What are the characteristics of Tibetan costumes?

Tibetan costumes are characterized by fat waist, long sleeves, big waist, right split, long skirt, boots, braided hair, gold and silver, pearls and jade ornaments.

Due to the long-term closure, generally speaking, there is little vertical difference in the development of Tibetan costumes, and the color tone changes little. The shape and texture of Tibetan costumes largely depend on the ecological environment of Tibetan people and the production and lifestyle formed on this basis. Therefore, the regional characteristics of Tibetan costumes are obvious.

Herdsmen in pastoral areas in northern Tibet wear leather clothes almost all year round. The surface of the fur robe is smooth and outward, and the front, back and cuffs are made into large patterns with colored lines. Generally speaking, men's fur robes are relatively simple to handle, while women's Tibetan robes are more complicated. The back should be trimmed side by side with many wide ribbons in four colors: black, red, green and purple.

The number is mostly five to seven, and some are all leather. Women in northern Tibet are also used to braiding their hair into countless pigtails. Because of the cold in northern Tibet, it is difficult for people to wash and comb their hair several times a year. Moreover, they directly braid pinecones, agates, corals and amber, which are hard to see in agricultural areas and towns.
