Traditional Portuguese dress consists of bouffant skirts made from saia (chequered or striped fabrics) for women, and calsas, short leggings, sombreros, and waistcoats for men. Women also sometimes wear a kerchief, but this varies a lot depending on which region you're in.
Portuguese tend to dress modestly with a sense of quality and elegance. It is important to dress in a respectful manner, particularly when entering formal spaces such as a church. Casual attire (e.g. barefoot, beachwear) is inappropriate in public and can make one seem unsophisticated.
