Today’s subject is clothing, fashions, and national dress. You have your paper and pencils, so please draw an outfit you imagine will be worn in 100 years from now.
I suppose they must have had their reasons for it, centuries ago. Maybe it comes from a time when they had to show what land they came from, and the other countries could recognise it?
Crete seem to adhere to of you got em, flaunt them.
So many dresses for men. And none seem to require all the material a kilt needs.
Thanks, Pete. Great post
from what I know of the upper grades, beyond kindergarten, they continue to teach history and culture, and geography, along with some of the clothing, but don’t know that it is a huge focus of the learning. I just remember loving it
Quite a variety there, Pete. Many of them seem to be variations on the same theme, but a few stand out like, er, the chests of the ancient Cretans [care taken with the spelling there] 😉 Cheers, Jon.
When I was at Primary School, (1957-1963) we were taught about national dress in foreign countries and the attire worn throughout history. I wonder if that still happens today?
Adam: “I don’t give a fig about fashion.”
Eve: “I always figured you to be old-fashioned!”

You can draw any outfit you like, Liz. It just has to be futuristic. 😉
Best wishes, Pete.

National dress has always fascinated me. How do we come up with clothing that is so impractical? And so varid.

When you live in a hot country like Crete, you don’t have to wear a lot of clothes, Don.

Those traditions must have evelved over the centuries, I suppose. And in hot countries, you didn’t need to wear much clothing.
Best wishes, Pete.

how interesting – like you, Pete. I learned some of this while in elementary school, when we were learning about different regions of the world

Do you know if that is still being taught today, Beth? My grandson is 9, and he doesn’t seem to know much about it. (Clothing that is)
Best wishes, Pete.
