NATIONAL COSTUMES AND POPULAR CUSTOMS IN BAŠKA
The national or folk costumes of Baška were once upon a time part of everyday life. Men wore black trousers, white cotton socks, a white shirt and black surcoat and blue cylindrical cap. Women wore a coloured skirt, dark blouse, big kerchief like a shawl, and on their head a long piece of yellow cloth skilfully wrapped around their heads. Girls' dresses were more colourful, and married women's dark.
Today, folk costume is not worn in everyday life, but thanks to the activities of the Šoto Culture Society of Baška, it can be seen in programmes that the Society puts on every now and then in the summer months to enliven the tourist scene.
