Have you ever worn your ethnic group's traditional attire?

As my grandfather found about our linage, I think I can look up my viking helmet and war axe I guess.

I'd love to take a photo with someone dressed like that

Don't have an attire of my own so I've only attempted to wear my father's. Unfortunately he only had one from when he was really young and it was far too small for me to fit into.

I recently discovered that I am 3% Jewish, so I believe I am entitled to wear a kippah now. Also, I am Hawaiian and Scottish, so I shall eat haggis wearing a leafy kilt.

Edit: I would also wear a bagpipe and ukulele. Why? Reasons ...

so u are genetically very very mixed right? i think there's a proper word for someone like you, it's starts with B_ _ _ _ _d lol

I'm second generation British-Bangladeshi (i.e. the first gen born here) and I have. It's been awkward to wear especially as we dress 'western' pretty much all the time. I imagine my perspective would be different if I were a woman who wear saris and the like. For example, go to a wedding, most men will be wearing formal wear and the women will be wearing saris.

@emigre
i remember during the last british monarch's wedding, and there were many royal soldier of her highness attempted parade and i saw some of them are Indians, with unfitted sense royalty and pride, obviously they can be spotted easily cauz they were rearing the traditional attire and indian's orange round hat.
I'm really curious to know how can they be so proud to serve that royal family who literally ordered to colonize, pillage, kill and enslave India??

I can honestly say I've never worn a bowler hat and pinstripe suit with a brolly under my arm while drinking tea and talking about the weather.

Honestly, people's thoughts on this really fluctuate on person to person. I've met people from a similar background (i.e. family origins from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) who are very patriotic and others from the opposite scale. It's very complex, especially to people's identity. Personally, I believe in abolishing the monarchy whereas my Mum absolutely loves them.

MAN, U know, it's like asking a Chinese to serve at japanese's imperial army, or even jew to protect a nazi, which i found it very... irrational.

Well. I'm my own ethnic group, and I wear loafers and hoodies. So forget that.

 

[gameboy]

Like every year, I'll be wearing my complete Canadian attire. Including the beard, the beaver tuque, and a log between my legs.

 

[SAIYAN48]

I once wore a toga for a play. Looked pretty damn good.

 

[DinohScene]

No.
Don't intend to neither.
