There is also a costume called hakana which is worn by men. When the Japanese wear these outfits, they also wear thongs made of straw or rush which are called zori. Mexican men mainly wear white shirts and pants made of cotton. To keep warm most Mexicans wear wool blankets called serape. Most of the serape are hand woven and their colourful patterns are very old.
Mexican women wear cotton skirts and blouses.
These clothes are often decorated with embroidery. People also drape shawls around their heads and across their shoulders for warmth and protection from the sun. These shawls can also be used to carry small packages and children. Men wear a shirt and women wear a long sleeved blouse with the skirt. Women in the city wear scarves around their shoulders and on their heads.
