Clothing Of Switzerland

Swiss traditional attire is adaptable and might alter significantly or very slightly from canton to canton. The term "national costume" actually refers to the traditional costumes worn by peasants, who donned clothing that was distinctive to the surroundings of the area. However, the attire of the Swiss nobility did not considerably differ from that of the nobility of the surrounding countries.

In the majority of the nation, Swiss men have traditionally dressed simply and ordinarily. Men who live in hilly areas choose leather shorts since they make mobility easier while trekking, climbing, hunting, etc. In the lowland regions, men dress in shirts with long sleeved jackets, breeches or pants with woolen tights or stockings, and a hat.

Swiss ladies typically wear bright skirts with puffed sleeves, which are quite feminine. Complementing the outfit are ornate headpieces, laced aprons, bonnets, and embroidered bags. Another look combines a corset with an apron and a full-length skirt. Such outfits are accompanied with colorful, chic jewelry.
