    Culture is the warm fuzzy blanket people can wrap their souls in. Language is the cup from which the meaning of life flows. The more words a person understands of a given language, the deeper the meaning of the culture people can enjoy.
    Warm hugs to the people of Ukraine.

    The clothes don't represent the people. They enhance the people who wear them. As you have demonstrated. By just doing something a little differently. And in comparison Ukrainian women have a much higher fashion sense than ruzzian's do. That filters down into every aspect of life.
    And no matter how you wear it Anna you make a proud and beautiful statement of your love of Ukrainian culture. I honestly wish we here in the states would have adopted some of this instead of chasing the next fad.
    It's an amazing phenomenon how a style can promote unity and identity.
    Thank you for enriching all of us through your depictions of Ukrainian culture. As for which look,. I really enjoyed how with only a simple twist and turn you completely changed styles. And as a man I will admit that those can be pretty attractive.
    Another example of how important holding onto our culture really is.

    Oh! I don't have an Ukrainian shawl but I do have Portuguese shawls! We wore them pretty much the same as Ukrainian women do, except for the Carpathian style.
    In the South of Portugal - where I am from - working peasant women or old women used to cover half their faces, moors style :))))))) There is a Northern African cultural influence in the South of my country.
    Thanks Anna. It was a lovely video.
    Cheers to you.
    Glory to Ukraine.
    Just a footnote: The 1st December 1640, Portugal restored its sovereignty which had been usurped by the spaniards. For 40 years my people was ruled by a cruel dynasty of 3 kings filipe's of spain.
    Last Thursday, Portugal celebrates its Independence day with a national holiday - the most important one to my Portuguese identity.
    I will celebrate Ukraine's Independence Day with same joy and pride. Always.

    I'm second generation Ukr-American. My grandparents and their immigrant friends always called it a "Babushka" (headscarf), which many confuse with "Babushka" (Grandmother). For the headscarf the stress (udarenie) is on the second syllable - ba-BU-shka. For Grandma, the stress is on the first syllable - BA-bu-shka.

    Yay! You make it look *so much easier* than some of the videos I've seen, Anna, thank you! This was a fun vlog, and it made me smile plus, I noticed you seemed to be having fun showing us all. That's the spirit!
    I can try this now, thanks to you! 🙏
    I really like the deep red (burgundy) coloured shawl on you. Though they all are beautiful and with such vibrant coloured flowers. I've seen a few videos of brides being dressed for traditional Ukrainian weddings. It really is quite an art for those special occasions, and so wonderful. As are the wedding traditions. But for everyday headwear, aren't these shawls charming! The smaller type I think we'd call headscarves here in the UK. My mother used to always wear a black lace headscarf for church. It was just a triangle that dad had brought over with him during the war. I heard one story that Ukrainian mothers, back in those days, would give their sons a scarf of theirs, sometimes embroidered ones or squares that were embroidered, to keep with them to see their safe return home from war. Maybe you could enlighten us if this is something you have knowledge of.
    I don't have traditional Ukrainian shawls, it's intentional (kind of) as I wanted to choose my own when I visit Ukraine/my family for the first time ever. Hence, Ukraine better win fast - haha! Perhaps I could get one to tide me over for the colder days we are getting here now? (in the minuses this week they say)! Ferrari... just as you said that I was thinking of a lady in an open-top sports car, like the Hollywood movie stars used to.
    I did rather like the one where you tucked the second tail-end under your chin and into the opposite side. You do look so elegant in all of those styles, Anna.
    Vinók... now there's another interesting thing. My gosh, some of those are incredibly ornate and beautiful. I've seen some amazing photographs of those!
    Sorry, long comment, I get excited when it's anything clothing-related. I used to make my own clothes for individuality, and I sometimes 'tweak' my clothes for that same reason. (I used to get called 'quirky' for doing that). 🤭🤗
    Stay warm, safe, and well, dear friend, and thank you so much for this vlog... молодець!

    You set a template for all the world about the strongest possible suite of weaponry against those who think there could be something above freedom and peace:

    - character - authenticity - humble pride and disarming smile.

      to @joey55 😏likewise!
      Anna is a curious chemistry of body politic, sardonic humour and yet love/warmth.
      Always educational! 💚

    You are awesome! Your government should hire you as a cultural ambassador. I think Ukraine will need a spokesperson like you help secure international international funding for reconstruction, after your victory. Your positivity and strength are inspirational, and you remind me of how blessed I am when having a bad day. Thank you.

    Anna, thanks again for another informative video. Where I live I've never seen what you showed us. At least nothing so beautifully decorated worn in the ways you demonstrated. There are shawls and scarfs but somewhat different. In my church there is a needlework group. They mostly do crocheting and knitting. And they make prayer shawls. The makers pray as they make the shawls. These are gifts mostly for people in hospitals and nursing homes. Those places can be chilly and patients or residents might not be physically very active. I've mostly seen them just worn over the shoulders but also sometimes draped over the head too. These are gifts of love.

    I love this Anna. The first scarf really suits your skin tone and lip colour. I love the last style with the bubbles. If you have some small clear elastic bands they will hold the bubbles in place and you can’t see them. You will look beautiful whichever one you wear!

    The starting folds are very similar to what we do here in America with bandanas, but clearly you can do so much more with the larger fabric. Right now my bandana is on the table next to me, and I'm staring at it like it's done something wrong, as if maybe it's cheated on me while holding so much back... Or maybe I am going to cheat on it? It's tempting... I guess it just wasn't enough all along, and I had no idea what I was missing. Time now to move on to (literally) bigger and better things. As soon as I get my hands on a real shawl like that I'm going to be the prettiest man in town and no one can stop me, meanwhile all the bandana people can just keep their jealousy. It's all thanks to you!

    Love the colorful floral patterns, adorning femininity. ~ I find traditional Ukrainian female dress so attractive, and headdresses are so very feminine! ~ Using shawls and playing with styles, comment you made, reminded me of what I noticed early in Putin barbaric WAR: all the women refugees, many carrying or accompanied by small children. And so many of the small children wore the cutest knit hats, if not with imitation ears, then a little ball on either side of the hat, almost like animal ears. The children looked so cute, many of them dressed in large-quilt-like body-suits, though terror-flight from WAR was very sad.
    Best Regards from Western America. 💐

    Anna, this made my day!! When I went home to see my parents and my daughter was 4, my Dad put a kerchief on her head as soon as he saw her. She still has it. She's 22 now. Growing up, it is something we always did. It's symbolic. A rite of passage. Young unmarried women can wear crowns of flowers, but married women cover their heads. I feel that marriage is a rite of passage, not just a fancy party and celebration. When you marry, you are fundamentally changed. I hope this makes sense. ❤️

    Reminds me of the Jewish tichel. Come to think of it, though, women from both sides of my family have analogues, though my Mexican half hasn't worn them in generations. I remember my great grandmother wearing them out sometimes, though...back in the late 70s. Anyway, keep bringing tthe lovely accessories!
    Edit: 7:08 - VERY golden age of Hollywood look! 😂
