Those of high status wear tailored clothing made from imported materials and jewelry showcasing gems from the valley. Gold is the metal of choice for accessories; those who can’t afford it make due with brass, copper, or plain obsidian–the most common and cheapest option in the area. In the city, people wear well-fitted jackets or bodices with skirts, usually made of linen. Cloaks are worn even in clear conditions, as the weather can change at a moment’s notice. Embroidery is used to add individualized flair and style to clothing. Those who work in the mines and outside the city tend to wear looser and less decorated clothes that allow more freedom of movement.
