    The Aztec's way of dressing reflected their social class, gender, role in society, age, and religion. Ordinary people and slaves wore simple loincloths made of maguey plant fiber that covered little of their bodies, while the noble class and religious leaders wore more ornate clothing made of cotton in addition to loincloths, skirts, and tilmas. Men typically wore a loincloth called a maxtl as underwear, while women generally wore skirts called cueitl secured with a band and a sleeveless blouse called a huipilli.

    WAY OF DRESSING

    •
    The clothes were an expression
    of many things for the Aztecs.
    His way of life, social class,
    gender, his role in society, age
    and even religion were reflected
    in his clothes.

    The plebeyos • Upper class

    The ancient Aztecas clothes of ordinary


    people and slaves sometimes covered
    very little of their bodies. The rule was
    to wear clothes made of maguey, and
    not cotton. The slaves wore only a
    simple loincloth.
    Of course, the noble class and the religious leaders
    wore much more ornate clothing, although they
    also wore the tilmas, loincloths and skirts.
    Aztecas men's clothing

    • Aztecas women´s clothing


    The clothing worn by the Aztec man was simple
    and designed for the climate of the Aztec empire.
    His underwear at the time were the “Taparrabos”
    called Maxtl.

    Most of the Aztec women wore skirts, called Cueitl,


    which were insured with a band called “Cihua
    Necuitlalpiloni”. They wore the “Huipilli” at the top,
    which was essentially a sleeveless blouse that was
    pulled over the head, and was adorned with various
    patterns and designs.
