Instructions: Read
carefully the next text about Mexican clothing and answer the exercises below.
Traditional Mexican clothing combines native and European elements. The fibers of choice among the
Mexicans are cotton, bark and agave (which were
known and used by native Mexican pre-Hispanic civilizations to make their
clothes), as well as wool and
silk (introduced by the Spanish later).
In the past, Mexican
clothing was dyed with natural components found in local plants, but as soon as
aniline dyes were brought from Europe they became the first dying choice.
We can find
traditional Mexican clothing in many varieties, and it can be distinguished by
gender, by social status and by ethnic group. For instance, garments worn by
women differ from those worn by men, and native clothing is different to “mestizo”
clothing.
Typical women
clothing includes a skirt, a “huipil”
(a kind of sleeve-less tunic), a “quechquémitl”
(a closed shoulder cape) and a “rebozo”
(a kind of shawl).
Mexican clothing for
men is mostly “European-like”, which means that both the trousers and the shirt
are European garments, and possibly the only native addition to the men’s
wardrobe is a large blanket cape, called “Sarape”. Men often wear Mexican boots too.
As for Mexican
clothing used on celebrations, we can find a different
costume for almost every special day of the year. National festivities are
celebrated with typical clothes and accessories (including the famous Mexican
Sombrero). Some special days like the Day of the Death are closely related to religion, and that can
be seen on the costumes too. During the Carnival, the Mexican clothing of
choice is the “Charro” suit,
popularized by the famous musical ensembles known as the Mariachis.
