Luri clothing

Luri culture has been developed along with the long history of coexistence among Lurs with surrounding natural elements across the Iranian plateau, and geographical, cultural and religious effects.[1][2] This clothing system is a symbol of Luri people although it varies due to geographical and seasonal conditions and between Luri subgroups. The colors of Luri costumes differ by the Lurs location. In a general classification Luri clothes are in two main subgroups: Bakhtiari and Southern Lurs.
