Choir uniforms have varied widely from country to country. Most choirs once had destinctive national costumes. The choirs have both traveling clothes an performance costumes. Some are obvious. Boys in Lederhosen indicate that the choir is German. And we see a Honolylu chour that is unambiouosly Hawaian. Most choirs are in Europe and North America and Europe, but there are choirs in others areas as well. Many choirs are associated with specifc schools and thus wear the uniform at the school. British choirs have thus worn blazers, white shirts, ties, and short pants, although most have now switched to long pants. Choir costumes have in recent years become much less destinctive. Many choirs now perform in blazers and slacks, with the primary difference the color of the blazer. Britain has had a major impact on school unifo\rm trends, This mnakes it difficult to tell the nationality of many choirs wearing school type uniformns. Choirs in some countries have avoided national dress. We do not, for example, see Japanese choirs wearing Japanese traditional outfits.
