 | Costume
The male Lahu Saelae wears black and dark blue long-sleeved shirt with silver small beads at the back. The pants have stockings with pattern similar to the pants. Female wears the black long shirt which reaches the knees and has the fine embroideries and silver studs at the back and the end of the sleeves. The costume is very important for Lahu’s life because it shows the identity of the tribe. When they have worship or festival, they must wear the costume of Lahu Saelae. If someone does not wear it, he or she will be punished. He or she will not be regarded as a relative because Lahu assume the wrong doer does not respect god and ancestor. However, the younger generation is not as strict as the past. Some of them no longer wear the full costume due to the influence of fashion from the city when they study or work there. The students and workers receive the culture from the outsiders whom they come into contact with.
