What are the characteristics of Uygur costumes?

The traditional Uighur men's coat is called "loop", which is knee-length, wide-sleeved, collarless and buttonless, and has a long belt around the waist. Women usually wear dresses, vests or tops. Uighurs, regardless of gender, age and age, like to wear gaba (four-eye flower hat) and embroider various ethnic patterns with black and white or colored silk threads.

In the past, Uighur men usually wore a long coat with wide sleeves, no collar and no buttons, and a long waist towel around their waist, which could play the role of buttons and pockets and carry food and other odds and ends with them.

Waist towels vary in length, up to more than 2 meters long, and there are also square waist towels, which are tied at an angle to the waist. Waist towels are mostly black, brown, blue and other dark colors. Usually the waist scarf is not very particular. The waist towels in festivals are usually very bright, some are printed and some are embroidered.

Uighur women love to wear skirts. They like to choose bright silk or wool to cut skirts. Common materials are red, big green and gold, and light-colored skirts are worn inside. I prefer the original "Adelaide Silk" sewing dress.
