What do aboriginal people in Australia wear?

Answer 1

Australian Aborigines living a traditional lifestyle in the past wore very little or nothing at all, even in cold regions such as Tasmania. In colder areas, they might wear kangaroo or possum skins, but mostly they covered themselves with ochre and animal fat.

The Aborigines did wear various kinds of personal ornaments such as arm and head bands, necklaces, and bracelets. These were usually made from shells, bones, animal teeth and claws, or bits of feather and fur.

Answer 2

Australian Aborigines now wear the same clothing as other Australians. They have been westernised, integrated into white society, and have adopted non-indigenous styles of dress, housing and food. Some still live in desert and outback regions, and these aboriginals do not worry about shoes, but the women wear loose dresses, and the men loose shirts and trousers.
