Geographical environment of Mongolian costumes

Wear robes all year round.

In Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang pastoral areas, Mongolian men, women and children like to wear robes all year round, commonly known as Mongolian robes. Wear a double robe in spring and autumn and a single cotton robe in summer. Men's dresses are generally fat, while women's dresses are tight to show women's slim and fit figure. Different colors have their own colors to symbolize robes. Men like to wear blue and brown, while women like to wear red, pink, green and sky blue. In summer, they are lighter in color, such as light blue, milky white, pink and light green. Mongolians believe that the color as white as milk is the most sacred, and it is often worn on festivals and auspicious days. Blue symbolizes eternity, loyalty and loyalty, and it is the color that represents the Mongols. Red is as warm, bright and pleasant as fire and the sun. Wear clothes of this color at ordinary times; Yellow is considered as a symbol of the supremacy of imperial power, so in the past, no one could wear it unless he was a living Buddha or a royal family who had received gifts from the emperor. Belt Windproof and Cold-proof Belt is an indispensable part of Mongolian costume. Generally made of cotton cloth and satin, the length varies from three meters to four meters. Most of the colors are in harmony with the colors of robes. The plain belt can not only keep out the wind and cold, but also keep the ribs stable and vertical when riding stiffly. It is also a beautiful dress. When a man wears a belt, he lifts his robe up, which is short, convenient to ride and looks thin and chic. There are also Mongolian knives, tongs and tobacco bags hanging on the belt. Women, on the other hand, should pull down their robes when they wear their belts to show their beautiful figure.
