Question

What's the fashion in Spain and Cuba? (traditional and/or fashionable clothing)​

Answer 1

From the Taino cotton loincloths to the Chanel 2016 Show in Havana, dressing in Cuba has dramatically evolved in the last 500 years. However, traditionally drawn towards European and American styles, it has taken its time to adapt again to the island’s environment and weather. Furthermore, fashion in Cuba has suffered the influence of historic affairs; and the crucible of races and cultures that have shaped the island’s idiosyncrasy along its history, has also shaped the garments worn by its inhabitants.

The mild though often unstable climate of the Caribbean has set the tendency of its people to go light when it comes to clothing. As a matter of fact, the most primitive inhabitants of the Cuban archipelago, the Guanahatabey, wore almost nothing, while the most culturally advanced Ciboney and Taino, of Arawak stock, wore only cotton-woven loincloths and, in the case of women, short open skirts. All this changed abruptly when the first Spanish settlers began to colonize the region. The inherent puritanism of the Catholic Church dictated that the body should be fully covered, despite the high temperatures that dominate most of the year.
