What is flamenco clothing?

Flamenco clothing for women usually starts with the flamenco dress, the most traditional clothing worn by flamenco dancers. The most important part of a flamenco dancer's outfit is the skirt, which is usually brightly coloured and voluminous. Flamenco skirts are usually accompanied by a ruffled blouse, which helps to create the look of a flamenco dancer.

In addition to the skirt and blouse, flamenco dancers also often wear high heels, shawls and festive jewellery. This type of clothing is designed to help the dancer move freely and show off their skills, creating extraordinary visual effects along with the music.

Types of flamenco clothing

There are many different types of flamenco costumes, which can be divided into two main categories: traditional and modern. Traditional flamenco dresses tend to be more colourful and ornate, while modern flamenco dresses tend to have a simpler design.

Some of the most popular traditional flamenco dresses are as follows:

Flamenco skirt for women

Arguably the most important garment of the flamenco dress. Flamenco skirts can be simple and monotone with dark colours such as blue or black, or they can have more original and striking embroidery. This type of skirt is very long, reaching down to the ankles, although it allows great mobility during the dance.

Flamenco top and leotard for women

Flamenco tops and leotards are a very tight-fitting and comfortable type of garment that is also suitable for rehearsals and performances. They are usually combined with flamenco skirts with similar or monotone prints to create a visual contrast.

Flamenco shawls

A traditional shawl worn by Spanish women. Shawls are usually white or black and are made of lace or other delicate fabrics. They are sometimes worn during the dance itself, although they are mostly a decorative element of flamenco dress.
