Rural clothes vs. folk costumes

edit
Main article: bunad

Bunad is a Norwegian umbrella term encompassing a range of both traditional rural clothes mostly dating to the 19th and 18th centuries as well as 20th-century folk costumes. In its narrow sense, the word bunad refers only to clothes designed in the early 20th century that are loosely based on traditional costumes. The word bunad is in itself a 20th-century invention.

The Sami people use their distinctive traditional costumes, especially on festive occasions. Kven people also have their traditional Finnish inspired clothing.
