national costumes
Heritage dress traditions
National costumes are traditional clothing styles associated with particular countries or ethnic groups, typically worn for cultural celebrations, folk performances, or formal state occasions rather than everyday dress.
Examples include the Japanese kimono, Scottish kilt, or Indian sari.
The term often implies an idealized or standardized version of regional dress: The dancers wore national costumes representing their homelands.
