Kurdish traditional clothing

Kurdish traditional clothing, also known as Kurdish dress (Kurdish: جل و بەرگی کوردی, Cil û bergên kurdî), refers to the folk costumes of the Kurdish people. The traditions typically vary across different regions and tribes of Kurdistan, but it has some common elements. Historically, Kurdish clothing was more complex and varied, but it has evolved to a simpler form over time. It is also prominently worn during festivals and special occasions such as Newroz.[1]
