Clothing characteristics of Kirgiz nationality

Among Kirgiz costumes, women prefer red short skirts and dresses. This shirt has a wide straight collar. Cloth sewing is simple, high-grade clothes are exquisitely sewn, and silver buttons are nailed at cuffs and inner skirts. The skirt is made of wide band or pleated silk, with the upper end tied around the waist and the lower end inlaid with fur. Underwear lapels cover the vest, and the neckline of the vest is very large, revealing underwear. The coats outside the shorts are mostly black, with lapels and open chests, and cotton wool in winter. Women wear round golden velvet red hats, called "Taksi", covered with headscarves. Another kind of hat is called "Eric", which is decorated and embroidered. When wearing this kind of hat, you should wear an embroidered soft hat inside. Wear "Karl Parker" in winter, made of felt, with a common nail at the top, a hat made of tweed or cloth, with both sides open and a white top. The latter two kinds of hats are older, and most people don't wear them. Women's headdresses are very complicated. Braids are tied with "embroidered cloth strips", and the ends of the braids are round silver coins. Then connect the two braids with a bead chain. They like to powder their faces and wear jade bracelets and rings. Kirgiz men's wear is also embroidered, with short sleeves and the length of the coat reaches the arm. Straight collar, embroidered neckline, tight cuffs, or embroidery, double-breasted coat, silver buckle nailed on double-breasted coat, white underwear, often embroidered, coat "tank top", also called "shelf", similar to the style worn by women, but with different colors. Men's wear comes in black, gray and blue. When you go out, you wear a coat. One coat has no collar and the cuffs are covered with black cloth, which is called "Tokchek people". There are also people who wear leather clothes, called "clothes riders".

Men don't have beards or hair. If you are an only child, you can keep your hair at the age of 10, but you can't keep it all. Just leave four round or semicircular hairs on the front, back, left and right sides of the head as marks. This mark will be shaved off when you are ten years old.

Men's hats are mostly red cloth (other colors are also available), and the top of the hat has ears made of velvet. Ears are decorated with beads and other ornaments, and fur hats are worn in winter.

In Kirgiz costumes, men often wear a white felt hat (ak kalpak) made of wool or felt. Wear a collarless "loop" gown with a round neck shirt embroidered with lace inside, a belt outside, a knife in the left hand and so on. Wear short collars in summer and wide-leg pants with velvet seams in spring and autumn. Women usually wear dresses and small black vests, while southern women wear small vertical-necked shirts. Women wear headscarves and like to wear decorations. The diet is mainly dairy products and meat such as cattle, sheep, horses and camels, supplemented by pasta. I often drink cow's milk, sheep's milk and yogurt, and I like to drink Fu tea. Kirgiz people live on weeds, live in tents in summer, settle in warm valleys in winter and live in square adobe houses.

Kirk shepherds worship totems. The famous totems are wolves and deer.
