Actually, Peruvians dress in a western style. They wear jeans, T-shirts, sport shoes, and casual pants that make differences from status and social class. In most cities and towns in the Sierra, highland, people dress typical dresses when they have some important festivals. These clothes are hand made of colored cotton, vicuna, alpaca, and sheep fibres.
