Liqui liqui
The liqui liqui (IPA: of Venezuela.
It is traditionally white, beige, cream or ecru, although it is available in other colors. Recently, liqui liquis have been worn by famous personalities in Venezuela for their weddings, in a renaissance of traditional dress – for example,
Venezuelan folk musician Simón Díaz was known to almost always wear one.[1]
The liqui liqui is traditionally made of linen or cotton cloth, although alpargata – an open-toed sandal – and a llanero
hat.
Because of the style of the collar, it is said that the liqui liqui was brought to Venezuela from the Philippines, although this is uncertain. The more accepted version is that the liqui liqui is derived from the uniform of colonial-era soldiers, whose jacket or liquette had a similar shape – hence the name and the collar.
