 Women wore long dresses in dark colors, and a white cap, or "prayer covering".Today, the Brethren suit is still worn in the most conservative congregations, although some men dress in a simple style by wearing a collared shirt in a single color without a tie, while women in these congregations may continue to practice the use of a prayer covering.The traditional Brethren plain dress is very similar to the clothing of the present-day Amish.
