Let’s share ‘Traditional Dress’ of our country or where currently we are living
I like in Kingdom of Bahrain where the typical Bahraini woman dresses conservatively, uasually the daffah (عباية), a long loose-fitting black gown, is worn. However, there is no formal dress code in Bahrain, and foreigners as well as local women are seen wearing modern (but modest) outfits as well.
Bahraini men usually wear the Thobe (ثوب) and the traditional headdress which includes the Keffiyeh, Ghutra and Agal.
The Thobe, or ‘Dishdasha’ is a loose, long-sleeved, ankle-length garment. Summer Thobes are white and made of cotton and winter Thobes can be darker and made of wool.
The Ghutra is a square scarf, made of cotton, and is folded in a triangle and worn over the Keffiyeh. In Bahrain, it is usually red and white checked or all white. There is no significance placed on which kind the man wears. The Keffiyeh is a white knitted skull cap worn under the Ghutra.
The Agal is a thick, double, black cord that is worn on the top of the Ghutra to hold it in place.
In some occasions, Bahrainis wear a Bisht, which is a cloak made of wool, over the thobe. Unlike the thobe, the Bisht is soft, and it is usually black, brown, or grey.

In the UK the traditional dress was a Suit for gentleman and a dress for the ladies.
The iconic british traditional dress though is arguable... these days most countries ascociate Brits with either rowdy drunken younger individuals causing havock especailly at football games.
Or perhaps that smarmy over the top British ignorant attitude that was so mocked in the days of Colonial era.

Shure I wear it in public sometimes… But at work they would be shocked out of thier heads if an I came in to work in long clothes. Maybe I will do it anyway…
