Mexican Costume for United Nation


So have you ever decided yet which costume to wear, to celebrate your organizations United Nations Costume event? Or for what ever reason you came here I am sure you can get something . I would like to discuss briefly on how did Mexicans came up with the materials and design of their costume, and nevertheless, the main reason I invent this article is to creatively share the things I have known and probed from different blogs and really to give visual ideas to our customers on how they uniquely wear the traditional costume of Mexicans.

How Mexicans Came-up with their Traditional Costume


In this first segment prior to the article I will share with you the traditional way on how Mexicans present their traditional costume.

Mexican Hat VectorMexicans Native Traditional Outfit starting from the top -- were popular and can be identified by large hat brims and a mustache if it is a male, in Mexico it is called sombrero. "aha! I know it", as a Filipino, Sombrero in Philippines were really called sumbrero if I was right the term was coined from Spaniards it was a long story after all.

My theory why Mexicans sombrero have huge hat brims that seems to be exaggerated is that the character of their traditional outfit is the Sun, it is purposely designed safeguard from the sun.

The use of vibrant colors to their costumes can be represented by a light hitting any object causing it to enhance it colors. As well as the geometric shapes indicated from the fabric it may represent sun rays.
In this photo you can see 2 kids wearing traditional Mexican costume (a male kid wearing sombrero and charro suit that is usually black in color and embroidered). As you can see under the brim of the sombrero(hat) were embroidered triangular shape, that represents sun rays. You can also observe the pattern in their Sarape's outfit


Overview from Mexican Clothing


well its not really a history but more of points on how did Mexicans came up with their traditional costume

why did they prefer using cotton materials in their traditional cloth? The science here is that Mexicans used air-breathable fabrics because geographically their land is situated in the tropical zones and have high altitudes. I'm not gonna use numbers to measure the altitude but for the sake of giving you a fact: its 2,230m above sea level. Meaning you're closer from the sun... is my logic valid? yes I'm telling the truth here.

please bare with me as I reason out why they use the design they are using now.

Why did they love colorful, some say color reflects how intelligent the person is -- the more you're attracted to colors the more intelligent you are. in Mexico, living colorfully is a norm, it runs through their blood. The real reason why they are into vibrant community is that they believe that it is the way to be closer to God. They believe that freedom to natural world as well as to themselves is another way to reach God so they do what they can to control their environment as loosing themselves from constriction of what is out there they from typical things. 

more over they like to embroidered their fabric as ornaments






Next, I will be discussing with you how can we make Mexican costume look like Mexican traditional Costume even if you play and mix their pieces into more fashionable ways,

Its superhero day again!




well if there is.. I really wish I could become a real hero with super cool superpowers if really there is a mentor or a great-great-grand-master who teach somebody to become a hero with real powers I'd whisper closely to his right ear that "I want powers related to time, to stop the time" (hihihi! if you know what I mean).
