Plain people are Christian groups in the United States, characterized by separation from the world and by simple living, including plain dressing in modest clothing (including head covering for women).^[1] Many plain people have an Anabaptist background. These denominations are largely of German, Swiss German and Dutch ancestry, though people of diverse backgrounds have been incorporated into them.^[2] Conservative Friends are traditional Quakers who are also considered plain people; they come from a variety of different ethnic backgrounds.
