The traditional attire is the white pleated wrap skirt and white blouse with pleated sleeves. The red stripped belt typical of the Sierra Zongolica is worn by both women.

Here we can see the two types of costume worn in the region. The white on white is from the Hot zone and the wool wrap skirt with the embroidered blouse is worn in certain towns of Los Reyes and Zongolica.
