While in the agricultural area woolen clothes are common, in the grasslands, sheepskin is widespread. The Tibetan robes, which serve as blankets at night, are very long and are worn down to the knees with the extra length tucked and held up by a waistband or belt. The robe produces two large pockets, one in front and another at the back, for people to carry things, including babies. When it is hot in the daytime, one may undress both arms and tie the sleeves around the waist. However, some people like the Hans wear Western dresses.
Tibetan cadets wear the standard Chinese cadets' uniforms.
The collar holds a special significance in the traditional attire. For men, the collar is sometimes made of leopard or fox belt. For women, the collar is made of red cloth or several strips of bright colored cloths or corduroys. It is necessary to have a belt to tie up the Tibetan dress. Usually the belt is well decorated and made of red, yellow, pink or light green silk.
