| On July 11, 2019, King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden attended presentation of Öland Inhabitant of the Year Award at Solliden Palace in Öland. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented the 2019 Solliden Award to nature expert Pav Johnsson. The Solliden Award (Swedish: Årets Ölänning) is given to a person who made a remarkable contribution or performance in a special field or who took actions or initiatives that promote the interests and development of the island or who made long-term efforts for the benefit of Öland. |

ReplyDelete-Elisabeth-
Beautiful costume. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they have any rules (like being single or married ) for wearing them ?
Anyone can wear the costume, but only married women can wear the headscarf that comes with it.
DeleteWomen don't HAVE to wear it, but they choose to. As for the kings of Norway and Sweden, I think there's a matter of tradition. They are more likely to wear some military uniform or some other type of formal attire, but it depends on the event. And also, the folk costumes are usually from rural areas and I don't think the upper class-men from the bigger cities would be caught dead in such attire. (just joking, but still true)
DeleteHowever, we've seen CP Haakon in folk costumes plenty of times. It's becoming more and more trendy for younger men to wear bunads here in Norway, but I don't know what the status quo is in Sweden.
Whoops, I replied to the wrong comment. Don't know what happened there, hehe... Sorry!
DeleteFélicitations au lauréat qui est vraiment charmant !!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is i like the other native costumes they wear that only married women wear the headdress.
ReplyDeleteWhy do the women have to wear the national costume, but the men do not? Does anyone know the answer?
ReplyDeleteBonjour, cela fait longtemps que je me pose cette question ; je n'ai jamais eu de réponse. J'aimerais bien voir à quoi ils ressembleraient ? Amicalement !!!
DeleteIt is the Öland folk dresses they are wearing. Beacuse of the award.
