-flops on a small platform.
True, they are made of wood, which greatly deforms the foot in the future (they are still worn during vacation or in the summer when there is no rain).
In the thousands of street crowds in Tokyo, you can still find women dressed in kimonos. Although the Japanese have recently complained that the national costume is gradually fading into oblivion. But just because such clothes hinder movement, you won’t be able to rush in them.
If you are lucky enough to travel to Japan, you will be amazed at how dedicated the people are to their country's clothing.
Even after World War II and the American occupation, there was an inexplicable revival of the national costume.
National clothes in Scotland
This is the first country with which we associate the phrase “national costume”. Scottish check (tartan) is not just a check. The width of the intersecting stripes and their color will tell about a certain clan inhabiting a particular area. Following this tradition is important to the Scottish people.
Men's kilts and women's skirts are made of tartan in a specific color, corresponding to their clan.
Nowadays in Scotland you rarely see anyone in national costume, often it is a matter of special occasions: national holidays, festivals, weddings, football matches, meetings of the Scottish diaspora in other countries and so on.
National costumes of Bhutan
Bhutan is the only country in the world where the local population is required to wear national dress. National dress code (Driglam Namzha) Everyone wears it; without it they will not be allowed into any government agency. or other decent place, this is a violation of public etiquette. This, of course, does not apply to tourists.
The national costume is a belted robe - gho. Additionally, a special scarf is worn with it. For commoners it is white, for the king it is yellow. Some people take off the top of their robe when it’s hot outside or pull up their trousers or sports tights when it’s cold. In general, local residents are happy with this.
After all, in Bhutan, instead of GDP, there is a happiness index.
Clothing in India
This is a multinational country. After all, 447 languages and 2,000 thousand dialects are spoken here. Therefore, the national costume and its features vary from state to state. Even the influence of the European mass market, its cheapness and practicality could not reduce the popularity of saris, Patialas, dhoti and sherwanis.
A sari is a wide strip of fabric (usually 5-10 meters), which is draped around a woman’s body in a special way. As a rule, the fabric is wrapped several times around the waist, and the remaining “tail” is thrown over the shoulder, exposing the stomach.
Special detailed diagrams are sold for tourists on how to properly “wind a sari.” True, such a suit doesn’t really look like a foreigner; it’s only suitable for photo shoots.
Indian girls learn the art of gracefully wearing this national pride from the age of 10-12.
Salwar kameez is another popular attire among Indian women. The fashion for it originated in Afghanistan and eventually migrated to India. This beautiful, practical outfit is still popular today, simplifying its appearance a little. Salwar is silk trousers, kameez is a tunic reaching to the middle of the thigh.
Men from the working castes wear the dhoti, an elaborately draped loincloth. Richer gentlemen prefer a sherwani (a long, embroidered frock coat) combined with bloomers and a turban (this headdress is especially popular among those who profess Sikhism).
What to wear in Peru
The poncho is the basis of the Peruvian national costume. It is comfortable and simple, keeps the body warm for a long time. Made from alpaca yarn. Such clothes turn out to be very light, warm and amazingly wearable. The pattern on a poncho is not just a decoration, but a special sign, which will tell you which village or community the Peruvian belongs to. The edges of the poncho are decorated with fringe. It was from Peru that the poncho migrated to American and European mass-market stores, although such a factory item has greatly lost its functionality.
A woman's image is unthinkable without a funny hat with concave brims - liklya.
Bolivian national costumes
In this South American country, more than half of the population wears national clothes. The initiator of the revival of the traditional costume was the current President Evo Morales. He is of Aymara Indian origin.
The obligatory elements of an Aymara woman's costume are a multi-layered skirt, a white blouse, a massive shawl and a bowler hat (similar to what was worn by English gentlemen at the beginning of the last century). Despite its apparent simplicity, the cost of one set can reach several thousand dollars.
The story of how the bowler hat became a must-have for women deserves an entire book. But in short, in the early 20s of the last century, an enterprising merchant brought a large batch of men's bowlers. But the product was not in market demand. In order to somehow get rid of the party at least to zero, the businessman inspired the local women that hats bring fertility. Such advertising became effective, and since then the hat has become the basis of the costume. The look is complemented by gold and silver jewelry, massive beaded brooches and earrings.
A couple of days ago Alena Belova wrote to me asking me to show how to draw a folk costume with a pencil. I have already done a lot of drawing lessons on different clothes. You will see links to them below, under this lesson. And for this I selected a picture depicting women’s festive clothing from the Tver province of the 19th century: On the left is a sundress, a shirt and a belt. On the right is a girl's festive shirt with a belt. If you were asked this topic in history or art class, you can use this lesson:
How to draw a Russian folk costume with a pencil step by step
Step one. I sketch the main parts of the costumes. This is no different from a sketch of a person, only without the head and legs. It is also important to maintain proportions here. 
Step two. Draw the shape of the dresses. Folk costumes (at least ours) were not open, so here almost the entire body is hidden. 
Step three. A very important point is the folds. Without them, the drawing will look like a paper dress. Try to show all possible curves and shadows from them on the dress. 
Step four. Another distinctive feature of folk costume is the abundance of patterns. This is not just some kind of invention from Armani or Gucci. Each pattern means something. It’s difficult to draw them, but if you don’t do this, it will be difficult for the viewer to determine: is this a dress of some young lady or a folk costume? And so, by looking just for a second, anyone can determine without error. 
Step five. If you add shading, the drawing will become more realistic. 
I already wrote above that I have a lot of drawing lessons here. You can take any theme that has clothes in it and copy it. But I have selected the best thematic lessons from this and am giving them to you.
I have always been interested in different costumes from different countries and eras. In my opinion, you can understand a lot about a country and time through costumes. At all times, women loved to decorate themselves and did it in every possible way. And of course, clothing played a huge role in any society. I would like to introduce you to costumes from different countries of the world... Azerbaijan Simplicity of cut and richness of decoration - that’s the whole philosophy of oriental costume. This is exactly how Azerbaijanis, descendants of ancient Turkic tribes, representatives of one of the largest and most ancient peoples of the Caucasus, traditionally dressed. 
England Although England is a country with rich national traditions, it does not, strictly speaking, have a clearly defined national costume. As an example of English folk costume, the costumes of dancers performing the Morris dance are often cited. 
Argentina There is no national costume in Argentina as such. Argentina is a country of immigrants from Italy, Spain, Germany, Ukraine, etc., who preserve their traditions. Only the clothes of gaucho shepherds and their wives can be considered the national clothing of this South American country. 
Belarus The Belarusian costume, having common roots with Ukrainian and Russian national costumes and formed on the basis of the mutual influence of Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian traditions, is nevertheless distinguished by its originality and is an independent phenomenon. Bulgaria Bulgarian folk costume is very diverse both in the styles of clothes and in its colors. Its form known to us today was formed in the feudal period and developed in subsequent centuries. Butane In Bhutan, men's suits are called gho and women's kira. 
Hawaii One of the most popular and simple Hawaiian costumes 
Germany The traditional costume of the Bavarians (Germans) is the well-known trachten (German Trachten) - both men's and women's suits and the dirndl (German Dirndl) - only the women's national costume. The name Trachten comes from the era of romanticism, it was at that time that people started talking about national traditions, about how people lived, spoke, sang, celebrated and dressed, and what was considered the basis of the culture of the nation. 
Greece
Georgia In Georgian trad. There were clothes both for luxury and refinement, for the nobility, and simpler ones, for artisans and poorer people; there was both the strict elegance of masculinity and the gentle grace of femininity; it clearly highlighted the character of a person, his occupation, and habits. 
Egypt In Ancient Egypt, the most common type of clothing was draped clothing, later - overhead, but never swinging. The cut and shape of clothing (both men's and women's) changed very slowly over the centuries; For a long time, clothing of different classes differed only in the quality of fabric and finishing. 
India Indian clothing for women depends on the region of the country. Traditional Indian clothing, without which it is impossible to imagine an Indian woman, is called a sari. Sarees are the national Indian clothing; they differ in appearance, materials, and embroidery in different regions. 
Spain Spanish folk costume, in the form that it has become a fact of visual culture, developed in the 18th-19th centuries. Its formation was facilitated by the culture of the majo - a social layer of Spanish dandies from the common people who emphasized their origin. 
Kazakhstan Previously, there was a deliberate destruction of traditions throughout the 20th century. During the seventy-year Soviet period, Kazakhstan fought against traditions as “relics of the past.” But today Kazakhstan is confidently taking the path of reviving its culture. 
China Chinese national costume features a lot of red and golden yellow, which are traditionally considered the colors of wealth and prosperity. 
Norway The design of the Norwegian national costume is based on local folk costumes that were on the verge of extinction. UAE - United Arab Emirates The clothing of Bedouin women in ancient times was quite consistent with men's clothing. 
Portugal Portuguese clothing is dominated by red and black colors, men wear vests with sashes, and women wear wide skirts with aprons. Russia A distinctive feature of the Russian national costume is a large amount of outerwear. Cover-up and swing-out clothing. The cover-up garment was put on over the head, the swinging one had a slit from top to bottom and was fastened end-to-end with hooks or buttons.
