Turkish clothes in rural area

In rural areas Turkish women in more modest dress (sleeved tops, slacks or knee-length dresses or skirts) may be seen as worthier of respect. A foreign woman wanting to fit in with traditional village life would wear slacks (or, going native, the comfortable Turkish bloomers called salvar [SHAHL-vahr]), a top with sleeves at least to the elbows and perhaps even to the wrists, and a headscarf, when out in public.

Traditional costumes of Roma minorityThe stereotype of the Roma woman with the long, colorful skirt, the heavy earrings, and often a flower in her hair has some basis in fact. Traditionally, a woman's legs must not show. Exposure of the legs is a grave offense, so long full skirts must be worn. It is probable that long skirts were once thought of as protection against sexual advances, but they also cover the lower part of the body, which is considered marimé, or "impure." These skirts are generally of bright colors, often consisting of many layers.
