1 Peru Culture By Allison Gee

2 Female Traditional Clothing In Peru lots of Women wear hats, llicllas, a small blanket, skirts and monteras, large blankets. Bright colors and geometric shapes are often found on traditional Peruvian clothing. Monteras are usually seen on a women’s back holding something important, whether it is a newly born infant or special supplies for dinner, monteras definitely serve a purpose. A llicllas are usually a petite red blanket that is worn around around a women’s shoulders. These llicllas may provide warmth or style for a women. Skirts are generally seen on women in Peru. However, some women, according to their village, wear polleras. These are colorful costumes that are worn to fiestas. Here in America most people wear hats on special occasions. Well, Peruvians, depending on your tribe, include a hat in their traditional dress. Picture Many people agree that Peruvian women are one of a kind in how they dress, because they have such bright and beautiful designs on their clothing. Men Traditional Clothing Peruvian traditional wear for men is mainly a sombrero, a poncho, and a challo. A sombrero is used as a hat to shield the men’s eyes from the sun. In many ways this helps the men when they are out working in the field or on a walk. Another one of the main authentic wear is the challo, a challo is a woven knit hat. An interesting fact about this is that the man’s father actually knits this one of a kind hat, not the wife or the mother. The reason for this is because that the father hopes that his sun will wear it forever, like a keep sake. Ponchos are like our raincoats, they are blanket like cloaks. Men’s pants are made from wool and they are a solid color. Even though the women in Peru don’t wear pants most of their outfits have geometric patterns. Unlike the women, the men don’t have geometric patterns on their pants. When the native americans were around Peruvian men used to wear these ensembles everyday, but now days they only wear these traditional clothes on special occasions such as fiestas.
