To give you an information about my article, I would like to give you a background information of why I chose this country. Traditional clothing and costumes are garments worn to indicate national, cultural or religious identity. They can represent an entire nation or a small regional area. They may also reflect a period of time and one's place in society. Traditional costumes are as different as the people who wear them. Discovering and learning different customs and clothing is essential to any trip.
Brazil has many traditional clothing styles, the majority of which relate to dance. Here we see performers in country costumes performing the folk dance Quadrilha. It's party of the annual Festa Junina (June Festival) that is celebrated across Brazil with music, dance and food. The festival honours the three Catholic saints days that occur in June - for St. Anthony, St. John the Baptist and St. Peter.
Compared to our country's national clothing; "barong" and "Filipiniana", Brazil's national clothing is far more lively and colourful, in my opinion. Despite the fact that Brazil has many traditional clothing styles, it looks really beautiful from afar. I admire the patterns on the dresses, since it brings out more life to the dress and to the person. I believe that it expresses the emotion of the person wearing it, showing utter happiness and joy. As seen on the photo I placed above this article, you can see the smiles on the people's faces as they celebrate their traditions.
The reason why I chose this specific country and this specific photo is because I have always admired the country Brazil especially their tourists spots. As I was scanning through the Internet, the photo above captured my attention. I was always fond of looking at dresses with colourful patterns. Aside from the dress, I also love to see the joy and happiness the person wearing it is showing because it shows, in my opinion, that one can truly identify a person's attitude based on what they're wearing.
