The traditional clothing for Lepcha women is the ankle-length dumbun, also called dumdyám or gādā ("female dress").
It is one large piece of smooth cotton or silk, usually of a solid color.
When it is worn, it is folded over one shoulder, pinned at the other shoulder, and held in place by a waistband, or tago, over which excess material drapes.
A contrasting long-sleeved blouse may be worn underneath.

The traditional Lepcha clothing for men is the dumprá ("male dress").
It is a multicolored, hand-woven cloth pinned at one shoulder and held in place by a waistband, usually worn over a white shirt and trousers.
Men wear a flat round cap called a thyáktuk, with stiff black velvet sides and a multicolored top topped by a knot.
Rarely, the traditional cone-shaped bamboo and rattan hats are worn.
