Today we can see the typical Ayas costume worn on the occasion of festivals or solemnities or by local folk groups.

The authentic costume was composed as follows:

men:
- trousers made of cloth, velvet or cloth, narrow and short, buttoned at the bottom, just below the knee, or even tied with colored wool ties
- jacket also made of black fabric, cloth or velvet; it was elegant, with flaps, with two buttons at the top of the back slit, two on each side on the flaps, with pleats, and another six on the double breasted
- waistcoat of black or even white cloth, double-breasted, with two rows of metal buttons, shiny like gold
- black felt headdress, with wide brims.
- white shirt, made of hemp or hemp and cotton
- tie consisted of a silk neckerchief, variously colored with flowers or checks, to which a nice big knot was tied
- both men and women wore long white wool socks and wore "sabots", typical wooden clogs;

women:
- bust supporting the skirt, composed of a double hemp lining, in the middle of which there were vertical ribs of sorghum or raffia filaments, with strong stitching of hemp thread between one and the other. on the outside, with side stitching, it was covered with fabric similar to that of the skirt
- skirt of fine fabric for brides, while the one in common use was made of rougher wool, spun and woven at home. The shape was squat: it had large and rigid accordion folds on the back and gave women an awkward appearance, at least according to today's aesthetic standards. At the bottom of the skirt, a hem approximately 10 cm wide was placed inside. colourful, green or red.
- very short bolero over the skirt.
- apron made of mostly gingham, with printed floral designs, straight on the front with a rectangular-shaped raised lapel, supported on the chest by two pins: it was tied at the waist with a ribbon and was made by hand, with a precision, uniformity and finesse of points to make you wonder.
- over them they wore a white shirt and over their shoulders they put a large silk scarf with fringes in sumptuous and bright colours.
