The longyi

The longyi in Myanmar

The longyi

The longyi is a traditional piece of clothing that both men and women wear throughout Myanmar. A large 2-metre cloth is wrapped around the bottom half of the body in a similar way to a sarong. People wear this for pretty much any occasions. You’ll see men wearing a shirt with a longyi as they go to the office and women lounging around in their shops in one. The difference between the longyi for males and females is the pattern and how the knot is tied. Men allow their knot to hang out the front whereas women tuck it inside. Tourists find this traditional attire intriguing and will often try it on for themselves, much to the amusement of the locals. But, you may have to wear one, especially if you’re dressed inap
