The fustanella is a traditional garment worn by men in Greece and some other Balkan countries. It resembles a pleated skirt and is typically made of white cotton or wool. The fustanella is often associated with the Greek War of Independence and is a symbol of national pride. This garment is usually worn with a white shirt and a sash, and it is often complemented by a pair of traditional shoes called tsarouchia. The fustanella is particularly recognized in the attire of the Evzones, the elite presidential guard in Greece, who wear it during ceremonial events.
