Dressing for Dream Destinations: Russia
What to Wear in: Kazan
Kazan is the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan and the 6th largest city in Russia. It is known as the third capital of Russia and is one of its oldest cities (founded in 1005). Most of the population is comprised of an ethnic minority called the Tatars and the city is a blend of Tatar and Slavic culture.
Kazan is home to several splendid mosques and imposing fortresses. Tatar cuisine is very unique and reflective of the different Asian and Soviet influences. Kazan deserves a visit just to sample the variety of dishes and desserts they offer. In fact, they have an entire museum dedicated to chak-chak, a delicious sweet consisting of fried bread rolled into small balls and drenched in honey.
Although you may be visiting a mosque, they often provide you a free cloak to wear that will cover your legs and shoulders. Therefore, you can dress as you normally would if you’d like. Generally, you can’t go wrong with a sturdy boot and trench coat. A soft sweater dress will let you eat as much as you’d like and still have you feeling comfortable!
