Every Romanian knows that it is important to wear the traditional vest with pride, not only because it fits nicely into a lot of outfits, but also because it is part of our national costume.

On the eve of 1st of December, an element that reminds us of our folk costume is more than welcome.

In any Romanian’s heart, the 1st of December 2018 represents a real moment of joy. It is more than The National Day of Romania. As we know, this year, it is the anniversary of 100 years since the Great Union of 1918. We celebrate with cheers of happiness and national pride the Centennial of Romania, and this important event requires a special preparation. The meal has to be loaded with traditional dishes and carefully chosen beverages, and the atmosphere supplemented by popular songs.

It is the first days of November and it seems like you should replace the tinny denim jacket with a warmer trench coat. Along with a stylish deux piece, some retro jeans or a pair of over the knee boots, the trench coat helps you get the right outfit according to where you wear it. It gives you a classy look when you want to express femininity or, on the contrary, it is great for a cool street style outfit.

The Romanian costume has a timeless beauty and there is no Romanian who does not walk with pride and pleasure, wearing at least a piece of clothing from our beautiful costume. The joy is even greater as we see huge fashion brands that get inspired by traditional Romanian motifs in creating their latest collections.

An outfit can certainly be saved if it is completed with the right pair of shoes or, on the contrary, it can be ruined by a less inspired choice. The shoes should be carefully chosen in order to bring that essential element to your outfit and, at the same time, to be beneficial to the health of your feet. The material, pattern and heel’s height should be prudently checked before buying the shoes you want.
