After reviewing the 5 keys to choosing the fabrics to go to a pilgrimage, as well as the fabrics with which we should dress our wagons, today we will see the different options that tradition offers us to go to a pilgrimage. Shall we start?

How should women dress for a pilgrimage?

Unlike at the Feria, at the Romería women tend to dress more comfortably. A suit with less volume and, therefore, less weight and lighter.

In addition, the pattern of these suits usually marks the waist and widens from the hip. This cut will give us more amplitude, movement and comfort.

While it is true that we can wear a flamenco dress to a pilgrimage without being out of place, it is more advisable to wear a canastero, a rociera's dress (bata rociera) or a rociera' skirt..

The main difference is the comfort that these dresses provide. While the flamenco dress is usually tighter and heavier, the costume for pilgrimages is looser and lighter.

That said, it will also depend on how long we go on the pilgrimage: whether we go the whole way or just for a day.

It should be noted that for pilgrimages we will discard any delicate fabrics, such as chiffons or silks, as they would not withstand the demands of the pilgrimage.

What is the difference between a Canastero, a Bata Rociera and a Falda Rociera?

Rociera Skirt

We start with the rocieras skirts: preferably long and with a lot of flight, they can be combined with different types of tops.

It is ideal to wear on the Pilgrimage Route and is usually combined with basic shirts , which allow us to highlight the waist, as well as short tops or batiste or plumeti shirts in fresh cotton fabric.

We leave you some proposals on linen fabrics and/or yarn effect:

Bata Rociera

Of gypsy influence, this dress has less flounce than the flamenco dress, a single row of ruffles on the bottom and the absence of petticoat.

A very comfortable option if we want to do the Camino.

Here are some ideas on crepe:

Traje Canastero

Perhaps the best known among the Romero fashion, thanks to its incursion in the main Fairs and catwalks.

As Claudia Alfaro tells us in her blog::

«The canastero dress is a single flounce divided into as many partitions as you wish. These divisions, layered or threaded, are joined together to form a single ruffle. And, yes , it has petticoats!!! (which can also be canasteras or not). On the other hand, the flamenco dresses with cascading flounces are the classic ones, as they say, "the ones of all life". Each ruffle is independent of the previous one and is sewn to the skirt (or body if it is full).»

Some ideas in fabrics, on 100% cotton:

How should men dress for a pilgrimage?

They wear a short suit, ideal with country pants, and a jacket and shirt. They can complete their look with hat, sash, and camper boots.

Although it is true that this costume has not evolved as much as that of women, it is also adapting to fashion.

Men can be seen wearing light, even pastel tones, without forgetting the classic tones: : blacks, grays, browns and greens. They are usually 100% cotton fabrics, plain or with a discreet striped pattern.

As we have seen, we have multiple options for the next pilgrimage. And you, which fabric do you like the most? Which style do you prefer? We'll read you on our social networks!
