1: Sivas
2: Sasun
3: Eastern Armenia (Prince Orbelian from Tatev in the picture)
4: Zeytun
5: Gyumri
6: Karin
7: Hamshen
8: Kars (Variation of Eastern Armenian costume)
And this is just scratching the surface, ignoring all the sub regional differences. And when we start to get into women’s clothes, there’s dozens and dozens of styles. Armenians can boast that they have one of the most diverse arrays of national costumes on earth.
Let me know which one is your favorite.

Old clothing is so cool. One thing that was definitely better in the past was that there was a huge diversity of clothing styles, while nowadays most people worldwide wear American/Western European stuff.

You can clearly the see the disparity between East and West. East being much more Caucasus influenced due to the Armenians living in Northern Caucasus region for almost 200 years.
But I do prefer the Western ones. I would like to know the scarfs the Sivas ones are weakening

We don’t even have unity in our costumes…
