• For lay Jains: Dress is simple, clean, and non-violent—often white or light-colored clothes. Avoid leather if possible (to reduce harm to animals) and keep clothing modest and plain as a sign of non-attachment.

• For Jain monks and nuns:

- Digambara (sky-clad): Monks and nuns in this tradition traditionally go without clothes (they are nude). This is a radical symbol of renunciation in Digambara Jainism. - Śvetāmbara (white-clad): Monks and nuns in this tradition wear simple white robes.

• Important nuance:

- Clothing practices are different between Digambara and Śvetāmbara communities, but both emphasize simplicity, non-violence, and letting go of worldly attachments. - Women in some traditions may have different rules about ascetic practice and robes, but in Śvetāmbara they wear white robes; Digambara practice for women differs in how renunciation is pursued.

If you’d like, I can give more detail on how these practices are understood in each tradition.
