Style Around the World
This is a post I've been looking forward to making all month. : D
Generally speaking I don't care too much about clothes. And I certainly don't buy designer work. But I do have a soft spot for regional and ethnic gear. So without further ado, here are a few of my favorites.
♥ Eastern Orthodox Men's Shirts
Okay, so that's pretty broad! Let me illustrate what I have in mind...

Examples:

♥ American Western Shirts
These versatile, appealing tops are great for all sorts of things. I have a couple of these, and I like how they're pretty enough for fancy wear, but sturdy enough to put up with all sorts of rough treatment.
Here's one I would love to have:
That sure is purty. At the other end of the spectrum are shirts like this, with a no-frills approach. But still lovely!
♥ Saris! ♥
*squeeeaal*
See top image. Drool. Sorry.
Graceful, glowing, exotic, and in a never ending swirl of colors and drapes. So many options!
Take a look here as well.
What traditional or regional clothing do you find especially beautiful? What do you think of my favorites? (If you don't like saris, I want to hear about it)
