Different regions of the same country almost always have their own peculiarities of national costumes. Mostly the difference between them isn’t very big, but sometimes it can be stunning. Switzerland has driven the diversity of national clothing to the whole new level. They have 26 cantons (regions or provinces), and each of them is represented by a unique folk dress.
If you want to know more about Swiss culture and way of living, you should visit one of their folklore festivals or traditional holidays. Swiss people really know how to organize a celebration with the national character.
