What way? I am wearing a dress shirt, dress pants and nice black shoes as I work in my office.

Seriously, Buddhists fall into two categories, Lay people and Monks/Nuns.

Lay people wear whatever they like whenever they like. There is no Buddhist dress code, hence my answer above. I tend to wear unflashy but neat causal office attire (solid color shirts and pants) and the same at home.

Monks and Nuns, on the other hand, wear robes. The reason for this is two fold. First, the simple robes identify that person as a Monk/Nun, secondly, it is traditional. OK, maybe there are 3 reasons; the third is that the simple clothes re-enforces the idea that happiness is not found in material things.

What do Buddhist nuns wear?

Buddhists don't dress in certain ways. They are more worried about if the way they dress will offend or upset anyone, so they can wear what they want. They could wear a corset and a short skirt if they wanted to, and any reason they wouldn't want to would be incase it angered others. Buddhism has no rules if you aren't a monk or nun.

All Buddhists do not eat lamb. All of any group do not act the same way. Some Buddhists are vegetarian, some have more omnivorous diets. The only restraint is that a Buddhist should not specifically require an animal be killed for him to eat.
