The Høng costume, shown above, is made of woolen red checked fabric. At some point, Høng's woven aprons were abandoned for silk aprons. 

 

The Høng costume has two distinctive hallmarks:

a. Its inventive sleeve, with pleats, gathers, decorative ribbons and silk fringes.

b. Its wide lace headgear ("korsklæde") made of lace from the Sønderjylland capital of lace-making, Tønder ("Tønderknippling"). No region in Denmark has such a beautiful and large piece of lace incoporated into its costume as Høng.

​

In many aspects, the Høng costume appears similar to that of Møn Island.
