There are many different costumes for Flamenco dancing. Woman typically wear black, red or white frilly dresses with many ruffles, high heels, their hair in a bun, and a rose behind their ear. Men on the other hand wear black or red tuxedo undershirts with the stretchy classic pants that allow freedom of movement. Flamenco costumes main colors are red, black, white or sometimes dark or navy blue. These are traditional colors and are worn in many places around the world.
