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. |
