Liqui liqui

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.

The outfit is made up of a pair of full-length trousers and a jacket.

The jacket has long sleeves and a rounded Nehru-style collar, which is fastened and decorated by a junta (chain link similar to a cufflink), which joins the two ends of the collar.

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.
