A vast majority (95%) of Paraguay’s population comprises of mestizos (mixed Amerindian and Spanish peoples). In the urban areas of Paraguay, modern, Western-style clothing is primarily worn. However, traditional garments are often adorned in rural areas. Rebozo, a traditional shawl, is worn by rural women over a simple skirt and blouse or dress. Dresses with Ninduti lacework are worn on special occasions by Paraguayan women.Culture - Paraguay
