Women Pareos

Many civilizations have evolved all over the earth for thousands of years. Some have developed with the modern day world and some have not.

But all of them have unique features which make them look distinct from others. The various cultures and traditions have been discovered which chiefly depend on the region and the geographical location.

One can only think about the great diversity in terms of food, clothing, livelihood, culture and many more amongst the civilization. Rural civilizations have always shown to develop their own taste especially for clothing.

The basic necessity for wearing a cloth is to protect against the harsh weather. The other reason could be protection of vital organs of the body.

Women pareos are known to be coming from such very old civilizations known as the Tahitian civilizations inhabiting Hawaii, New Zealand and French Polynesia.

Originally the meaning of pareo is a wrap around worn over the waist. It is adored by both males and females and is worn in different styles.

Earlier the only dress worn by Tahitians was a pareo, wearing nothing on the top. These days’ women prefer them wrapping the pareo around their upper bodies, covering the waist till the knees.

The dress is basically supported by breasts from slipping down. Where it was not necessary to cover the upper bodies, women used to wear these pareos till the ankle.

It gave an appearance of a long skirt. These days’ women may combine the pareos with a shirt over the top. One can wear these pareos along with a belt to prevent it from slipping down.

Earlier men used to wear pareos as short wrap arounds around their waists which looked like a short skirt. It allowed maximum freedom while doing vigorous hard work like hunting, cutting the trees or dancing.
