peasant clothing

Simple rural attire

Peasant clothing refers to garments styled after traditional rural European dress—loose blouses with gathered necklines, full skirts, embroidered bodices, simple linen or cotton fabrics.

The term appears in fashion contexts where the aesthetic evokes rustic simplicity: She wore a peasant blouse with puffy sleeves.

The style suggests handmade, unpretentious clothing associated with agricultural life.
