Chinook men didn't usually wear clothing at all, though some men wore a breech-clout or a piece of fur or cape. Women wore short skirts made of cedar bark or grass. In the rain, the Chinooks wore capes made of rushes, and in colder weather, they wore fur robes and moccasins on their feet. Later, after European influence, some began wearing blankets as robes. Both men and women sometimes wore a basket-hat made of finely woven spruce tree roots. The Chinooks sometimes painted their faces, using different designs for war, religious ceremonies, and mourning, and women also wore tribal tattoos in geometric designs. Most Chinook people wore their hair long and loose, although some women adopted other fashions, like braids, from neighboring tribes.

William Clark (of the Lewis and Clark expedition) wrote of their attire upon meeting the Chinooks: "all go litely dressed ware nothing below the waist in the coldest weather, a piece of fur around their bodies and a short robe composes the sum total of their dress, except a few hats, and beads about their necks arms and lets."
