When it comes to clothing in Laos, we have to talk about the climate in Laos. Laos is located in a latitude area transitioning from tropical to subtropical regions, with two seasons of rain and drought each year, and the lowest temperature during the dry seasonAround 20 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature during the rainy season can reach 40 degrees Celsius, with a significant temperature difference between day and night. The rainy season is from March to September throughout the year, with abundant precipitation, while the dry season is from October to February, with sparse precipitation. The Mekong River, which runs north and south of Laos, enters a dry season, with reduced flow and sandbars appearing. Due to this climate, Laotians wear relatively single clothing.

For most of the year, adult men in Laos usually wear long sleeved shirts and pants, while women wear long sleeved jackets and ethnic style tube skirts. Due to the strong ultraviolet radiation, many Laotians still wrap themselves tightly even in hot weather. However, this did not change the darker skin tone of Lao people.

Lao women usually have one or two sets of clothing to support their appearance, and the fabric is handmade, mainly coarse cotton and yarn mixed fabric. The ladies' formal attire is colorful, paired with exquisite folk patterns and pearl chain accessories, giving a simple and solemn feeling. Young women's formal attire is colorful, with goose yellow, orange, pink, and light purple as the main colors; The formal attire of middle-aged and elderly women prefers colors such as deep purple, coffee, dark green, and deep blue. Despite the diversity of colors, the overall style is still the same. Laotians will definitely attend gatherings in formal attire, replacing their usual casual and casual attire.

In addition to distinctive ethnic costumes, uniforms are also a beautiful scenery in Laos. The colors of student uniforms are uniform, with light blue or white shirts as the top. Boys wear Western style black pants, and girls wear blue tube skirts with lace; Staff uniforms generally match the colors of different departments and wear corresponding badges and armbands, similar to military uniforms. When going to and from school or commuting to and from work, students and employees in uniform walk in groups in the countryside and towns, appearing particularly energetic. Although they are in uniform, they are not rigid at all.

In rural and remote mountainous areas, Laotians often wear their own sewn ethnic costumes, while in more developed towns, people's clothing has begun to become commercialized and internationalized. In Laos, the ethnic clothing of the Laolong ethnic group is very similar to that of the Dai ethnic group in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Men wear collarless jackets and sand cage style pants or long tube wide leg pants; Women wear a collarless diagonal top, paired with a tube skirt. Whenever there is a Chinese New Year or a major celebration, Lao women will wear a high bun and ethnic costumes; Lao men tend to dress more in Western formal attire, with fewer wearing ethnic clothing.

If you go to Laos, I believe the local people's clothing will leave a simple and simple impression on you.
