The '''traditional Albanian clothing''' ({{sq|Veshjet Tradicionale Shqiptare; Veshjet Kombëtare; Veshjet Popullore or Kostumet Kombëtare}}) includes more than 500 different varieties of clothing in all [[Albania]] and the [[Albanian language|Albanian-speaking]] territories and communities (including the [[Arbëreshë people|Arbëreshë]] in [[Albanians in Italy|Italy]], [[Arvanites]] in [[Albanians in Greece|Greece]] and [[Arbanasi people|Arbanasi]] in [[Albanians of Croatia|Croatia]]). Albania's [[recorded history]] of clothing goes back to [[Classical Antiquity|classical times]].<ref>{{citation| chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lazWAQAAQBAJ&q=moons%2C+stars%2C+and+snakes&pg=PA15| page=16| title=Encyclopedia of National Dress: Traditional Clothing Around the World| chapter=Albania| publisher=ABC-CLIO| year=2013|isbn= 9780313376368}}</ref> It is one of the factors that has differentiated this nation from other European countries, dating back to the Illyrian period.
Almost every cultural and geographical region in the country has its own specific variety of costume that varies in detail, material, color, shape, and form. Albanian folk dress is often decorated with symbolic elements of [[Illyrians|Illyrian]] antique pagan origin, like suns, eagles, moons, stars, and snakes.<ref>{{citation| chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lazWAQAAQBAJ&q=moons%2C+stars%2C+and+snakes&pg=PA15| page=16| title=Encyclopedia of National Dress: Traditional Clothing Around the World| chapter=Albania| editor=Jill Condra| author=Leyla Belkaid| volume=I| publisher=ABC-CLIO| year=2013|isbn= 9780313376368}}</ref> Fabrics are traditionally made by [[weaving]] clothes using [[loom]]s. To this day, some conservative old men and women mainly from the North wear traditional clothing in their daily lives. Instead, older women from the South usually wear all-black outfits. Men and boys are usually seen wearing long, white skirts and long socks that are similar to tights.
