"Viking Style" Brouge lacing?

[EagleJCS]

I might want to wear knee-high striped gym socks, swim trunks, cowboy boots with spurs, a polo shirt with a bowtie, and a bandana on my head to church because these are all typical items worn in America, but then I would think to myself, "no, that would look stupid/inappropriate and this combination is one of those things that people in my country inherently understand is just not done."

And what's wrong with that outfit? I think I saw something like that this past summer.

<Just trying to insert a little levity.>


I rarely rely on any advertisements, online or otherwise, for guidance on how to wear specialized clothing. (And that's what we're talking about. Ethnic/cultural-based clothing.) Instead, I observe others wearing those garments and other people's reactions to them before I start investigating how to acquire some of my own. I also seek out and speak to (either in person or via a forum such as this) those that appear to be comfortable and well-practiced in wearing the clothing in question.

To each their own.

Wise words.
