ethnic wear
Heritage-inspired clothing styles
Ethnic wear refers to traditional clothing associated with a particular culture or region, especially garments worn for cultural celebrations, religious ceremonies, or formal occasions.
The term appears most often in fashion retail contexts, particularly for South Asian clothing like saris, kurtas, and lehengas: She picked out ethnic wear for the wedding.
The phrase implies clothing that marks cultural identity rather than everyday Western dress.
