Czech traditional clothing

The sixteenth century was a time of development of textile and sewing technologies; for example, women's clothing was fitted at the waist.

Young boys wore short undershirts, and the most elaborate element of traditional male clothing was a fur coat.

[6] In Haná, folk dress was traditional and indicated occupation; dark, simple colors were worn by working people.

Women wore a long dress or a high-belted skirt (oplicko) with a short bolero jacket with a stand-up collar.

Men wore narrow breeches (cervenice), made of yellow leather in the rural districts near Brno.

The shift from traditional to modern clothing occurred during the second half of the nineteenth century, with location playing an important role.
