Konyak women wear different attire depending on the occasion and their social status. The photo above is of the daughter of a chief wearing her traditional wedding attire that can also be worn to festivals or ceremonies.

One of the main clothing items is known as the Nyeesa, a traditional wrap-around skirt worn by Konyak women. Members of the chief’s family wear a Nyeesa decorated with beads and coins, while people of lesser status wear a simpler style without embellishments.

Another key piece of clothing is the Nyikhex, which is worn specifically by Konyak brides during their wedding ceremony. The Newthow-nyeesa is a traditional bodice worn by Konyak girls. The ceremonial dress can only be worn after a girl reaches puberty. The Newthow-nyeesa was made with plain woven cotton that was usually off-white in color.

The Shatni shawl is also an important piece of clothing, and it was exclusively for women. The bride would receive the Shatni shawl as a wedding gift from her parent or parents and was a cherished possession, because she would be buried in the same shawl.

The Shoh Shan Okui Khasan is the traditional headdress worn only by the daughters of chiefs. The headdress has hornbill feathers and colored beads as decoration to symbolize prestige and bravery. The Shoh Shan Okui Khasan was only worn by members of the chief's family and warriors.
