Traditional dress of Myanmar women

Myanmar is a place that China people like to travel very much. Close to the scenery, good customs. The reputation of traveling to Myanmar has always been good. Friends who have been to Myanmar know that Myanmar's clothing customs are very representative, and people there like to wear them regardless of sex, age? Tube skirt? But it seems that the style is a bit single. Why don't they wear pants? Is this skirt forced to wear or do they really like to wear it? Let's take a look at Bian Xiao.

First of all, the wearing of tubular skirts by Burmese people is directly related to their geographical climate. Myanmar is located in the subtropical zone, so it is very hot there. Strong ultraviolet rays do great harm to their skin, and the length and coverage of the skirt are good, which can protect their legs from the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Secondly, it's easy to clean, because it's hot in Myanmar, people are prone to sweat, and clothes change frequently. Besides, this skirt is actually a big piece of cloth, so it's very convenient to change clothes. Secondly, it is convenient to take a bath. There are many small rivers in Myanmar. Because of the hot weather, will the locals? Anytime and anywhere? Taking a bath, that is, if they meet streams and rivers, they will untie their skirts and take a bath in the water. It is convenient and quick to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, which has become the living habit of local people.

In addition, the style of the skirt is very thin. Local women wearing this kind of skirt can highlight their figure and make them look elegant. The length, tightness and color can be adjusted according to their own preferences. Wear more skirts, and the styles are changeable.

Finally, I want to talk about customs. Burmese people are not forced to wear skirts, nor are they personal preferences. This is a custom handed down from ancient times in Myanmar, and it can also be said to be the representative costume of Myanmar. This is their traditional culture, so it has nothing to do with rules and preferences, because the skirt is a part of their life and inseparable. It's just that although this skirt is worn by both men and women in Myanmar, there are still differences. What's the name of the men's skirt? Longji? What's the name of the skirt? Taming? And the way to wear it is slightly different. After the girl's skirt is wrapped, it is tied at the waist, while the man's skirt is tied in the middle of the abdomen. Therefore, although it seems that Myanmar men, women and children wear tubular skirts, it will still be different. If you have the opportunity to travel to Myanmar, try on the skirt, and don't wear it wrong.
