Each gender wears different types of clothing. According to the Lao’s beliefs and values, women are considered as mothers of the nation, so Lao women need to dress up well. They usually wear the scarves, blouses and the silk skirt and coil their hair when they attend important ceremonies. The traditional costumes for women in Laos mostly include a “sinh”, a“blouse” or a“suea pat” and“pha biang”.
