Longyi, Traditional costume worn the most in the world

Longyi is the national costume of Myanmar. The men's longyi is called a Paso and the women's longyi is called a Tamein. The longyi is not only worn with the traditional coat, the engie, but also often worn with ready-made clothes.

The fabric is generally made of cotton, but for ceremonies and special occasions, the more expensive silk-weave longyis worn. For men, the formal dress is a silk longy, a jacket called a typon engie and a hat called a gown bown, and for women, the formal dress is a silk longy and a lace veil worn over the jacket.

Longies are not only fashionable but also very suitable for easy activities in Myanmar's hot, humid, where there is little reflection on the ground.

For example, students and teachers wear green Longyi and white Longyi, nurses wear red Longyi and whiteLongyi, and so on.

Myanmar has the highest percentage of people wearing traditional costumes in the world, and longyi is strongly rooted in the lives of the people of Myanmar.
