there are several nice costumes around the world, including the chinese, i always loved silk, and i also find it comfy to wear an Arab Jalabiya, and loved looking at those Sexy Hawaiian dresses(or whatever they are called)...
but what do you think???

The traditional American ethnic costume is easily the best.. even better than the ones the Indians had when we got here.. way better!

yo know what costumes i really like...
hmmmm???? well lets face it, guys costumes suck in all costumes, i mean the japanese, they wear tones of textiles over them,
in Arab Jalabiyas, well they are too open from down, comfy but at home, not in the streets,
Scotish..well lets say no comment on that one
Chinese, too much silk, and softness for men
indian- the big wig on the head i think its anoying to wear all day
and so on..
while women clothes are just endless, and are fit for men, like women are used on dresses, so the Arab Jalabiyas dont look that weird, and so does the scottish, and the Big indian wig thing they dont wear it, they just throw a peace of cloth on their head, but the japanese is probably the most complicated one...

Yeah, but is it still a costume if you wear it every day? I think "costume" requires forethought.

no no no, a traditional costume can be worn every day, like the aboriginal, Scottish, etc... and even the costumes that arent worn anymore, like Roman, Greek, Vikings etc...
