 The Inca clothing is very colorful. The upper class have special clothing. Their clothing have bright patterns. The shape of the clothing is similar to a poncho. The clothing that they wear is made of very soft wool. However, the Incas aren't just represented by their clothing, but also by their jewelry. They wear huge necklaces, vibrant bracelets, and round medallions. The royalties wear enormous feathers on their clothes.Warmer clothing was worn by Incas that were made from textile fibers such as cotton or wool. They were always worn whole and never cut or tailored and they were held together by large metal pins. The Incas also wore hats to protect their faces from the sun.  "Sapa Inca wore each cloth for only once. Afterwards the worn clothes were burnt. So you know, they need to supply lots of cloth for Sapa Inca. As you know "chosen women" were the ones who prepared clothes for Sapa Inca. So they had to remain busy on this purpose. Only the Inca could wear a headdress with his special fringe of gold and feathers. His headdress was of different kind: round his head was wreathed a turban of many colored folds, called the llautu, with a tasseled fringe, like that worn by the prince, but of a scarlet color, while two feathers of a rare and curious bird, called the coraquenque, placed upright in it, were the distinguishing insignia of royalty. His coat was covered with jewels and pieces of turquoise. ." (http://www.machupicchu-inca.com/inca-clothing.html)
