Toego

A toego or tego (Dzongkha: སྟོད་གོ་, Wylie: stod go; also romanised tögo) is a long-sleeved, short jacket-like garment worn over a kira by women in Bhutan.^[1][2][3][4] The toego is thus part of the national dress of Bhutan required by the driglam namzha along with the kira, the wonju and the rachu.
