Man's Hungarian Costume - Men's Folk Dress Coat

The basic garment of the woman's costume is a blouse. As currently worn, the cut is quite modern, with short set in sleeves and an opening in the back. There is a small amount of embroidery on the front under the neck opening, and also on the sleeves. the sleeve ends are generally scalloped, with openwork. (Kubilius)

Men's folk dress in Hungary consists of boots, pants, and a shirt that can be accompanied by a vest or a coat. This traditional folk dancer wears a heavily embroidered long coat and a hat.(Kubilius K. )

Men's and women's Lithuanian folk costumes use a variety of colors, designs, textures, and patterns. Aprons embroidered with geometric designs cover long plaid skirts. Hats trimmed with ribbon and vests are also typical elements to Lithuanian traditional costumes. The men's clothing, while understated, is decorated with woven sashes and boots.
