Romani dress

Romani dress is the traditional attire of the Romani people, widely known in English by the exonymic slur Gypsies.^[a] Romani traditional clothing is closely connected to the history, culture, and national identity of the Roma people.^[2]^[3]

Certain scholars connect similarities of Romani dress with South Asian populations due to the general consensus of the South Asian origins^[b] of Romani people. However, they also note that there are many differences as well, which is indicative of the contact Romani people have had with various other groups. Because of this, Romani dress can vary drastically among different tribes, however, there are certain constant similarities that define Romani dress as a whole. Romani people are often recognizable to other Roma through their appearance and cultural dress codes. Moreover, Romani people value the outwardly display of their wealth and prosperity which is reflective in their traditional dress.^[2]
