Mexican Mexico
Mexican Clothing
Modern Mexican clothing has a great deal in common with modern North American culture. Mexican clothing in the modern world features the usual standbys, such as shorts, jeans, shirts, and sneakers. Lighter clothing is typically the choice, both in color and style, because of the sometimes oppressive equatorial heat. Mexican clothing typically does not differ much from American clothing in modern times.
Traditional Mexican clothing, however, varies greatly from the norms of other North American cultures. Blending the influences of Native American and European styles, traditional Mexican clothing is very distinctive. Traditional Mexican clothing emerges on a wide variety of holidays. The Day of the Dead is the biggest of these traditional holidays. Traditional Mexican clothing combines Spanish heritage with pre-Spanish influences. Of that ensemble, the Sombrero probably provides the most recognizable icon.
Other easily recognizable elements of the traditional Mexican garb include the “charro” suit, frequently seen when worn by mariachis. Originating with pre-Spanish culture, the charro suit also has religious roots. The charro suit is very popular at a variety of Mexican events. Other traditional Mexican clothing includes a mixture of European influenced outfits, with a dash of colonial Mexico mixed in. These outfits can typically be traced in their influence to imperial Spain. Mostly unchanged in their style, these Mexican outfits usually feature an added cape or hat for extra effect.
The sarape is another common Mexican clothing feature. A brightly colored scarf with a fringe, the sarape is collected both on a vintage basis and produced new. The sarape combines Mayan culture with the Mexican poncho. The sarape can be found primarily in the state of Coahuila, and sold to city dwellers, as well as tourists passing through.
The rebozo is also a well known Mexican article of clothing, worn most often by women. Usually produced in vibrant colors, the rebozo is most commonly used as a shawl or scarf, and can range in price widely, as it is produced for both comfort and style. These are just a couple of the popular items in Mexican clothing.
