A sulu is a type of skirt traditionally worn by men and women in Fiji. It is regarded as Fiji's national dress.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clothing and dress in Fiji )〕 It consists of a rectangle of cloth of varying length, between below-knee and ankle-length, wrapped around the hips and legs and traditionally fastened by tying at the waist. Modern men's sulus may be fastened with buckles. Women's casual or everyday sulus are known as ''sulu-i-ra'', and more elegant full-length ones for dressy occasions as ''sulu jaba''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Skirts for men, or everything you always wanted to know about the sulu )〕 Men's sulus are known as ''sulu vakataga''. Tailored sulus with pockets are commonly worn as part of Fijian men's business and formal wear,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=People & Culture of Fiji Islands )〕 with shirt and sandals and optionally western-style jacket and tie. In certain situations, such as entering a church, wearing a sulu is seen as respectful. Tailored sulus also feature in police and military uniforms. Official uniform sulus come to below the knees and feature a distinctive zigzag hem. In Fiji the sulu is seen as an expression of ethnic Fijian identity. While wearing a sulu is often mandatory for Fijians in certain settings, members of other ethnicities are sometimes discouraged from wearing it. ==See also== * Sulu - a province in the Philippines, which had been part of the Sultanate of Sulu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sulu (skirt)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
