Lahu Women’s Dress
This long-sleeved women’s garment of the Lahu minority, featuring a lapel on the right side, closely resembles the traditional attire of Han Chinese peoples.
Ethnic minority groups in Southwest China commonly wear turbans or head wraps, a practice shared by both men and women in several communities. There are no strict guidelines for wrapping the headwear; it involves using a long piece of cloth of appropriate width to encircle the head and securing it in place.
