Muong men usually dress in indigo pajamas, but they also quite often wear clothing typical of the lowland Vietnamese. Women retain their traditional costume. They typically wear a white rectangular scarf tied at the base of the neck, bra, a short vest open at the front (or at the shoulders) with no buttons, and a long skirt. The skirt is decorated by a large silk belt embroidered with geometric designs, flowers, figures, dragons, phoenixes, deer or birds. The belt is often quite wide, worn so as to cover the area from the waist to the middle of the chest. Silver jewelry is often worn in the form of simple, yet elegant bracelets and necklaces.
