From the Indian sari to the Vietnamese conical hat, the world is full of different varieties of traditional dress. Some colourful, some immersed in history and specific to the country's culture and others due to circumstance or status - they are almost always eye-catching. Learning about them gains you an insight into the country they're part of, so we've rounded up a few items to give you a lowdown on traditional dress around the world.

The Sari, India

Ostensibly the simplest item of clothing possible – a single length of fabric, up to nine metres long – the sari is also one of the world’s most versatile and stylish garments, which can be draped in dozens of different ways. The sari spans all of Indian society, from simple cotton versions that are woven in the street throughout the villages of India to extremely glamorous contemporary styles that grace the catwalk during India Fashion Week.

ilts, Scotland

From Braveheart to Strictly Come Dancing, the kilt has been used to represent all things Scottish, anachronistically so in the case of Mel Gibson’s costume as William Wallace. However, visit any Scottish Highland Games, and you’ll see that kilt-wearing traditions are alive and well, from the immaculately dressed competitive dancers to the pipe players in formal attire and, most impressively of all, the participants in the "heavy events" – for you cannot toss a caber properly unless wearing a kilt.

Tracht, Southern Germany and Austria

Tracht – that’s lederhosen for men and dirndls for women – is the traditional dress across southern Germany and Austria. There are many variations on the basic styles depending on the area and on fashion, from the pom-pom hats of the Black Forest (bollenhut) to thoroughly modern versions: there’s nothing quite like a tight pair of leather shorts worn at a Pride festival to put a contemporary twist on those Bavarian lederhosen.
