Why do Filipinos like to wear polka-dot clothes to celebrate festivals?

Filipinos especially like celebrations and parties. They have festivals and revelry every day, 365 days a year. Their festivals and parties are a dazzling cultural feast that lasts for a day or even a month. The lively and rich activities and festive atmosphere are very attractive to foreign tourists.

Filipinos wear a variety of clothes at holiday parties. Some people think there will be many dots on their bodies. Filipinos do have many dazzling dots of various shapes and colors on their holiday costumes. They like polka dots because they think wearing polka dots will bring good luck. In addition, they may think that gathering many dots together has a strong visual impact effect, which is very consistent with their lively and enthusiastic personality.

In fact, when we talk about polka dots, we also think of the famous polka dot artist Yayoi Kusama. In this artist's design, endless waves and gorgeous flowers overlap to make people dizzy, and people don't know where they are in extreme fanaticism, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of Filipinos' love of carnival. Filipinos inadvertently choose wave spots as holiday decorations, which really conforms to their holiday atmosphere.

The dot is just a foundation. Making more complex shapes on the basis of dots can make simple plane shapes full of three-dimensional visual effects and passionate emotions. In addition, Filipinos paint their faces with bold colors, hold indigenous weapons or decorations, and sing and dance in drum-rumbling celebrations and festivals. Even tourists will be dragged into the team by them, smearing black smoke and ashes on their faces, forgetting all their troubles and joining in the carnival.
