Tujia Clothes

The costume of Tujia ethnic minority is greatly affected by that of the Han people. Only in some remote areas, they keep some traditional costumes.

For instance, women wear a big jacket with buttons on the left and short and wide sleeves, and a long skirt. The jacket is usually embroidered with two or three flowery edges. They arrange the hair into a bun, and wear a hat or wrap the head with a piece of cloth. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets are their favorite accessories.

Men wear a short shirt with more than ten cloth buttons down the front, and a long kerchief around the head. The materials for making clothes are mainly homespun black or blue cotton and flax.
