Compared to women's attire, men's clothing among the Hmong people is relatively uniform. Most wear loose-fitting pants cut in the style of crippled legs, with very wide and low crotches, and the pant legs are also very wide. They use a long black or white linen strip as a belt; when worn, the strip is pulled to one side and then tightened with a belt. The men's traditional Hmong shirt is slit at the hem and fastened on the side, with a plain black color and no decoration. Flower Hmong (Red Hmong) men's costume  is typically wider and slightly longer and a little higher than the waistband of their pants.
