Mongolian Clothes

The Mongolian people generally wear blue or black clothes. Women's upper garments include three layers: the first layer is a leotard with sleeves reaching the wrists, the second is the one in the middle reaching the buttock with sleeves only reaching the elbow, and the third layer is a collarless and sleeveless waistcoat with a row of round silver buttons. The exposed collars and sleeves, as well as waistcloth are embroidered with flowery patterns and laces, and the round buttons are shiny, looking very magnificent. This three-piece suit costs a piece of cloth about 10 meters long.

The Mongolians, no matter their age and gender, wear long robes embroidered with laces. When wearing such robes, they usually tie colorful silk waistcloth, wear leather boots or felt boots, and wrap their head with red and blue kerchiefs.

Nowadays, except old people, the Mongolians generally wear uniforms and only wear long robes in festivals or weddings. Women like to wear skirts and kerchiefs in various colors in all seasons.
