"PARADA PORTULUI POPULAR ROMANESC"

Folk costumes (also regional costumes, national costumes, or traditional garments) express an identity through costumes which usually to a geographic area or a period of time in history, but can also indicate social, marital and/or religious status. Such costumes often come in two forms: one for everyday occasions, the other for festivals and formal wear. Following the outbreak of romantic nationalism, the peasantry of Europe came to serve as models for all that appeared genuine and desirable. Their dress crystallised into so-called "typical" forms, and enthusiasts adopted it as part of their symbolism. In areas where contemporary Western fashions have become usual, traditional garments are often worn in connection with special events' celebrations, particularly those connected with cultural traditions, heritage, or pride.
