Knysna is a modern, multicultural town and does not have its own traditional costume. However, the Khoisan people, who are indigenous to the region, have a unique costume made from animal skins, beads and other natural materials. The Xhosa people, who also live in the region, have their own costume, which includes a colorful, patterned fabric called shweshwe. Overall, Knysna residents tend to dress casually and wear comfortable clothing suitable for warm weather and outdoor activities.
