How to wear Tibetan clothes

Tibetans wear Tibetan robes with only one sleeve, and the left sleeve is worn. The right sleeve is empty, pulled from the back to the front, and then draped over the right shoulder. When it is hot, don't wear the left sleeve, pull the two sleeves to the front and tie them around your waist. This way of wearing has a long history and unique reasons.

Tibetans mainly live in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "roof of the world", with high altitude, strong wind and changeable climate. Tibetan robes can keep out the wind and cold. In hot weather, you can take off your double sleeves and tie them around your waist to facilitate labor and heat dissipation.

Brief introduction of Tibetan costumes

In the Tibetan paintings of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and in the precious paintings hidden in Potala Palace, we can all see that Buddhist disciples show their arms when wearing big-breasted clothes. Tibetans live on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night. In one day, there are often changes in wind, rain and snow. Tibetan robe is made of good material and has strong cold-proof effect.

The robe sleeve is wide, so when the temperature rises, one sleeve can be easily removed to adjust the body temperature. Tibetan robe has a big waist and a fat inside. It can be worn as clothes during the day to keep warm and cold. At night, it can make the bed and sleep with clothes. In addition, it is beneficial to labor production. When Tibetans are grazing and farming, if the weather is changeable and the temperature needs to be adjusted, they will take off their sleeves and tie them around their waist, so it is very convenient to bend over to work.
