Lurish clothing


The clothing culture of Lurs is a very interesting aspect of this ethnic group which has been developed along with their long history of coexistence with surrounding natural elements across the Iranian plateau, and geographical, cultural and religious effects. This clothing system is a symbol of Lurish people although it varies due to geographical and seasonal conditions and between Lurish subgroups. The colors of Lurish costumes differ by the Lurs location. In a general classification Lurish clothes are in three main subgroups: Feyli (common between Feyli Lurs including Laki, Minjai, Kalhori and Maleki tribes), Bakhtiari (Common between Bakhtiari Charlang and Haftlang clans) and Southern Lurish (common between Southern Lurs).
