The Distinctive Characteristics and Cultural Evolution of Tibetan Traditional Clothing
Tibetan clothing has a long history, with traditional attire from various regions sharing many similarities. The basic characteristics include a wide waist, long sleeves, a broad lapel, and right-side fastening, with leather and pulu (a traditional woolen fabric) as the primary materials. Tibetan clothing is often adorned with items such as coral, agate, cat's eye stones, and pearls.
