Why don't westerners celebrate their costumes like we do in East Asia? I could imagine seeing russian women renting out kokoshniks to take photos in front of Saint Basil’s Cathedral.
>>225026298They do
>>225026298>celebrate their costumes like we do in East Asiaall of you wear the same cheap crap coming out of a bangladeshi factory
>>225026422Rather basic post for a indonesian flag.
>>225026298people do that at ethnic/historical festivals but that's mostly larp, people wear the idealized versions of the costumes their ancestors never really wore because they would have been too expensive or reserved only for a particular class/region.
>>225026837What's wrong with LARP? It keeps the heritage alive. I'd rather people dress up in ethnic costumes from time to time that everyone be wearing the same globalized jeans+shirt combination.
>>225026837True, people wore whatever rags they could muster up just like these days where I see grown fat men wearings simpsons tshirts.
>>225026298>russian >westerners
>>225026837There were still some regional costumes among common people used for celebrations. However most of the modern "traditional clothes" is a lumped up together modern vision slop.
>>225026837That’s the same everywhere, the average Japanese peasant wore a threadbare brown kimono nothing like the bright coloured detailed ones they wear in festivals or whatever
>>225026298because most realize it's all some larp so they only do that during ren faires
>>225026298they were still worn somewhat up until the 70s and people were still getting buried in them up until the 80s iirc, nowadays youll only rarely see them at festivals
>>225026298Costumes from different regions are different and some are impractical or clash with modern aesthetics. Lot of Czech ones, especially from wealthy regions, are both impractically and archaic looking because of emphasis on puffiness. German, Scandi or Russian costumes for example fit more into modern world.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfAjuhcFmOA
>>225027159Octoberfest is a pretty huge event innit?
>>225027298>German, Scandi or Russian costumes for example fit more into modern world.even in the past they had hoodies and funny haircuts, not much has changed. remove the beard and the monk would look like your avg zoomer
>>225027396The whole concept of a Tracht (Dirndl, Lederhose + whatever else you have) was a concept made up the 19th century thanks to the romantics, there isn't much historical about it
>>225027159Germans love dressing up in leiderhosen and dirndl
>>225027435Thats true of basically every country's traditional costume. There's nothing wrong with that though.
>>225027298They look all the same in Europe?
>>225027298>just do the push ups bro you will get those damn delts
>>225027502it just feels like some odd we wuzzing all while the jeans were invented around the time that those customes were popularized
>>225026449seething cultureless country
I'm English and we don't have a national costume, it's tacky Disney shit for the little nations like Scotland
>>225027751Your culture is sucking japanese dickIt is so weak, my small nation could easily destroy yours militarily
>>225027572More or less. idk how it is generally in Europe but Finland alone has like 100 of different traditional regional styles. Not that they are all very unique but just saying.>>225026449Manufacturing is a different story.
>>225027801your people can't even get their own waterI doubt you guys could bear the weight of a gun
>>225026298Because it’s ridiculous I’m the only rational person who sees itI don’t care what my ancestors wore it’s time to move on
>>225027933you pathetic weak faggots, reducing your service time in militarily, getting out of military arrangements as you fear war is going to happenAnd still have the gall to come talk shit with a militarily superior nation like mineI swear I will fund the chinese to blow your skulls into smithereens when the war starts
>>225026298I don't know how east asians celebrate their costumes. But at certain festivals (harvest festival, monthly beer festival, etc.) some people wear "traditional clothing" that never belonged to my region. The plastic lederhose & dirndl combo keeps on winning. At least the local shooting guild still wears their green suits. >>225026837This.>>225026948>It keeps the heritage aliveMore often than not it doesn't. When the Lederhose became popular in Bavaria in the middle of the 19th century it was an urban product meant for the urban rich, which emulated and mixed several different dress customs of rural, alpine farmers into one new amalgamation. A similar thing happened to the Bollenhut (that one hat for women with the large red pompoms) from the Black Forest as it got endorsed by the royalty and became a popular clothing item for the bourgeois and thus was removed from it's rural origin.>>225027741I wonder why most european traditional dresses are the ones that were popularised in the 19th century. Why not the fashion of the 12th century? Or the actual clothing worn by the people of the 19th century for the majority of their daily life? (I know the reasons: there are only approximations of medieval clothings, the actual work clothes of the 19th century are not /fa/ enough and the opulent festive dresses were officially endorsed by the state).
>>225026422Lmao
