Modern daily use Tecpán huipiles differ wildly in design and color, often incorporating naturalistic bird and flower motifs in the color palette of blue, green, purple and black on a solid white base cloth. Traditional huipiles feature geometrically stylized figures of birds and rosettes, often combined with newer figurative representations that have been adapted to the marcador weaving technique from cross stitch pattern books. The Tecpán signature motif of stylized rosettes is sometimes the only factor that differentiates the huipil from some of the modern Comalapa huipiles, which now share many of the same motifs. An old-style huipil has been revived and is distinguishable by simpler figures and red, blue and black warp stripes on a white base cloth.

The wide striped faja, now mostly worn by older women, has largely been replaced by narrow, tightly woven belts, fully brocaded or machine embroidered in a variety of bird, fruit and flower patterns, having much in common with modern Comalapa designs.

Men's traje is very similar to that of Comalapa, in that it includes white pants, a wool ponchito (apron), and a pink striped faja typical to the central Kaqchikel region.

Modern weavings have generally become increasingly more elaborate, reflecting new weaving techniques, design motifs and color combinations, thus allowing the weaver a wider range of choices for personal expression.
