Laotian women wearing xout lao.
Components
The xout lao is composed of different parts. The style varies between genders from regions to regions, and it often depends on the occasions. For instance, in formal settings men typically wear a white silk Nehru-style jacket with a pha hang with white knee-length socks and dress shoes. Men can also optionally wear a pha biang with checkered patterns on their left shoulders. Women typically wear a sinh matching in colors with a pha biang and a silk suea pat.[1]
gollark: Why not route long deliveries through dedicated nether transport?
gollark: You probably also need to do something about powering them, for particularly long trips.
gollark: Maybe just have them automatically go back and upward if velocity drops to zero.
gollark: Maybe put GPS/linked card relay stations down periodically on longer routes, but have them navigate inertially between them.
gollark: Great, that's easier.
