Is there a NEW English national dress?

[SK.news.DE]

Yes there is. It's been designed by Gok Wan and has a very modern cultural theme. The main colours are red and purple, but with a vivid mix of ethnic style. It represents the country's past and present, so no one should be left out.

England had to wait for a Chinese man to design a national costume? Now thats hilarious!!

[Booldawg]

No he's English - he only LOOKS Chinese.

Not so hilarious SK.news because the info is wrong.
Here is the English National dress (not made up-not Chinese).

Whats this English dress malarky all about? None of us weaer clothes like that.

[Scyld]

Try it then.It's smart,it's warm and it resonates with what our ancestors wore,although it is personalised by the ornamentation added by each wearer, so it doesn't look mass produced and tacky like so many manufactured clothes.

I am a New Zealander and I have been watching this theme. It is National Dress because the English are a Nation of People and and this is basically Anglo-Saxon dress. The tunic is shorter and more modern.

I like it.
