Traditional Greek costumes vary widely by region but generally include distinct combinations of boldly colored fabrics and intricate ornamentation. Female costumes are typically divided into three categories based on the type of overcoat worn - sleeveless sigouni coats, ankle-length open kavadi coats, or dresses. Male costumes also differ by region but commonly include the knee-length fustanella kilt or wraparound vraka trousers along with elaborately embroidered vests. Local materials, financial means, and the occasion determine the specific fabrics, designs, colors, and complexity of embroidery used in the diverse traditional costumes across Greece's various geographical areas.
