Jamaican Traditional Costume

Jamaican clothes are very colorful and vibrant. The traditional costume is a beautiful outfit of red and white cotton material which is worn for galas, holidays and the Independence day, the 10th of August. These garments are made of Calico, a sort of cotton cloth locally handmade. The blouse is usually short sleeved because of the weather and the skirt is a quadrille like dress popular in the Caribbean islands called by them bandana skirt in Jamaica. The red head tie is draped in a particular way.

The colors of Jamaica (black, green and yellow) are also made into costumes for different occasions.
