Amish people wear traditional clothing

Although Amish clothing can vary based on factors such as the particular Amish affiliation, geographic location, and individual preferences within the community, there are still a few common features.

Amish clothing is a way of expressing and reflecting their commitment to simplicity and humility, characterized by plain designs without elaborate patterns or bright colors.

For women, it is typical to wear long dresses with full skirts, aprons, blouses, and head coverings such as bonnets, caps, or prayer coverings. As for men’s clothing, they typically wear broad-brimmed hats, simple shirts, suspenders, and dark trousers.

The aim of these clothes, besides simplicity, is functionality and durability, as manual labor is often performed by the members of this community. Therefore, jewelry and other accessories are not worn.
