In 2018, at the same time as Tiril Kaar was mulling over the style of their Norwegian folk dress, Swedish artist Fredy Clue was thinking about culottes. Clue, who also uses they and them pronouns, was searching for their own space in the Swedish folk culture. Eventually, as the trouser skirt became the basis for the design of a non-binary Swedish folk dress, they realised that they, too, were non-binary. "My inner self spoke through my ideas," Clue tells BBC Culture.

Clue developed the Bäckadräkten unisex folk dress with the help of artist Ida Björs. The two studied historical clothes designs, travelled to the folk-culture-rich province of Hälsingland, and ran a focus group with five young, non-binary people

Mods pull if too controversial

Scandinavians should certainly have the right to wear clothing.’

Perhaps limit the women to short skirts and peasant blouse that emphasize their assets or bikinis. But let them wear something.

Nah. Even all gussied up in my bonnie Prince Charlie for the purposes of torturning people along the parade route with the squeeze bags and drums, my fellow pipers and I still look manly. (Wear it at formal occasions, too. Chicks dig it.)

The Scandinavian dude just looks like he's wearing a dress.

My first thought was that there would be SO many better ways to fill out that outfit. It is supposedly Scandinavian. Scandinavian women should generally be a good fit.

The native Swedes might as well have their fun now. Because when the Muslims take over and institute Sharia law, clothing options will become more limited.

However, still might be choices available.

Side point: Dr. Peter Hammond did a study on this. The tipping point occurs once Muslims reach about 5% of the population. Sweden is now around 8% Muslim.

Parts of Scotland were under Norse rule in the Middle Ages. Maybe the Scots got the idea of the kilt from the Norse.
