Dres (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dres or dresiarz (plural dresy or dresiarze) is used in Poland to describe a certain subculture. Dresiarze are stereotypically found mostly in urban towerblocks, but can be found anywhere in Poland, and are portrayed as being unemployed. The term itself refers to the wearing of the tracksuit, which in Polish is known as the dres and according to the stereotype is a piece of clothing commonly worn by the dresiarze. The dresiarz subculture was first observed[citation needed] in the 1990s. It would later partially merge with the hooligan subcultures. Karks (Polish: 'karki' - "napes" and blokers (Polish: 'blokersi' "block-people") are related but not synonymous terms.
