It is
interesting to me to know more about
national dresses of both countries.Every culture has own specilarities.
I will begin from England.England
does not have national dress but does have a clothes culture.There are awide
choice of different types. A far better choice for an English national dress
would be to choose from our many customs and traditions we have in England.
There are a wide variety of costumes from the spectacular ceremonies associated
with monarchy to the traditional costumes worn by morris dancers and others at
English country fairs.
Parts of
Britain have national clothes.For example Wales and Scotland
In Scotland the national dress is a
kilt
The kilt is
worn around the waist
One of the
most famous national costumes in the world is that worn in Scotland, the kilt,
however some people say that the kilt is not as traditional as some would have
it. Be that as it may it is certainly what people associate with 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
The Welsh national costume regarded as national dress is based on clothing worn by Welsh countrywomen during the early nineteenth century, whch was a striped flannel petticoat, worn under a flannel open-fronted bedgown, with an apron, shawl and kerchief or cap. Style of bedgown varied, with loose coat-like gowns, gowns with a fitted bodice and long skirts and also the short gown, which was very similar to a riding habit style
Kazakh woman traditionally wore a dress with a waistcoat. Generally, outerwear of women was similar to that of men: similar jackets, waistcoats, gowns, wide leather belts, it differed from men's only in colours and some decoration details.Headwear of Kazakh women, similar to many other nationalities, was also a kind of indicator of their marital status. Headwear of married women differed in different tribal groups, but girls' headwear was comparatively similar throughout the territory of Kazakhstan. Girls used to wear hats of two types: skull cap (Takiya) and a warm hat (Borik), decorated with otter, fox or beaver fur. A tuft of owl feather was often sewed to the top of takiya for decoration purposes, which also played a role of a talisman. Gimp, tassels, gold embroidery and even silver coins were also used for decoration.Kazakh men used to wear different skullcaps (takiya), summer and winter hats. Summer hat - kalpak was sewed from thin felt, mostly white, and had a specific ancient cut. Borik and tymak were worn in winter. Tymak is a warm winter hat with earflaps and neck flaps made from fox, which is popular among Kazakh men even nowadays.Bashlyk is another national headwear, made of camel cloth, which was supposed to be worn on top of other hats, to protect from dust, sun, rain and snow
