Miao clothes are diverse across regions. Men wear short coats and trousers, while women decorate themselves with very dainty skirts and jewels. On their skirts, there are many patterns taking themes from life such as flowers and birds. One of the most attractive, pleated skirts has as many as 40 layers.
