When talking about Mexican clothing， we must necessarily separate them into three main groups：
Modern clothes
Traditional Mexican clothing
Celebration dresses and costumes
In big cities， modern Mexican clothing do not differ very much from the clothes we use everyday. Young Mexican people usually wear clothes like T-shirts， sneakers and jeans. But this changes a lot when we get out of the main cities and look into smaller towns， where we can see modern clothes with a “native” feeling， which is shown mainly by the colors chosen. People who live there seem to have a preference for earth-like colors， like brown or dark red， although it is not uncommon to find bright greens and strong yellows as part of the clothes’ colors.
Traditional Mexican clothing has native and European styles. The material among the Mexicans are cotton， bark and agave， as well as wool and silk. In the past， Mexican clothing was dyed with natural local plants， but as soon as aniline dyes were brought from Europe they became the first dying choice. We can find many kinds of traditional Mexican clothing， and it can be separated by sex， social status and race. For instance， clothes worn by women differ from those worn by men， and native clothing is different to the clothing with foreign styles. Mexican clothing for men is mostly “European-like”， but for women is more native.
As for Mexican clothing used on celebrations， we can find a different costume for almost every special day of the year. National festivities are celebrated with typical clothes. Some special days like the Day of the Death are closely related to religion， and that can be seen on the costumes too.
本文大意：谈及墨西哥服饰，我们可以把它们分为三大类，即现代服装、传统服装和节日礼服。大城市的现代服装和我们的日常服装差不多，年轻人通常穿T恤、运动鞋和牛仔裤。小城镇的服装就具有本土味，主要体现在选色上。虽然可以看到一些亮绿和亮黄色，但人们更倾向大地色，如棕色和暗红。墨西哥传统服装结合了本土与欧洲风格，选材主要是棉麻、树皮、龙舌兰、羊毛和丝绸。以前墨西哥服饰用自然植物染色，后来引进并首选欧洲的苯胺染色方法。传统服装多种多样，可根据性别、社会地位、民族等划分。男性的服装较欧式，女性的服装更本土化。墨西哥的每个节日都有特定的服饰，如死神日等宗教性节日都能从服装上显现出来。
