Veden clothing includes trousers and shirts that laced up the front for the men, skirts and colourful blouses for the women. In the years around 1173 the Alethi tan and hair color is seen as the mark of true beauty.{{book ref|sa1|3}}
Lighteyes, both men and women, often wear clothing made from silk. Beards are eschewed by the nobility, although this doesn’t stop some from wearing them. Traditional clothing includes a skirt like garment called an [[ulatu]], which may be worn with a shirt and a robe over the top, and mink pelts.{{book ref|sa2|19}} Also Vakama.{{book ref|sa4|20}}
The Veden people are typically associated with pale skin and violet eyes.{{book ref|sa1|46}} Although many Vedens, particularly in the south, look more like the Alethi people. These are generally tan -- darker-skinned [[Shin]], but not as dark as the [[Makabak]]i -- with dark, typically black hair.{{book ref|sa1|3}}{{book ref|sa3|100}}
Their language belongs to the Vorin family, and is close enough to that of [[Alethkar]] to be mutually intelligible for both sides.{{wob ref|3977}} Many Vedens learn Alethi in their youth.{{book ref|sa1|5}} The Alethi are also close to Vedens in fashion.{{file ref|Contemporary Male Fashion.jpg|Contemporary Male Fashion}}
The Veden are by and large [[Vorin]], worshipping the [[Almighty]] and the [[Herald]]s. They appear to be more religious than average Vorins, with higher importance being placed on the trappings of the faith, such as the [[safehand]] and the strict division between masculine and feminine arts.{{book ref|sa1|33}} In particular, they are noted to be highly respectful and reverent of the [[ardent]]s, and extremely traditional in the particulars of the doctrine.{{book ref|sa1|7}}
