Albanian translation: kostume popullore shqiptare

English term or phrase: Albanian folk costumes
Albanian folk wear sounds weird in English, but might be closer to the Albanian translation. So whether it's going to be singular or plural, should depend on the Albanian usage, whichever sounds better in Albanian.

Example from Google Images:

When possible, use pure Albanian words instead of Latin or English! So I'm guessing, that it might include "veshjet kombëtare", but if this is correct, then I still need the adjective Albanian added to the front or end and in the correct grammatical form.

Thanks!

agree  Ledja: I think the asker may be grappling with the English version rather than the translation of it. So just for the record, "costume" denotes dressing up in pretend clothes rather than traditional ones. The word needed is "attire" (rather than wear).
