Everyday Tunisians mostly wear modern clothing, but traditional dress is still treasured for weddings and national or native ceremonies. In the past, each region and often each village had its own costume.
Jebba and chechia
The jebba is regarded as the national traditional dress: a wide coat covering the body, varying in fabric, colour and trim. In rural areas it is a sleeveless tunic worn over a shirt, vest and baggy trousers called seroual, white in summer and grey in winter. The chechia is a red felt hat, sometimes with a black thread tassel, worn as part of urban ceremonial dress.
Women and festive wear
The sefseri is a white veil of silk or fine wool that covers the head. Wealthy Tunis brides once wore velvet, brocade or silk kaftans embroidered with gold, and some brides in Sousse and Hammamet still wear kaftans. The source says a costume’s richness depends more on woven patterns and embroidery than on cut or fabric.
Textiles
Kairouan remains the national centre of carpet production.
