Tradition clothes in England.

England is a country with many ethnic traditions. They are followed from generation to generation. However, England hasn’t its specific national suit. But people of different professions have certain styles of clothing.

For example, farmers often wear felt hats. Dockers in ports put on tie motley kerchiefs on their necks. In business quarters it is possible even to see clerks who follow the old traditions. Trousers with stripes, a jacket, a high white collar, a hat in the form of a kettle on the head, a black umbrella in hands are their tradition. Lawyers and judges during the process put on cloaks and medieval wigs. In some schools special clothing is adopted. At the oldest English universities the professors and students wear black cloaks with red linings and quadrangular hats of black colour.
