Albania’s recorded history of clothing goes back to classical times.[1] It is one of the factors that has differentiated this nation from other European countries, dating back to the Illyrian period.Almost every cultural and geographical region in the country has its own specific variety of costume that varies in detail, material, color, shape, and form. Albanian folk dress is often decorated with symbolic elements of Illyrian antique pagan origin, like suns, eagles, moons, stars, and snakes.[2] Fabrics are traditionally made by weaving clothes using looms. To this day, some conservative old men and women mainly from the North wear traditional clothing in their daily lives. Instead, older women from the South usually wear all-black outfits.Albanian dress consists of the followingTable of ContentsHeadgear[edit]Men[edit]Women[edit]Pants and upper body covers[edit]Xhamadan[edit]Brez[edit]\u00c7orape[edit]Opinga[edit]Gallery[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]Headgear[edit]Men[edit]The following headdresses are in use for men:Qeleshe [c\u025b\u02c8l\u025b\u0283\u025b] or plis: a type of hat worn by men in Albania, Kosovo, and the Albanian-speaking parts of Greece and North Macedonia.
