Salar men usually wear white shirts, black vests, belts, trousers, Ludi shoes or cloth shoes, and black or white domes. Most belts are red and green, while most pants are black and blue.

Salar people create unique national costumes according to their different times and environments, different economic lifestyles and even different climate characteristics. The earliest costume was the style of nomadic people in Central Asia. Men usually wear a rolled-up suede hat, half-length leather boots and a red woven "Napa clip" around their waist.

Women wear the same clothes as men, except red and green scarves. Later, men usually wore big jackets or robes and trousers with a cloth belt around their waist, while the rich wore silk belts, black or white hexagonal hats and flat shoes. Old people wear robes and "Muslim headscarves" when they worship.
