A traditional piece of clothing from Greece

A traditional piece of clothing that we have in Greece is the lesbian Vraka. It looks like somme really baggy pants. The men’s version was up to the knee and the women’s version covered the whole leg. It was baggy because they used to wear it while they were working and it had to be comfortable. The every day version was made of cotton but the most formal version of Vraka was made of precious fabric, like wool or silk. It had a string to tighten on the waistline and to strings to tighten on each leg. Nowdays, we only wear it during national festivals.
