ethnic clothing
Heritage-based attire worn
Ethnic clothing refers to garments associated with a particular cultural, national, or regional group—traditional dress that signals heritage or identity.
The term often appears in fashion contexts for items like saris, dashikis, or embroidered blouses: The shop specializes in ethnic clothing from around the world.
When used by Westerners, the label typically excludes Western dress, implying that some clothing is "ethnic" while Western clothing is neutral—a framing critics note as Eurocentric.
