Breton costume

Breton costume is the style of clothing worn by the Bretons (people in Brittany, the Celtic region of France) as formal wear or festive clothing. Everyday versions are less varied, although some are decorated according to profession or location.

Traditional Breton costume around 1900

Since the late twentieth century, the traditional dress is almost always worn during special religious events (pardons) and cultural events involving Celtic Circles; leading to the "Breton costume" becoming "folk costume" of the region.
