Peikkoasu Courses

Peikkoasu (literally: troll outfit) is a form of dressing up in traditional Finnish garb, often with a humorous twist. It has become popular among young Finns in the last decade, who often use the term to refer to dressing up in traditional clothing with a contemporary edge. This playful style of dressing up is rooted in Finland's pre-industrial past and has been modernized to reflect current fashion trends. Think bright fabrics, bold pattern mixing, and plenty of accessories! The focus is often on mismatched textures and colors, as well as creative layering of different pieces. An important part of the style is personal expression, allowing the wearer to express their own identity. Peikkoasu often features adaptations of traditional items such as geometric and floral prints, farmer's jackets, and vests. It also utilizes items from modern fashion like long boots, chunky jewelry and oversized bags. The overall look is designed to be eye-catching yet comfortable. The mix of traditional Finnish and modern fashion has become increasingly popular among young people in Finland, particularly among those who want to add a unique twist to their dress. Peikkoasu has become part of a nationwide trend and is gaining in popularity both in Finland and abroad.
