What Did Australian Aboriginals Wear?
One of the most common misconceptions about indigenous clothing in Australia is the belief that people wore as little clothing as possible, if not none at all. However, this certainly isn’t true, as these people wore clothes and decent ones which differed from one region to another, the climate and even the season. Generally, they wore cloaks crafted from animal skin and feathers, skirts made from plants and animal and human hair, and a selection of other clothing designed to cover the body. Wraps and belts were just another thing they loved to wear, which, in fact, is a sign of their sense of fashion. Not to mention the other ornaments like headbands and necklaces made from shells or even teeth.
