In Mexicos cities and large towns, Mexicans wear clothing similar to that worn in the United States. The villagers clothes, however, are very simple and practical. Village men usually wear plain cotton shirts and pants with leather sandals called huaraches. The village women wear blouses and long, full skirts. They usually go barefoot. They use shawls, which are called rebozos, to cover their heads.
Mexican flag symbolizes the greatest things of the Mexican people. The Mexican flag consists of: three colors (green, white and red), and the Mexican Coat of Arms (the Mexican golden eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus devouring a snake. The cactus is situated on a rock that rises above a lake).he snake on the Mexican flag that the eagle is devouring represents all of the Mexican enemies. The fact that the Mexican eagle is devouring the snake means that the Mexican people will always prevail over their enemies and that they would never surrender.
