Traditional dress in China 4 - Ethnic Tibetan

Traditional dress in China 4 - Ethnic Tibetan


All Tibetans, men and women, like to wear hats and ornaments. Men usually wear a queue coiled on top of the head. The Tibetan robe worn by men is broad and is normally fastened under the right arm, while the women's are slightly narrower with or without sleeves.  Men typically wear white shirts with high collars,  while women wear various colors with turn-down collars. Both men and women wear trousers and woolen or leather boots. 

It is popular for Tibetan women to wear aprons. There are two kinds of aprons wide stripes ones and narrow stripes ones. The wide stripes one is with contrast, bright colors, as beautiful as rainbows. The narrow stripes one is with harmonic colors, elegant and graceful.
