People in New Zealand wears modern Western-style clothing. They like to dress casually. Sometimes men even wear shorts, knee socks, white shirts, and ties to work.
Maoris basically dress like other New Zealanders, but they still wear their traditional costumes for special occasions. The most common feature of these costumes is the striped, fringed skirt woven from flax that is worn by both men and women. Women wear them over brightly colored dresses. Over their dresses the women may also wear long white capes .
