Does not have to be out of these, can be from any country.
Which country has the best traditional clothing?
Does not have to be out of these, can be from any country.
Well, we have some quite nice ones in the nordic region.
Google "budnad" for the Norwegian one.
Google "samekofte" for the one belonging to the native population in northern Norway, the Sami people (the people in the region named "Lappland" in English, although I should add that the word "Lapp" is considered offensive these days)
Google "Þjóðbúningurinn" for the Icelandic one.
Google "føroyski búnin" for the Faeroese one.
Google "Folkedragt" for the Danish one.
You can find the Swedish one by searching for "folkdräkt" that said they seem to have a distinction between their *national* costume (defined by the state, aka the king, and their *folk* costume (defined by the traditions of the people actually wearing the clothing in question).
"Nationella dräkten" is Swedish for the "national costume", a google result for that will both show the Swedish national costume first followed by a few false positives from among other things Ukraine...
Search for "kansallispuku" for the various ones in Finland.
Google "Rahvariided" for the Estonian one.
For Åland search for "folkdräkt Åland"
Regarding Greenland, I kind of struggled with finding the correct word to search for since I don't speak the language...
But I came up with these:
"Arnatuut", "Tunumiit"
And the websites:
greenlandtoday.com/national-clothing/?lang=en
preciosa-ornela.com/.../356-national-costumes-of-greenland
visitgreenland.com/.../
And just searching "greenland national costume -pinterest"
I kind of found some information and pictures that way.
But man, Greenland was harder the Estonia, Finland and Sweden.
Anyway, I hope you all find it interesting to see those traditional costumes from the region. =)
Very interesting
Faroe Islands have beautiful traditional clothing. And they still wear it on a regular basis unlike a lot of countries and their traditional garb.
I have distant relatives that are from there.
Girls are really pretty
I find Moroccan caftans amazing, and North African traditional clothes very colourfoul and dynamic.

Always been big fan of Indian and West African clothing.
Eastern European styles are kind of cool too.
I find so beautiful and love Japanese traditional clothes. Of those photos I like more the Indian ones.
I also like the Spanish dress as I'm Spanish myself, although there are many other Spanish traditional clothes not that famous abroad that are interesting too. In general traditional clothes are very interesting and beautiful!
Native America
Welsh because we look like witches
They're certainly interesting. =)
I also like the male one in a picture on this site:

I don’t like any traditional clothes in my opinion.
Why not?
Ehh... they just seem very impractical compare to modern day mass produced clothings. I mean honestly, who needs all of that extra stuff when you could get a black shirt and sweatpants.
Yes but some traditional clothes are so beautiful and intricate, don't you think?
Ehhh... not really.
Indian traditionals may look good but its hard to wear and manage it throughout a day. Im from India but I dont like that kind of dress on women.
I've always been partial to the central and Eastern European countries in this regard.
Indian traditional clothes is very colorful but there is so much of those from around the world, can't pick just one country, definitely
Yeah, I know that feeling.
Just look at the nordic region alone, there's a ton of them here.
I've shared links and search words to use to find them in my reply above if you don't know what to look for.
And someone else here shared pictures of some African ones (Niger I think?) that looked amazing too. =)
I think the Chinese, their traditional dresses are simply lovely.
In my opinion, basically any Asian country.
My favorites are China, India and Thailand
You forgot the Norwegians.
It has to be India because there are more than 50000 different styles here
Eastern european countries, i have seen some siberean tribes outfits they were cool
Spanish out of those three. But India is a very close second. I also like German and a few others
I like African clothing their culture is amazing.
Britain. Most of the word wears our traditional clothes
@Losalt If you step out in a suit and tie you are wearing traditional English clothing.
Every country has different tradition so they have different dress. All looking beautiful but first picture is more colourful.
Indonesia - especially Sulawesi, Bali and Sumatra. Also Native Americans.
Definitely India. Soooo beautiful!!!
India... India... India...
