A tubular skirt made from a single piece of fabric, worn traditionally in South Pacific and Southeast Asian cultures, especially in Fiji.
From Fijian language, referring to the traditional wraparound garment. The word entered English through contact with Pacific Island cultures in the 18th-19th centuries.
The sulu is so practical for tropical climates that it became the official national dress of Fiji—one garment is literally the identity of a nation.
