Xout lao

The Xout Lao (Lao: ຊຸດລາວ; pronounced [sūt láːw]) is a Laotian national costume, worn by men, women, and children.

Xout lao literally means 'Lao outfit'.

For instance, in formal settings men typically wear a white silk Nehru-style jacket with a pha hang with white knee-length socks and dress shoes.

Men can also optionally wear a pha biang with checkered patterns on their left shoulders.

Women typically wear a sinh matching in colors with a pha biang and a silk suea pat.
