Inca clothing was closely related to a person's status in society. It was regarded a privilege to wear clothing. Inca clothing was made of wool or cotton depending on the location and was usually woven or knitted. Most people wore loosely fitted tunics which were held together by metal pins. The common people's clothing was rather plain and the upper class wore brighter colors, sandals and jewelry. Beads and feathers were worn by the wealthy. Face and body paint was readily used as a ceremonial custom.
