Traditionally during recreation the Sinhalese wear a [[sarong]] (''sarama'' in Sinhala). Men may wear a long-sleeved shirt with a sarong. Clothing varies by region for women. Low country Sinhalese women wear a white Long sleeved jacket, and a tight wrap around skirt, which usually is embedded with a floral or pattern design. As for the up country Sinhalese, women wear a similar outfit, but with a puffed up shoulder jacket, and a tucked in frill that lines the top of the skirt (Reda and Hatte in Sinhala). Traditionally, high caste Kandyan women wear a Kandyan style [[sari]], which is similar to the Maharashtrian [[sari]], with the drape but with a frill lining the bottom half and sometimes puffed up sleeves. It is also called an Osariya. The low country high caste women wear a South Indian style saree. Within the more populated areas, Sinhalese men also wear Western-style clothing &mdash; wearing suits while the women wear skirts and blouses. For formal and ceremonial occasions women wear the traditional [[Sari#Sri Lanka|Kandyan]] (''Osariya'') style, which consists of a full blouse which covers the midriff completely, and is partially tucked in at the front. However, modern intermingling of styles has led to most wearers baring the midriff. The Kandyan style is considered as the national dress of Sinhalese women. In many occasions and functions, even the ''saree'' plays an important role in women's clothing and has become the de facto clothing for female office workers especially in government sector. An example of its use is the uniform of air hostesses of [[Sri Lankan Airlines]].<ref name="everyculsin">{{cite web|url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/literature-and-arts/language-linguistics-and-literary-terms/language-and-linguistics/sinhalese|first=Bryan|last=Pfaffenberger|title=Sinhalese – Encyclopedia of World Cultures|website=Encyclopedia.com|date=23 June 2022|access-date=21 July 2022}}</ref>
