When traveling in Ukraine, when is it appropriate to wear the traditional Vyshyvanka?

And the answer is: wear it whenever you feel like it, wherever you feel like it, and however you feel like wearing it

Vyshivanka has become sort of a symbol of the latest Ukrainian revolution and symbol of Ukraine’s resistance, however, in its core it is a piece of clothing.

There is historical significance to this but it has been mostly ignored by the population and had even been turned into high fashion

Given that you’re a foreigner wearing one may give it a connotation of your support for the Ukrainian struggle but whether you choose to look at it that way is entirely up to you.

P.S. Personally I have a few of those including traditionally made as well as currently manufactured in a form of a t-shirt.
