Hello! I find your blog to be really informative on greek culture and I if its no trouble, I would like to ask if the image attached is indeed traditional greek clothing? Because I found this on pinterest and I can never be too sure if it actually came from greek origin. I would also like to ask if you know the meaning behind this clothing..? I mean this in a, is this what generals or officers wear kind of way? Because he kinda looks like one. Sorry for this wierd ask 😅 I like your blog!

Hello! Thanks a lot! 💙💙💙 Yes it is! On the left side it writes it is from the area Sterea Hellas! It's a variation of the tsolias style.

I am sure the picture is Greek because I had reblogged some pictures of this style and they were all made by the same artist about Greece. It was from a traditional folk museum if I remember correctly.

Edit: It was the formal clothing for many men at the time but with simpler versions of the waistcoat and no jewelry it was worn by every day men (e.g. shepherds) and even guerilla fighters of the 1821 resistance (kleftes and armatoloi).

After the revolution it was connected to the warriors and generals and it became the formal attire of the generals and other military leaders, as you noticed.

Today it's an honor to wear it, it's not just "good clothing", there has to be an appropriate occasion for someone to don it. Evzones, the presidential guard wears it, for example.

If you are reenacting events of the 1821 (even in a school play) or dance traditional dances professionally it's also appropriate to wear it.

Initially there was no deeper meaning to the dress but today, especially for the Evzones, there are certain symbols in the numbers in the attire. If you are interested in that let me know. For the Evzone dress there are English articles that can help, too.

More traditional clothing you can see in my tag #paradosiaki foresia
