Western-style clothing is the norm. However, traditional costumes can still be seen at local festivities and parades. Many display the Swiss art of fine embroidery. Herdsmen in the Gruyère region wear a short blue jacket of cloth or canvas called a bredzon with sleeves gathered at the shoulders. On special occasions, women in this region wear silk aprons, long-sleeved jackets, and straw hats with ribbons hanging from the brim. Other traditional women's costumes include gold lace caps in St. Gallen and dresses with silver ornaments in Unterwalden. Traditional male dress common to many Alpine areas are the leather shorts called lederhosen, often worn with sturdy leather boots.

They usually wear these nice floppy shirts like blouses but guys wear them to. They don't have sleeves. For Christmas they decorate a beautiful tree all the Swiss people gather around and sing a beautiful peaceful song. In Christmas there wear red white or pink clothes. All kids go to bed while the older people wait for saint nick. They were a santa hat and dance to holiday songs. They women wear pink slacks with a with shirt or a red and white dress. The gentlemen wear a white tuxedo or white slacks and a red shirt.

There isn't one... there would be several... each state and mainly each subregion has own (and realtively diverse) traditional costumes.
