Men wear a long shirt referred to as 'Kurta' alongwith a 'Pyjama'. A jacket or 'sadri' and a cap are also worn by men during the winter season. Buttoned up coats teemed with trousers form the dress of the rich. Women of Chamoli generally wear 'Angra' or a full-sleeved shirt, along with a saree. During winter, woollen jackets are also worn by the ladies. Rural women are clad in a long scarf which covers the neck and shoulders, termed as 'Orhni' and a tight, long sleeved jacket. Salwar-Kameez is worn by the girls, with a 'dupatta', which is again a long scarf that covers the head and shoulders.
