DeleteC'est une question qui se pose chaque année mais il me semble que je n'ai pas lu de réponse !
Yes, every year someone asks the same question.
DeleteBut sorry, I can't remember the explanation.
Tune in again next year to have a go at finding out “why”.
The royal court say the men usually don't wear folk costume.
DeleteOscar et Estelle sont charmants sur la 2e photo ! Paloma
ReplyDeleteWhy do the women have to wear these dowdy costumes and shoes and the men look smart in their suits.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Sweden costume guess thats why. Don't understand either why they use it, they all have folke costumes that are so much prettier.
Delete@16:51 as far as I know, this folk costume was created to represent the entire country, as opposed to the other ones that are specific to different regions, and to be inexpensive enough that anyone could buy one or recreate it.
DeleteI like the National Dress. This year it looked like less or somewhat down grated maybe I am wrong. css
