Although, the fashion trends are closer tied to Europe. Casual dress is normal for everyday wear. Dressing up for dinning, or going out to dinner or special events, is more formal than the rest of Europe. Old women usually wear dresses or trousers. Younger women wear a tall black hat, white blouse, checkered wool skirt, and red flannel shawl.
