The Krakow festive costumes are considered to be the best-known of Polish folk costumes. Their fabrics, cut, colour, and adornments, changed repeatedly, creating a large variety of versions.

The Krakow costumes have acquired a symbolic meaning. This is especially true of the man's red square cap, decorated with peacock feathers. These two elements came to symbolize the Poles and Poland, raising the Krakow regional costume to the status of a national costume.
