Gallery of European traditional costumes & cultural uniforms ..2




Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland (includes Saami tribes)
All of Scandinavia wears a common or similar dress largely influenced by Denmark and Germany because of centuries of shared rule by the Danes (greatly influenced by their German relatives to the south). Finland's dress is related to the Swedish a common heritage springing from nearly 600 years of Swedish rule.








The Saami tribes of northern Scandinavia have a very unique dress of their own because of their isolation from Germanic culture to the south. Their ethnicity is the same.




Greece:

The Greek costume is highly unique, with no other country similar to it. Greeks are very proud of their military tradition, and treat these costume-donning regulars on the public squares of Athens with great respect.





Italy:
Italy's costumes are diverse, reflecting Italy's history as a nation seldom unified throughout its history, though its regions retain the same ethnicity and culture.






Ireland, Scotland, Wales:
Irish, Welsh, and Scottish costumes are unique in their shared attempt to praise their common Celtic heritage. The Scottish costume has more northern English influence.






Scottish costumes are famous and unique from Irish ones.







Welsh costumes are unique as a Celtic-rooted uniform with a unique hat.
