Clothing

The Celts had many different fashions over the years of their lives. I am going to talk about the most recent fashion.

The men would wear big baggy trousers with a string at the end of each leg. The string got tightened when they were wearing them. This was to keep them from dragging along the ground and then they did not get ruined or ripped so easily. Then on the top part of their body they wore a short type of apron that they tied around their waist and then they were dressed.

The women wore a long skirt that was tightened around the waist and this kept it on them. and their top half they wore a poloneck t-shirt and if they were grandmothers they had to wear a big neck thing that covered their head and protected them. If you were not a grandmother you would just wear your hair plaited.

The Celts made all their clothes out of the materials they harvested.
