=== Traditional dress===
Mon women wear traditional shawl-like ''[[Sbai]]'', known as ''Yat Toot'' in Mon language, diagonally over the chest covering one shoulder with one end dropping behind the back. This tradition distinguished Mon women from other 134 ethnic groups in Myanmar. Archaeological evidence from the [[Dvaravati]] era portrays that Dvaravati ladies wearing what seems to be a piece of ''Sbai'' hanging from their shoulder.<ref>{{Cite web|title=มรดกช่างศิลป์ไทย : งานปูนปั้น|url=https://www.chatnirun.com/%e0%b8%a1%e0%b8%a3%e0%b8%94%e0%b8%81%e0%b8%8a%e0%b9%88%e0%b8%b2%e0%b8%87%e0%b8%a8%e0%b8%b4%e0%b8%a5%e0%b8%9b%e0%b9%8c%e0%b9%84%e0%b8%97%e0%b8%a2-%e0%b8%87%e0%b8%b2%e0%b8%99%e0%b8%9b%e0%b8%b9/}}</ref> Mon people of Myanmar and Thailand today are the descendants of ''Dvaravati.''

Mon men in Myanmar wear clothes similar to the Bamars. Those living in Thailand have adopted [[Thai people|Thai]] style garments. It seems that Mon clothing has been shaped through its dynastic traditions as well as external influences.

[[Thanaka]] is a yellowish-white cosmetic paste made from ground bark that is widely used in Myanmar, particularly by the Mon people. It is applied to the face, arms and legs as a form of sun protection and to beautify the skin. Thanaka has been a part of Mon culture for centuries and remains an important part of traditional beauty and skincare practices in the country.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Naturally beautiful: Cosmetic and beauty products from forests|publisher=Food & Agriculture Org|date=2020|isbn=978-9251323984|pages=44–50}}</ref>
