For work, school, play and everyday life, people dress just like in the US. But the folkloric tradition is as follows:

The most common for men is the "Liquiliqui" . . . an all-white suit-like, with a high neckline. Search Simon Diaz, he is almost always dressed this way in formal pictures. A variation is white pants and a white shirt with a red scarf tied around the neck in a triangle, that falls on the shoulder/back. There are other simplistic "campesino" outfits, but they all wear "apargatas" ~ a sandle of sorts, black yarn on the top and rubber/leather sole.

For women, the formal dress is a colorful, full flowing skirt, cut on the bias, an off the shoulder blouse, with one layer of ruffle across the chest and shoulders and a pony-tail to the side with a habiscus flowers in the hair, near the ear. The skirt length varies from tea-length to floor legnth; but it is always full/wide and you hold the sides in your hands, stretched out or on the hips. The variation includes printed skirts and colorful blouses.

There are other indiginous and farmers clothing.
