context_page_description: Kurdish traditional clothing is an ongoing part of Kurdish heritage.
context_section_description: Vest, long-sleeved jacket and overcoat: This is either made from a plain fabric, a velveteen fabric or a sequin covered fabric.
  Gown: This is usually the dazzling masterpiece of the outfit. Most commonly, Kurdish women wear a mesh fabric or a sheer fabric which is ornamented skillfully with many beads or sequins, or both. The embroidery can be the same colour as the fabric, or multicoloured to create a bright dress. The brightly coloured outfits characterize the spirit of the Kurdish people. There are many different structural designs of the gown. The most common ones today are the traditional Kurdish region gown, which is straight top to bottom with very long sleeves, and the Kurdish-Iranian gown which is frilly from the waist down.
  Under layers: The under dress and trousers are made of a plain satin fabric usually matching the colour of the gown.
  Belt: Fabric belts are colour coordinated with any piece of the outfit. Married women tend to wear gold belts.  There are two common types:
  Lira belt; a gold belt made entirely from connected gold lira coins or dangling gold liras
  Gobarah belt: similar to a lira belt, but the coins are inexpensive
  Trousers: These are a type of traditional Kurdish clothing for men. It consists of two main parts: rank and chogha.
  The rank is worn like pants, but is usually almost twice as wide than normal pants.
  The chogha is like a jacket, but the bottom of it goes inside the chogha. In addition, a shirt must be worn under the chogha.
  Traditional hat:  This is usually black velveteen ornamented with traditional amber, turquoise beads, and gold or silver charms.
  Traditional jewellery: This is gold, with gold charms and traditional amber, red or black beads and occasional dangling lira coins.
  Sheelana: This is a long gold necklace with amber, red or black beads and dangling leaf shaped charms.
  Meglad: This is a big black stone dangling from a gold chain.
