Sri lankan fashion

Sri Lanka, an island nation known for its rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes, is also a burgeoning hub for fashion, particularly noted for its bold prints and vibrant colors.

There is no official national costume in Sri Lanka. But the most popular items are sari for women and sarong for men. The traditions in men's clothing are simpler and clearer – men of any age wear sarongs or trousers. It is a little bit more complicated with women. Their national costumes depend on the age, marital status and the event. Mostly women use sari or half sari. But there are different regional peculiarities.

It was approximately 8 am in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and the streets were filled with music, dance and more than 90 colourful national costumes from the Miss World contestants.

Sri Lankan attire is deeply symbolic and is often associated with cultural and religious practices. Colors, patterns, and accessories are chosen carefully to convey specific meanings and intentions.
