Togae need to come back into fashion. I would wear the hell out of a toga.

Used to be 'suspender belt' if my memory serves me correctly. Maybe an 'Anarak' for Parka as well.

I tried "sarape" a good five or six times before accepting that it wanted something else...

Your not the only one. As a child of the Texas, I've only known it as a Serape. My only connection to the correct answer is the awful Mexican restaurant chain where you raise the flag.

I grew up in Austin and there used to be one of those restaurants in my neighborhood! I loved raising the flag as a kid! Also, the restaurant is called Pancho's, like Pancho Villa.

FWIW they aren't the same thing. A serape is a blanket or shawl. A poncho has a slit for the head to go through.

Wikipedia:

"The term sarape is for the rectangular woven blanket (no openings), though in more recent years it can also be used to refer to a very soft rectangular blanket with an opening in the middle for one's head, similar to a poncho called gabán, or jorongo in Mexico. Modern variations of some serapes are made with matching hoods for head covering. The length varies, but front and back normally reach knee height on an average person."

Ah, "in more recent years" - just one more thing that has changed since I was in school. I stand corrected, but grumpily. :)

Oh dear, I am a professional costumer for theatre companies and I found the bodice answer really difficult! So did others it seems. A bodice is usually just a term for any period women's top part of a dress. That one looks is from a dirndl so it took me ages to get it. I was trying all sort of period and german names first like stomacher, bluse, tracht. Maybe change it to dirndl?

Many kinds of dresses have bodices. As Jezilly says, it is only the part of the dress that covers the chest. Not a good question, not a good answer.

From the design, dirndl was the first thing that popped to mind. Thanks for pointing out that it could be more specific than just bodice.

Actually, "bodice" is just "clothing above the waist.

I was searching the corners of my mind for something German or Austrian and then thought that maybe I was overthinking the answer - a common fault of mine - and just tried bodice and was surprised when it actually worked. It's been a long time since I studied fashion history, but isn't dirndl also a type of skirt?
+1

Dirndl is usually the name for the whole Austrian/Bavarian/Tyrolean dress, not just the top part.

For the life of me I could NOT think of the word Hijab. I kept getting stuck on the generic head scarf.

Similarly, i just couldn't come up with burqa. All I could think of was "niqab." Close, but not close enough.

Same, we actually call it (translated) headscarf. But apparently some info was present in my mind, I tried hibab and habib and gave up. Close though.

I think niqab should work for burqa.

Except that would be wrong. Niqab does not cover the eyes.

Level 82
Aug 29, 2018
it can. The difference is that a birqa covers your whole body. Niqab is just a veil or face covering.
+3
Level 82
Jun 19, 2018
It's close, but not quite the same. Usually burqa has a mesh covering the eyes, while niqab leaves a slit for the eyes and is usually black.

Hate to be picky but . . . . Anorak should work. Parka is a more generic term. Anoraks are made of fur and are pullovers rather than buttoned, just like the one in the picture. Also, that trench coat is not a classic trench coat--it lacks the belt and straps. It is more of an overcoat or raincoat.
+1

Agreed, anorak should be accepted. Also, I would like to see 'headscarf' accepted for hejab -- hejab can just refer to any modest dress for men/women, but headscarves are what the people in the photo are actually wearing.

I always thought a Trench coat would require a belt and two button borders. Guess I'm wrong.

Got "bolo" thanks to my brother who thinks he's a cowboy. And got "pince-nez" thanks to one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes stories, "The Golden Pince-Nez"!

Took a while to remember "trench" coat. Tried "rain", "mac", "MacIntosh", etc. first.

That is not a trench coat. it's just a raincoat. Trench coats typically have wide lapels, belts, epaulettes and cuff fasteners and a big overlap at the front. You'd be a sorry soldier if the article in the picture was your only coat.
