Some wear wool hats, like to hang backpacks, and wear short knives or long knives to look handsome. I like to cover a blanket when it is cold, and I often go barefoot all year round. In the past, Dai people had the custom of tattooing on chest, back, abdomen, limbs and other parts. Write symbols or patterns such as liger, Kirin and Peacock to show courage or pray for good luck.

women's clothes

Due to different distribution areas, there are regional differences in Yunnan Dai costumes, but there are not many traditional male costumes, and the characteristics of traditional costumes are mainly reflected by women's dresses. It can be divided into four types: Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Yuanjiang-Xinping and Yuanyang-Honghe-Jinping.

Dai women in Xishuangbanna generally wear white or crimson sleeveless suspenders, tight underwear inside, and tight-fitting tops with narrow sleeves and round necks outside. Their chests are big, chest to chest, and there are light red, light green and sky blue. Dai blouses, especially the western double-edition narrow-sleeved blouses, have a more unique national style, with slender sleeves, which are only enough to fit into one arm; The body of the shirt, except tight, only reaches the waist, and the swing of the back is not as good as that of the waist, revealing a little back, which adds a lot of color to the whole clothing.

She is wearing a long skirt with a long back, a small waist and a wide hem. Today, most of them are sewn with polyester, silk, georgette and other materials. Narrow-sleeved tops are tight-fitting, with slender sleeves and tight arms, with almost no gaps. If it is sewn with flesh-colored materials, you can't see the sleeves. The front and back skirts are waist-high and tightly wrapped around the body, and then the short-sleeved shirt and skirt are tied with silver belts, and the skirt just wraps the legs, which makes it look more slender and slim, giving people a handsome and elegant feeling no matter what you walk or do. There used to be several stripes on the skirt, and the number of stripes indicated class. These rules are so strict that no one can violate them. In this area, women have the habit of wearing shoes, such as pointed shoes, veneered shoes and slippers. The women's clothing of the Dai nationality in the mainland is basically the same as that of the frontier, but it has regional characteristics, and is often called "Huayao Dai" and "Sleeve Dai" by other ethnic groups.
