Indonesia
 
 
 
  This costume will probably be used by Miss Indonesia Universe   2010. This is the combination between Batik and Kebaya. 2 Most   Well-Known Traditional Costumes of Indonesia.
 
 
 
  Palembangese Songket Costume. Palembang is the capital city of South   Sumatera Province.
 
 
 
  This costume is originated from Central Sulawesi. The center of   the skirt is made of bark in form of three-layered wrought fabric with   some ornaments, such as sea shells and seeds.
 
 
  This costume is from North Sumatera Province, Indonesia. The   combination of the color of red, yellow and black is adapted from the   natural colors of certain animals, like the stripes of tigers.
 
 
 
  This costume is also from North Sumatera, specifically Nias   Island. The island lies on the east of the North Sumatera Province. This   women costume are made of cotton. But now, some new materials are also   being used, like satin which has a distinctive sparkle.
 
 
 
  A Kebaya is a traditional blouse-dress combination worn by women   in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Burma, Singapore, southern Thailand and   some parts of Cambodia. It sometimes made from sheer material and   usually worn with a sarong or batik kain panjang, or other traditional   woven garment such as ikat, songket with a colorful motif.

  The kebaya is the national costume of Indonesia, although it is more   accurately endemic to Java, Sunda and Bali

The U.S. is a relatively new country so we do not really have a   traditional dress, but some clothes worn in the past are:
 
  For women: Bonnets, Long dresses, etc.  Hair tucked into a bun.
 
  For men: Plaid shirts, White Shirts with Peach colored pants,   Revolutionary War Hat (don't know what it is called), and some boots.

This is traditional Vietnamese
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Australia:
 
 
  We traditionally call them 'thongs', but they are increasingly being   called flip flops due to the prevalence of American culture here.   Traditionally they were worn with shorts, but people now wear them with   jeans.
 
 
  This is called a cork hat. Normal head movement causes the corks to   swing around on the string, thus shooing away the annoying summer flies.
 
 
  These people are wearing short pants which are called stubbies. Sadly,   these have gone out of fashion for guys, who now seem to go for shorts   that go past the knee. They are now only worn as work wear, say, if you   are a plumber, carpenter, or crocodile wrestler.  A more feminine   version of 'stubbies' started to experience a comeback in women's   fashion about 3 years ago.
 
 
 
  'The tash' (otherwise known as 'the mo'). This is a very bushy mustache   that men grow on their upper lip that continues further down than the   Tom Sellick/ Lionel Richie version of the mustache. The top photo is the   'David Boon' (or Boony) mustache. The second photo is Merv Hughes   mustache, which is typically grown even further down the face, breaching   the jawline. Both are admirable. Note the guy in the stubbies photo   (with the two girls, above) has tried to grow (a very poor version of)   the 'boony tash'.
 
 
  The 'Drizabone' is a type of oilskin workcoat that Australian farmers   wear to keep them warm and dry in the rain. The name is a pun, meaning   'dry as a bone' which is what you are meant to be when wearing one in   the rain. In my only experience wearing one on a geology fieldtrip, the   rain always finds a way inside, and after a few wears, it would be more   aptly named named as 'Smellslikeacow'.
 
  In the above photo of the guy wearing the 'Drizabone', he is also   wearing an 'Akubra hat'. This hat is great for keeping the blazing sun   of your face and neck. Again, only rural people wear these hats, so just   because they don't actually have 'red necks', thanks to the protection   offered by the akubra hat, you can safely assume anyone who wears one is   a 'redneck'. Akubra hats can be worn with the corks or without.        

                        Indonesia is   composed by 13000 islands (the largest archipelago on earth) and is a   crossroads for great civilisations and cultures because of its   exceptional position between two oceans and two continents. Thus   indonesia is one of the most diverse country in the world in many   aspects and more specifically in terms of traditional clothings. Beauty   is Diversity, enjoy !
 
 
  THE "KEBAYA" is   definitely a symbol of the indonesian Woman and reflects the   indonesian elegance. It is an element of the indonesian culture : worn   by women in many occasions (weddings...). The Kebaya is for Indonesian   women what Kimono is for Japanese women.
 
 
 
 
 
 
                 
   
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
  This was a   "preview" of the the diversity of indonesian clothings and there are   still many more cultures and islands for you to discover : Tribes and   peoples of Borneo, Papua and Sulawesi, the tradition of genuine Javanese   BATIK, Sumatran SONGKET and IKAT. Discover their own textiles and   clothes.

  The fez originated in Fez, Morocco and was popularized in the Ottoman   Empire and Western world in the 19th century. Its use has subsequently   become less widespread.
