===Traditional clothing===

Clothing worn by Hlenderians vary from area to area. In the most populous Vrotri cities of the western coast, traditional dress is rarely seen except on special occasions. When traditional dress is worn during daily life, it is usually seen on the elderly. Among the Kwari and Mūni of the interior, however, traditional dress is still commonly worn by all ages and at all times. Men and women both wear a light jacket, known as a ''gulenu'', over a linen blouse. Typically, the gulenu is dyed a bright color - often blue, red, or green - and features contrasting piping around the collar, down the sleeves, and at the cuffs. Inside this piping is embroidery. Among the Kwari, this embroidery signifies family heritage and is added by the matriarch of the household. Simple trousers and traditional leather shoes or boots complete this base layer. During the harsh winters, a thick fur coat known as a ''banbiru'' provides extra warmth. This coat is usually made from the skins of local animals; for the Kwarim of central and northern Hlenderia, this is usually bear, and for the Mūni of the southern tundra, muskox.
Both Kwari and Mūni women wear what is known as a ''chirimu'', which is a tasseled shawl. This is worn over the 'gulenu' and below the 'banbiru', and the length of the tassels can indicate formality or wealth. On the head, fur hats are worn during the winter by both men and women. During the spring and summer, men wear linen hoods or brimmed hats, and women wear traditional headscarves.
