However, don't be in a hurry to match the picture in your mind with a background**, because next, I want to take you to appreciate the charm of Mongolian costumes with a relaxed and witty brushstroke, which is guaranteed to make you laugh and learn!
First of all, let's start with the most representative costume of the Mongolian people, the Mongolian robe. With its unique design and practicality, Mongolian robes have become the basic style of daily wear of Mongolian people. It is usually made of brightly colored silk or cotton cloth and is loose and comfortable for riding. But do you know what is the most interesting secret of the Mongolian robe? That's its "** pocket"! True, Mongolian robes don't have obvious pockets, but that doesn't stop clever Mongolians from inventing tricks for hidden objects, such as sleeves, belts, and even boots, which can be used as temporary "lockers".
Next, we have to talk about Mongolian headdresses. Men and women, young and old, each with a hat on their head that represents their identity and status. Men's hats are usually in the shape of a pointed top, decorated with eagle feathers, symbols of courage and wisdom; Ladies prefer yarmulke hats embroidered with intricate patterns, as if they were a miniature version of a garden on their heads. Moreover, the Mongolian hat also has a magical function - weather forecasting! Yes, you heard it right, based on the swing of the ornament on the hat, Mongolians can roughly judge the strength of the wind, which is more environmentally friendly than modern smartphones!
As for shoes, the traditional Mongolian boots can be described as "all-round sneakers". Not only do they have a unique shape, but the soles also adapt to any terrain, whether it's desert, grassland or mountain, providing excellent grip. Moreover, this kind of boot also has a feature, that is, "one boot is multi-purpose". Whether it's horseback riding, walking or dancing, a good pair of boots can accompany you, and you can truly "walk to the **, wear it to the **".
Of course, we cannot fail to mention the jewelry in Mongolian costumes. Mongolians like to wear silver jewelry, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc., which are not only beautiful and generous, but also reflect the moonlight at night, and are said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits. Just imagine, when you get lost on the grassland, you just have to look up and look for those sparkling silver lights, and you can find your way home, how romantic and practical!
Finally, let's talk about the colors of Mongolian costumes. Mongolians prefer bright colors such as blue, red, and yellow. They believe that these colors bring good luck and happiness. So, when you see the colorful Mongolian robes on a steppe, don't think it's a big carnival, it's just a part of the daily life of the Mongolian people.
