A huipil is a traditional garment worn by indigenous women in Mexico and Central America, particularly among the Maya communities. Typically made from cotton, huipils are handwoven and often feature vibrant colors and intricate designs that reflect the wearer’s cultural identity and regional heritage. The designs on a huipil can include symbols and patterns that convey specific meanings, such as family lineage or local flora and fauna. These garments are usually worn over a skirt and can vary in length and style, depending on the community and occasion.
