Traditional Dresses of Sri Lanka for men The traditional costume for boys is known as Jathika Anduma, which is a brilliant, comfortable and straightforward ensemble and is very different from Lama Sariya, which is much more complicated and is worn by adults.
It also has two parts, one of which is a long sleeve blouse and a long sarong that reaches up to the ankle. The shirt is not to be tucked in, and the entire outfit usually comes with a very neatly folded wrap which is similar to a scarf that can be wrapped around the neck. The Jathika Anduma too is mostly worn in light colors or white color, especially when visiting religious places.
For religious events and ceremonies, boys wear the Jathika Anduma in many colors though pale gold and cream colors are often used for weddings.

Men usually tie their sarongs with a small knot in front and some cases they are wrapped around like a skirt, and some put the end between the legs and tie or tuck it into the sarong, this makes the sarong look like a trouser.

Like other South Asia countries, sarongs are also the basic attire for men in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan men wear the popular and widespread sarongs — a long piece of cloth wrapped around their waist.
The original sarong is a tube of fabric folded and knotted at the waist at different lengths, depending on what the wearer is doing. During Sri Lanka tours , you will see men of all cultures wearing sarongs, such as tuk-tuk drivers, fishermen, cooks and more recently, businessmen, who wear the modern sarong with pockets.
In many regions, men combine a sarong with a long-sleeved shirt. There are quite a few ways for men to wear a sarong. They sometimes tie it and make a knot in front, or they wrap around like a skirt, while others put the end between the legs and tie or tuck into the sarong. Traditional Sri Lankan attires have many other features like appearance, decoration, color which changed over time.
In the late 19th century, many women in the Maritime Provinces or Low Country did not cover their breasts, whether at home or when going outside. The royal ladies wore pleated robes from the waist upwards to save for necklace, armlets, wristlets, ear and hair ornaments.
They used clothes with draping and covered with lots of jewels on the upper body. Marital status and ethnicity appear to be factors that make women decide what to wear. Sri Lankan women also decide on style depending on their age, personal preference and special occasions. Little girls often have skirts and blouses while those reached puberty wear half sarees, and married women always wear sarees for day to day activities like shopping.
