Here's what Icelandic men and women wore while riding to church around
1840. The women, in riding chairs, wear faldbúningur, a style worn from
the 1600s to mid 1800s. The women are wearing two types of hat; the one
with the curved top piece is unique to Iceland. The men wore
pantaloons or breeches. Source is an engraving by Paul Gaimard, found on
Wikipedia.
