3 Main Categories in Mexican Clothing

Basically, we can group the garments into three major categories which are:

Traditional Mexican Clothing
Modern Mexican Clothing
Celebration Dresses and Costumes

We will have a quick glance through. Traditional Mexican clothing is sought after by quite a number of people from around they world because of its coolness, comfort and beautiful embroidery.

Traditional Mexican Clothing

History has evolved the traditional Mexican clothing (link to more detailed information) into a piece which combined native and European elements. Mexicans loved using cotton, bark and agave ( a type of filament native Mexican pre-Hispanic civilizations used to make clothes. ) as their thread. Wool and silk were then introduced to them by the Spanish.

Before aniline dyes were introduced by European, Mexican clothing was dyed with the natural components extracted from local plants.

In Makah, different pattern and designs of clothes were used to represent the status and family relations. Traditional Mexican clothing came in various forms to serve the same purpose. It was differentiated by gender, ethnic group and social status.

Hence, women clothing differed from men as to native clothing differed from “mestizo” clothing. The examples of typical women clothing were skirts, “huipile” ( sleeve-less tunic ), “quechquémitl” ( closed shoulder cape ) and “rebozo” ( shawl ).

Traditional Mexican men clothing was highly influenced by the European. Trousers and shirts were made of European garments. A large blanket cape called “Serape” was the only native element. The men, more often than not, wore Mexican boots in their daily lives.

Modern Mexican Clothing

If you have been to Mexico, you would have found out the clothes worn by the people in major cities are similar to what we wear. In the process of globalization, youngsters in the big cities have jumped on the bandwagon of worldwide urban fashion. They love wearing loud-colored cotton t-shirts, jeans and snickers.

However, you could still see modern clothes which blend in with native element in smaller towns. It is the color that gives the impression. People in the small towns prefer earth-like colors, like dark red and brown, though you could still find bright green and sharp yellow constituting the color palette of the clothes.

Other types of Mexican Clothing

Mexican celebration dresses and costumes are attractive clothing to know too. Various types of costumes are used for every special date in the calendar. Typical clothes and accessories which include the popular Mexican Sombrero are the must-have in the national celebrations.

Another interesting type of suit known as “Charro”, made popular by the famous musical ensembles called the Mariachis, is used in the religious Day of the Death.

All in all, Mexican clothing and the culture are in close lineage but this also holds true for many cultures.

I hope you find this article resourceful to you.
