In the past, Aborigines wore very little or nothing at all, even in cold regions such as Tasmania. In colder areas, they might wear kangaroo or possum skins, but mostly they covered themselves with ochre and animal fat.

The Aborigines did wear various kinds of personal ornaments such as arm and head bands, necklaces, and bracelets. These were usually made from shells, bones, animal teeth and claws, or bits of feather and fur.

Once Europeans arrived and contact was made between the cultures, Aborigines adopted clothing styles of basic, tent-like dresses for the women and trousers and shirt for the men. This occurred from the early 1800s in areas where there was most contact and interaction between whites and blacks.
