Aztec


What kind of clothing did the ancient aztecs wear?

Aztecs would wear maguey clothing, loin cloth, a long strip of cloth tied in front, a cloak, clothes that were more adorned and elaborate, skirts, tilmas, but it depended in which social class they were in.

WHO wore those kind of clothing?

Slaves wore a simple loincloth, common people would also wear it but it was made out of a long strip of cloth tied in front, the men would wear a cloak made from a triangular cloth known as tilmas, the upper class wore the clothes that were more adorned, the merchants would wear more elaborate clothing, and the military had their own costumes, but if they were was hero, they would wear jewelry and more stunning clothing.

HOW did they make their clothing?
Spinning, weaving, and dyeing were all crafts to the aztecs. They would make clothes from imported cotton fibers, which is from maguey cactus. The fibers would be pulled from the plant and would be spun into thread or yarn.

WHY didn't their clothing cover their whole body?
