It is wrapped and folded around the body and is pinned at both shoulders, usually with silver brooches (named koma), and bound at the waist with a long belt. The kira is usually worn with a wonju (long-sleeved blouse) inside and a short jacket or toego (Dzongkha: སྟོད་གོ་, romanized: stod-go) outside.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] ^[7] A rachu (narrow embroidered cloth draped over the left shoulder)^[8] is worn over the traditional dress kira.^[9]
