British country clothing, sometimes referred to as English country clothing, is a distinctive and enduring style of dress that has its roots in the traditional rural attire of the United Kingdom. It is heavily influenced by traditional country sports, such as equestrian pursuits, shooting or fishing, along with more leisurely outdoor activities like walking, picnicking, or gardening.
Although often associated with the archetypal image of an English country lady or gentleman, the style is worn throughout the United Kingdom and draws on traditions and materials from across the British Isles. Scottish tweeds, Welsh wool, and Irish linens all play a significant role in shaping its character.
