yeah im obviously aware that they didnt wear the poofy stuff every day, afaik the poofy was for parades and festivals and that is the only time theyre worn these days. it was supposed to be for special occasions. most old ass family pics of ours have dudes in straight up stalin lookin gear :stalin-gun-2:
Fair. I've worn historical style stuff in the past and was kind of a nerd about it. So I guess I find it a little sad when people don't see the value in it. Historical clothing construction is pretty solid and comfortable in its own way.
yeah my thing is its super expensive, even with me buying it in USD, to get one and id probably go with my father's birth city cause their style looks way less fuckin weird cause they were a bunch of country bumpkins that dont design good
usually you get it as a sort of coming of age gift by your weird grandparents and its a whole ordeal
Norwegians are really into their national dress and it is not unusual, especially for women, to own one. It is usually gifted when they are confirmed as teenagers and is made to last a lifetime and can be rather pricey. Many Norwegians wears their national dress for festive occasions like weddings instead of modern attire. In Denmark national dress is virtually nonexistent outside of folk dancing circles and it has a dusty and unsexy image. The Faroese and the Inuit of Kalaallit Nunaat sometimes wears national dress at state functions as a way to assert their identity to their colonial overlords.
