"Algonquian" is not the name of a tribe but the name of a very large group of related languages, used by some of the tribes of the Great Plains (for example Blackfoot, Arapaho, Cheyenne), by many tribes of the Midwest (Sauk and Fox, Illinois, Miami, Shawnee, Kickapoo and others) tribes of the far north (Cree, Agonkin, Ojibwe and others) and along most of the eastern coast of North America: Powhatan, Mohegan, Wampanoag, Mahican, Delaware, Maliseet and many, many more.

Naturally the Plains tribes were not culturally the same as the Great Lakes tribes, who were not the same as the east coast tribes; each had their own clothing, traditions, religions and so on.

It is therefore impossible to answer your question.

The women of the Algonquin or Algonkin tribe of the Ottawa river valley originally wore a dress made of two complete deerskins fastened at the shoulders and sides, sometimes with a belt. Sleeves were removable. Some women wore just a skirt of deerskin, overlapped on one side. Knee-length deerskin leggings were gartered below the knee with leather strips decorated with dyed porcupine quills.

Moccasins were soft-soled and had a seam up the front, along the instep, with puckered toes and narrow turned-down cuffs. These moccasins were often undecorated for day-to-day wear.

Hair as worn long and loose or in a single braid at the back. Headbands were not worn, but loads were carried on the back by means of a "tumpline" around the forehead.

When traders brought Hudson Bay blankets the Algonquins quickly adapted these to make clothing items, including leggings.
