Ayutthaya clothing was the style during in 14-18th centuries. Ayutthaya city was the capital of the Thai kingdom for 417 years, the longest period of Thailand that was ruled under one monarch.

Many styles of clothing followed the period of Ayutthaya but the fashion changed frequently under the influence of various countries who come into contact and trading with the kingdom.

Historically, both Thai males and females dressed in a loincloth wrap called chong kraben. Men wore their chong kraben to cover the waist to halfway down the thigh, while women covered the waist to well below the knee.
Bare chests and bare feet were accepted as part of the Thai formal dress code and are observed in murals, illustrated manuscripts, and early photographs up to the middle of the 1800s.
In the royal court, royalty and nobility men are wearing lomphok, a tall pointed hat, made of white cloth wrapped around a bamboo frame, and Khrui, a light outer garment worn as a gown or robe in certain ceremonial settings.
Traditional Thai attire has changed significantly throughout the Rattanakosin period.
