What is Rakhine traditional dress?

Rakhine traditional dress, known as "htamein" for women and "longyi" for men, reflects the ethnic identity and cultural heritage of the Rakhine people in Myanmar. Women typically wear a vibrant, intricately patterned sarong-like garment paired with a blouse, while men don a longyi that is often simpler in design. The attire is often adorned with traditional jewelry and accessories, highlighting the region's craftsmanship. These garments are worn during festivals, ceremonies, and daily life, symbolizing pride in Rakhine culture.
