Travel Info Which is national dress of uk? Travel Tips bowler hat and umbrella Others The Queen's Well the Welsh, Irish and Scots have their own national dress, as for the English - what about a morris dancing outfit? I dont think there is one. My daughter has been invited to school for everyone to wear their national dress, I have explained to her we don't really have one now, although dressing up in your sunday best for church was deemed ok http://www.britainusa.com/sections/artic... MC The UK is a union of countries Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There is no official national dress for the UK as a whole and England does not have a national dress either. Scotland - Today traditional dress for men in Scotland is a kilt with shirt, waistcoat and tweed jacket, stockings with garter flashes, brogue shoes and a sporran. A bonnet is often worn displaying the clan crest. Traditionally ladies don't wear kilts, they do however wear dresses or pleated skirts in a tartan material. More often though they wear a light plaid or shawl of tartan material, Wales - Welsh National dress is relatively young and not as famous as Scottish National dress. Still they do have a National costume, but it's the way the ladies dress that is most well known, in fact there isn't really a National costume for men although recently through the rise of nationalism in Wales a tartan has been created and tartan trousers or kilts are often worn. For the ladies the typical Welsh costume consists of a hat, made of black felt, with a high crown and wide brim, which is worn over a lace cap. A red flannel shawl is worn over a crisp white blouse, and a full skirt made of wool with a black and white check pattern and a starched, white apron. Proper Welsh ladies always wore black woolen stockings and black shoes and carried a basket, made from willow withies. Ireland - With the revival of Irish dancing, the traditional Irish costume has become associated with the bright flamboyant costumes worn by traditional Irish dancers. However in ancient Ireland people were more likely to be seen wearing 'leine' (Irish for shirt), trews (Irish for trousers) and long cloaks fastened with a brooch. England - Unfortunately the English don't really have a traditional National Dress |
