What clothes do Buddhists have to wear?
For lay people there are no rules, but they may chose to avoid leather and may chose to wear the colours of their particular monastic tradition. For ordained monks and nuns the colours of the robes are ususally dictated by tradition – for example – Theravadins it is usually a ochre or brown colour, Tibetan traditions it is yellow and maroon, Japanese Zen it is black and some other Japanese traditions wear white robes.
