(Part 1)

Read on to find out more about some uniquely European items of clothing used in some European countries traditionally.

Kilt

Do men or boys wear skirts?😮 In Scotland, they sometimes do!😂 The kilt is a knee-length skirt that originated in the Scottish Highlands in early 18th century.

The kilt is made up of thick, woolen cloth with a checked pattern, and comes in a variety of colours.

Today, Scots wear the kilt on special occasions like weddings, funerals and sports events. It has also been adapted for casual wear and as sportswear for both men and women.

Flamenco dress

A traditional brightly- long dress with lots of ruffles, the flamenco dress originated in Southern Spain in the late 19th century.

The flamenco dress is usually fitted on top, and flared at the bottom. It has strong colours, and it can be plain or patterned. Women usually wear the dress with a shawl over the shoulders.😎 😎

Today, the flamenco dress is worn by dancers, as well as during festivals and special occasions. It is also frequently seen in fashion shows, as fashion designers continue to be inspired by the beautiful dress. 👀
