According to Juan Foronda, the versatility of the mantón, of which the mantoncillo is a smaller version, allows for multiple interpretations. It is not limited to being a garment worn over the shoulder but offers various possibilities to complement the flamenco dress, adapting to different styles and occasions.
“"The mantón has more possibilities than just wearing it over the shoulder as a guest."
The specialists have detailed the current trends that set the standard for wearing this garment, as well as the appropriate techniques for its placement, ensuring it enhances the figure and design of the outfit. The correct choice and arrangement of the mantoncillo are crucial for achieving a harmonious and elegant ensemble at the Sevillian celebration.
