buddhists: dress codes

No specific rules exist for ordinary Buddhists about what they should wear, and most will conform to the local traditions and customs in their appearance.

Those who have entered the path to becoming a spiritual leader, a teacher or even a monk may be more strict in their dress and only wear simple cotton clothing. Buddhists who have taken vows and become a monk or nun may shave their heads and will often wear robes.

Depending on the branch of Buddhism that is being followed, both sexes may also wear charms, amulets and even scarves that have been blessed. It is important that these items are not removed unless absolutely necessary, and that they are kept safe and clean if they are taken off.
