We note some Norwegian folk costumes which appear to be bright vests, white shirts, black knickers and white stockings. The indigenous people of Norway and
the rest of northwestern Europe are the Lapps. Their attire has been affected by their Arctic environment. It has also influenced Norwegian fashions and clothing.

Christmas or confirmations. It comprises a white cotton shirt with collar and cuff details and cufflinks (front of shirt is fastened with press studs, it is a "grandpa" type
shirt that slips over the head). A key feature is a brocade vest with velvet trim. The knickers are a bit longer than knee length) pants with buttons at cuff and shoulder straps with button closure (which could be adjusted to 3 different lengths).
