A Samgurtian man and woman in their nations' traditional dress.
Just like any Galeanic nations in Southeast Levropia, their clothing is influenced by the Mervalians. This is especially true for the male clothes, which features a kećara shirt, based on the ķičara (the term itself is a loanword from Mervalian). With Samgurtia being warmer and sunnier than Mervalia, they don't wear long coats, or any outerwear for that matter. It is also the reason why kećara sleeves are usually rolled up. The lack of coat-wearing also makes the shirt more ornamented than its Mervalian counterpart.
For decoration, Samgurtian men wear a bunáre (headwrap) and temeruda (waistwrap). The bunáre traces its origins to headbands worn by Samgurtian levies during its 18th century independence war from the Mervalian-ruled Pirusavian Empire. The temeruda is much more ancient in origin and may have served a multipurpose tool, whether while farming or fishing in the rivers, in the case of tying, carrying objects, or to cover the head later when it gets too sunny. It is not made to tie the pants up, since Samgurtian traditional pants have their own laces (hidden by the temeruda).
Women wear sáparena (long white robe) with sakájá (apron with a non-ornamented waistwrap). One might notice how the sáparena is similar to the ones worn by Visonian women. This is because the design of the sáparena (pialla in Visonian) is mostly influenced from Helician clothing, where eastern Samgurtia and the whole of Visonia were under the Helician-ruled Holy Panochian Empire from the 18th to the early 20th century. The similarity, however, still led to some sort of petty quarreling between not so historically aware Samgurtians and Visonians in the diaspora.
