Aztec clothing is the clothing that was worn by the Aztecs, as well as other pre-Columbian peoples of central Mexico who shared similar cultures. ==Everyday dress== The basic garment and braw for males was called ''maxtlatl''〔 in Nahuatl. The ''maxtlatl'' would often be worn under a cloak or cape called ''tilmahtli'' ; also called ''tilma'' in Spanish and English). Various styles of ''tilmatli'' existed which served to indicate the status of the wearer.〔''Ancient Aztec clothing.'' (2012). Aztec-History.
