==Fashion in Mexico== {{See also|Huipil|Serape|Sombrero}} [[File:QuechquemitlMAPHidalgo.JPG|thumb|left|150px|[[Quechquemitl]] from Hidalgo at the [[Museo de Arte Popular]] in Mexico City]] The history of fashion in Mexico is deeply influenced by its indigenous cultures, which have long traditions of [[weaving]] and embroidery, with garments such as the [[huipil]], [[rebozo]], and [[serape]] being central to their attire. During the colonial period, European styles and materials, including [[silk]] and [[lace]], merged with indigenous textiles and techniques, creating a distinct blend of cultural aesthetics. In contemporary times, Mexican fashion continues to evolve, incorporating traditional craftsmanship with modern trends, through the work of designers like [[Carla Fernández]] and [[Pineda Covalin]] who emphasize [[sustainability]], cultural heritage, and innovation. [[File:FeriadeRebozo2014 25.JPG|thumb|150px|Silk [[rebozo]] from Santa María del Río, SLP on a mannequin at the Feria de Rebozo in [[Tenancingo, State of Mexico.]]]] Mexico City, along with Guadalajara and Monterrey, is a central hub for the nation's fashion scene. Recognized as the heart of Mexico's fashion industry, the city hosts major events like Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Mexico. Its fashion is an eclectic mix of [[high fashion]], [[streetwear]], and [[artisanal]] [[craftsmanship]], contributing to the global view of Mexican style. Clothing choices in Mexico vary based on region, climate, and occasion. In urban areas, casual attire such as [[jeans]], [[t-shirts]], and [[dresses]] are common, though [[formal dress]] remains the norm for events like [[weddings]] and [[religious]] [[ceremonies]]. Men often wear [[Suit|suits]], while women don [[elegant]] dresses, sometimes incorporating traditional Mexican elements like [[embroidery]]. Mexico's fashion is also shaped by climate. In coastal and tropical regions, lighter fabrics prevail, while colder northern areas favor heavier clothing. Rural regions retain traditional attire like embroidered [[blouses]] and [[ponchos]], often worn during festivals. Urban centers adopt a more cosmopolitan style, influenced by global trends. Regional identity plays a significant role in Mexican fashion. The northern states feature [[cowboy]]-inspired clothing and in the Midwest [[Charro]] Suits, while coastal areas embrace [[resort wear]] ([[Guayabera]]). In southern regions like Oaxaca and Chiapas, indigenous [[textiles]] and [[handcrafted]] garments highlight Mexico's rich cultural heritage.
