Grass Skirt

/ɡræs skɜrt/noun
ELI5 mode

A traditional garment made from natural fibers like leaves, grasses, or shredded plant materials, worn around the hips and often associated with Polynesian and Pacific Island cultures. It serves as both everyday attire and a key element in ceremonial dances, symbolizing a deep connection to nature and heritage, though in modern contexts it's sometimes stylized for tourism or performances.
