Burmese female's clothes!


Ahh, this is a Burmese male traditional costume.


Laotian females! The males seem to have disappeared though. I can't find male clothes, although sources suggest that they are similar to Burmese clothes.


Cambodian clothes

This is basically a summary of some of the Southeast Asian clothing.

For example, the Malay males wear traditional costumes and a large black square-resembling hat, known as the songkok, one of the most distinctive features of Malay males.

Anyway, you might notice that most of the costumes look the same as they consist of:

FEMALE: long-sleeved blouse floor-length skirt

MALE: long-sleeved shirt long pants

Scarily similar, no?

Each has its own distinctive characteristics, such as embroidery which reflects the culture, but in the end, it comes back to the conservative Southeast Asian society which it reflects.

Interesting insight. Southeast Asian fashion strangely reflects the theme of my blog:
