The most marked characteristic of traditional Bunun garb is the pocket-like pouch worn at the chest by Bunun men, called a kulin. Men's clothes feature colored patterns on a white background, with the main patterns being on the back, whereas women's clothes are mainly black. According to custom, Bunun women cannot wear brightly colored clothing because of their "original sin."
布農傳統服飾最大的特色，是男性服飾中具有口袋功能的胸袋（布農語：KULIN），男性服飾為白底加花紋，主要花紋在背後；女性衣飾以黑色為主，據布農的說法是：因為女性「天生有罪」，不能穿花花綠綠的衣服。
