Does anyone know what traditional boys hungarian costume looks like?
Does anyone know what a traditional hungarian costume for boys/men wear?
Hungarian folk costume has a lot of regional variation — an experienced folklorist can tell what village a woman’s dress comes from. Men’s fashion is somewhat more conservative, and tends to be a variation on one of two basic styles:
1) "Nadrág" or "harisnya": pants or joined hose (the latter generally of wool, with corded decoration), white "peasant"-style shirt, and a vest or sleeved waistcoat (with variations on its decoration based on region, the season, and the age and social status of the wearer); or
2) "Gatya": very baggy pleated pants, generally white or blue linen, a baggy (but often rather short) shirt of the same fabric, and a vest. Some regions also add an apron (long, embroidered, with fringe at the bottom).
Both styles generally also include boots and a hat. The latter is usually something like a bowler hat: a short mostly-cylindrical hat with a brim. The "gatya" style is associated with the Great Plain and the cowboys and horsemen who made their living there, and can be completed with a wider-brimmed hat (somewhat like a sombrero) and a wool overcoat called the "szűr".
