Summary/Abstract: In this article we attempt to give an in-depth presentation of the traditional costume of Szék (Sic) village from Cluj County. In addition to presenting the parts of women’s wear, the specifics of the age group and especially the combinations available in women’s wear are also discussed. We emphasize separately the winter-summer and the festive-everyday features and differences. Regarding the future of the traditional costume from Szék, we plan to continue our research in order to provide a reliable knowledge for the future generations, which disappeared over the last two decades as a result of undressing from traditional costumes.
