Female flamenco dancers traditionally wear ankle-length dresses or skirts with ruffles or frills. The Western image of a flamenco dancer is actually wearing a Sevillanas dress, which is worn at the time of the annual Seville feria.
Modern flamenco dancers are more likely to wear smooth jersey dresses to show off the body line. A common costume choice for flamenco students is a long ruffled skirt plus a shawl worn as a top.
Men can wear a suit, or pants and a shirt. In nuevo flamenco, you'll often see men bare-chested, too.
Clothes
The costumes of male Flamenco dancers vary a little. The most common are the ones with a short jacket, vest, shirt with ruffles on the front, cummerbund, and form fitting trousers. Some of the male costumes are more ornate with bright colors and more ruffles.
Your flamenco shoes are the most important part of your kit. Special tacks hammered into the front sole give that unmistakable sharp staccato sound and as shoes need to be worn in, your own are essential. Travelling dancers take their shoes in their hand luggage - just in case.
It's important to be able to see the outline of the arms and upper body in the dance - the better to admire the intensity and tension of the shapes made, so torso and arms are usually clothed in something tight and clingy. The skirt is usually fairly fitted down to mid thigh (so you don't show your knickers when you turn) and then needs to be full and flared from that point down. Almost down to the ankles, it can be lifted to show off the footwork in rhythmic sections, held out to the side to be admired, attractively draped and tucked or left to swing, follow and emphasize the dynamism and energy of the dancer. The skirt needs to have a little weight in it to swing properly. Flowers in the hair and gaudy dangly earrings are all popular accessories, and if the dance requires it, castanets or fans.
