Longyi

A longyi is a kind of traditional Myanmar clothes.

In Myanmar most people wear a longyi.


They come in many colors and patterns.





Both men and women wear them but men`s and women`s styles are different.

A man`s longyi is either a plain color or has stripes or checks.



A woman`s longyi has more colors and also flowers.





This is how you tie a longyi.

  45. I am interested in adopting longyi for daily wear in the sub-tropical climate where I live; however, I have yet to find a purchase source that will ship to the US of A.

    If ANYONE reading this blog knows of a source, please share.

    Thanking you in advance.
