The ᴧυрιαδ (luriad) is the 'national'* piece of clothing of the Lurionas; it is worn only by men**.
It basically has the shape of a longsleeved shirt, and can be formed from one easily.
There are 4 main ways to wear a luriad:
Lutian - ᴧυтιε ᴧυрιαδ
The elite of Lutia wears a luriad around their right shoulder. Most of it rests on the back, only a small part on the front of the shoulder. The sleeves are tied together somewhere across the chest or under the left arm.
Dorinian - δοрιнιε ᴧυрιαδ
The soldiers from Dorina sometimes wear nothing more than a luriad tied around their waist. Most of it hangs in front of the right hip, covering their crotch. The sleeves are tied together somewhere in front or on the side of their left hip. You could consider it some kind of loincloth, although a luriad is much larger and a dorinian luriad only covers the front.
Naupilian - нαυπιᴧιε ᴧυрιαδ
The fishermen of Naupila wear it simillar to the dorines, but they wear it on top of some (short) trousers, and on the back of their right hip. The sleeves are tied as with the dorinan luriad.
Izakrian - ιzακрιε ᴧυрιαδ
This style is not named after a city, but it is a variation on the luriad. It's much longer but has shorter sleeves. It is tied around the waist, leaving only the left hip visible. This is much more universal and can be weared by anyone at most occasions. There are also womens skirts in this style.
I have no idea if I've made myself clear, but I hope you get the idea.
(* Mind you, Λυрιοнαc is the collective name of the cities and villages where ᴧυрιοнεcκι is spoken, not an actual country.)
(** The luriones are quite sexist when it comes to elite and religious affairs. For instance, all the gods are male. Women are respected, though; only more as mothers and wifes.)
