Characteristics of Mongolian costumes

Mongolian costumes have a strong grassland style, mainly robes, which are convenient for pommel horse riding, mainly including robes, belts, Mongolian boots, jewelry and so on.

Mongolians have their own traditional costumes, namely, robes with right lapels, high collars, long sleeves, fat edges and no slits at the hem. Usually, I often wear cloth clothes. On New Year's Day or festive days, I usually wear satin clothes with brocade edges. They like to use contrasting colors such as red, green and blue.

Both men and women like to wear bright belts, which are also important accessories for the upper body. Men usually wear Mongolian knives on both sides of their belts and hang a string of fire sickles and snuff bottles. Men and women love to wear high boots, and pastoral areas like to wear fragrant cattle boots and high-waisted riding boots. Although I don't wear boots in rural areas at ordinary times, I still have the habit of wearing boots with various patterns embroidered on the surface and waist on New Year's Day.

The origin of Mongolian costumes;

The origin of Mongolian costumes can be traced back to distant prehistoric times. As early as the Paleolithic Age, humans began to decorate themselves with leaves of plants, and later made clothes out of hunting skins. On the rock paintings of nomadic people in the north, ancient humans in the Mongolian plateau have been seen, with a short animal skin skirt around their waist, feathers on their heads, and some hips and tails.

Moreover, there were a large number of rough stone rings, bone ornaments and other items at that time, indicating that the nomadic people in the north had aesthetic intentions and aesthetic pursuits long ago. Archaeological data show that the costumes of Mongolians are in the same strain as the costumes of ancient northern nomadic people in China. The headdress of Xiongnu women who eat animal meat and fur felt is very similar to that of Chahar women, and the clothing culture of Xiongnu has been passed on to northern nomadic peoples such as Xianbei, Rouran and Turkic, and of course to Mongols.
