The Albanian national costume, known as "veshja kombëtare," varies by region and reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. It typically features vibrant colors and intricate embroidery, with men often wearing a qeleshe (a traditional hat) and women donning a fustan (a long dress) adorned with decorative elements. These costumes are often worn during cultural events, festivals, and celebrations, showcasing Albania's traditions. The attire symbolizes national identity and pride, with each region having its unique style, materials, and patterns that tell stories of local history and customs.
