Hello #AnimalCrossing fans, we've got something for you today.
Yes, outfit codes for everyone from our textile collection! We've also got designs you can try to do yourself. ⬇️
The first we've got for you is this shirt from the Bagobo.
Among Bagobo men, only elite warriors, the magani can wear this kind of tie-dyed shirt and trouser set, called tinangkulo. It is said that a darker shade of red corresponds to the number of enemies a warrior has defeated.
Another design you can try on is this Yakan skirt! The skirt is usually worn with a long-sleeve, dark colored top so we included it in the design.
This design is taken from an inalaman, a special skirt worn by Yakan women over their pants. These skirts are very rare because it takes a long time to make them. The Yakan of Basilan and Zamboanga are one of few indigenous groups whose traditional attire include pants for women.
For those who want to make their own designs, we have a Maguindanao tubular garment (inaul) and a Bugkalot top and skirt. ⬇️
The Maguindanao have a large variety of types of tubular garments they call inaul. Similar to the Maranao malong, it can be used by men and women. While some designs are reserved only for royalty, the most common ones include checkers and plaid.
You can make this plaid malong using the basic tile custom design in the game.
Up next is this shirt and skirt combo! Bugkalot women wore these bright red blouses and dark blue skirts until the 1980s. As a personal touch, they would decorate them with embroidered floral designs and hanging shell beads.
If you're further along the game, you can customize this set using the short-sleeve dress template!
We hope you learned something about our indigenous textiles while you enjoy #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons
