What is el salvador traditional clothing?
Do you mean attire? Well...
In El Salvador's traditional past, fashionable women could be seen wearing blouses with short, puffy sleeves. Tight skirts covered their curvy figures while bright colored cloths protected their heads.
Traditional dresses were based on a cotton skirt. Beneath the skirt was worn a petticoat decorated with ruffles around the hem. Skirts were worn at ankle length, modestly covering the legs. Topping the skirt was a long-sleeved lace blouse buttoned up to the neck.
Each region had its own colors and styles for women's dresses. In La Union, a gorgeous red and blue dress called the "Yucualqueña" was worn. On the west coast, the "Xuc" was a blue and white dress that is still popular in some parts today. In the central zone of El Salvador, the "Pueblerina" was a simple and elegant style. In the capital, San Salvador, a folklore dress called the "Panchas," which had a yellow strip, was the garment of the city's single women.
Traditionally, men wore white pants made of cotton with a light-colored or white shirt. To protect their heads from the sun, they wore large hats made of palm leaves. For footwear, sandals were worn to keep the feet protected and cool at the same time.
Lace-covered shirts called guayaberas were worn on formal occasions. These shirts can still be seen worn at formal parties, weddings and special events.
Because of the climate, men in El Salvador are less likely to "suit up" and are more commonly seen in dress shirts and slacks in professional environments. Lighter colors dominate the wardrobe to keep from drawing excessive heat. In casual situations, jeans and T-shirts are common, as are informal button-down shirts.
It is a mistake to believe that the flowery dresses sold to the tourist in El Salvador are actually worn by women in their daily affairs. In Mexico, the majority of people do not wear sombreros and ponchos and ride on a donkey. So too in El Salvador, the traditional attire is part of the history and celebration of the culture but not a daily part of the Salvadorans' lifestyle.
