Because Indonesia is made up of so many islands, there is a variety of traditional clothing style. Each region has its own traditional costume.
A Dayak woman from Kalimantan wearing traditional costume
The climate is hot,
so most clothing styles are loose, such as wrap-around sarong
style skirts with overshirts of light fabric. Sometimes fabric
is decorated by embroidery or batik.
Balinese costume
However,
traditional costume is mainly worn on special 
occasions
such as festivals, weddings, religious occasions and so on.
Part of traditional Sumatran male's costume is a dagger with carved handle and bear claw dagger holder
Of course dancers
wear traditional costumes for dance.

Most Indonesians
wear
'western' style
clothing for everyday wear. Men wear pants and shirts, sometimes
with a tie. Women generally wear dresses or skirts and blouses.
Very brief tops and shorts are acceptable on the beach, but not
elsewhere.
