Wales and Scotland each have a national costume, although there is no English one. Welsh national dress is seen on such occasions as the annual Llangollen Eisteddfod.- Women wear full skirts, laced bodices, colourful shawls and a specific tall crowned black hat, while men have bright waistcoats and flat black hats. The Scottish Highland dress, worn by both sexes and based on each clans distinctive tartan, is considered the Scottish national dress. For men it includes a tweed jacket, a tartan kilt and tartan stockings. Womens dress is similar, but with a tartan skirt in place of the kilt. Scottish costume is worn at many national events, such as the Highland Games, but also for everyday use by some Scots. A form of dress similar to the Scottish one is also worn by the Irish on ceremonial or formal occasions, showing the common Celtic and historical link between the two peoples. Members of particular professions and occupations wear special dress. Among those considered as distinctively British are the dark blue helmet and uniform of the policeman, the ceremonial red tunics and busbies of some army regiments, the sixteenth-century scarlet uniform of the Beefeaters, the gown and quot;mortarboardquot; of university students, and the wigs worn by judges. To this one could add the bowler hat, pin-striped trousers and rolled umbrella that were at one time almost a uniform for civil servants and City businessmen.
