Bhutanese women wearing kira dresses and toego jackets

A toego (Dzongkha: སྟོད་གོ་; Wylie: stod-go; also spelled 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, along with the kira dress and wonju undershirt.

Both men and women in Bhutan wear the similarly-named tego blouse under the gho and kira.[5]
