National Dress

The national dress of men and women in Myanmar is a sarong called a 'longyi' which is wrapped around the waist and takes the place of trousers and skirts.

The longyi has many advantages being a very practical form of wear for the tropical climate. During the day it can be flapped about to cool the legs while at night it helps to keep out mosquitoes.
