Kurdish Traditional Dress Day is celebrated annually on March 10 and is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the traditional costume of the Kurdish people. This holiday highlights the cultural significance and uniqueness of Kurdish national dress, which is an important element of the identity and self-expression of the Kurdish people living in the regions of Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria.

Characteristics of Kurdish Traditional Dress
Kurdish clothing varies depending on the region, but in general it is characterized by the following elements:

The male costume usually consists of a shirt, loose pants, a vest and a scarf that is tied at the waist. Wide pants called "shalvar" and headgear are also usually included.

The female costume includes a long dress, often decorated with embroidery, beads and sequins. A vest or cape may be worn over the dress. The traditional headdress also plays an important role and is decorated with gold coins and other elements.
