Tibetans, regardless of sex, generally wear robes and belts. Men pleat at the back of the robe, and women pleat at the left and right sides at the back of the robe. There is also a habit that both men and women should pleat the back and sides of the robe. However, in the past, officials' clothing had special symbolic significance with the level of their official positions. There are also various types of costumes among the people, such as the details, advantages and disadvantages of nobles, ordinary people and civilians.
The formation of Tibetan costume customs is closely related to the natural environment, climatic conditions, production and lifestyle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where Tibetan people live, which embodies the collective wisdom of the nation and contains the aesthetic consciousness and interest of the nation. In the process of the formation and development of style and structure, Tibetan costumes are deeply influenced by natural conditions, labor production and cultural exchanges.
Improve Tibetan clothing:
In the early 1990s, there was a wave of "improving Tibetan costumes" in Lhasa, and a "T-shaped platform" was built. All Tibetan skirts are redesigned on the stage, and the design is very modern, such as male Tibetan robes. The designer cut the robe in half and put it on the lower part. The overall effect is still like a robe.
