Bosnian traditional Muslim clothes

Pictured are some typical Bosnian traditional outfits, all of which tell a story of its own.There are many different types of Bosnian traditional outfits and so much could be written about them.One of the biggest knowledge bases for this type of clothes was totally destroyed during the war in Sarajevo.
Looking at all Bosnian traditional clothes, we can notice the difference in style based on whether the clothes was worn in rural or urban areas. This difference arose mostly due to the economic differences between these social groups. Traditional clothing in towns was equivalent in towns throughout Bosnian territory, and certain variations between the national groups have not significantly influenced its core style. Village clothes are much more variedMany variations of clothes from different ethnic groups have been expressed through minor details in clothing accessories and ornaments, in their colour or the way they were worn, but essentially the core category features and characteristics have been preserved.
