The main symbol of Hui costumes is the head. Men like to wear white round hats, and Hui women often wear hijab. Old Hui women wear black or brown headscarves in winter and white scarves in summer, and they have the habit of tying their trouser legs. Young women wear red, green or blue headscarves in winter and thin red, green and yellow scarves in summer. Hui women in mountainous areas love to wear embroidered shoes and have the habit of piercing their ears and wearing earrings.

Clothing function:

One is to protect the body. This is the objective necessity of human production, life and survival. Choose different clothes according to different seasons. In summer, Hui people in the north wear cotton-padded clothes, leather clothes, leather shoes, etc. In winter, Hui people in the northeast and northwest also wear cotton hats, leather hats or earmuffs to keep out the cold. Hui women also wear hijabs, scarves and so on to prevent sandstorms.

The second is the role of decoration. Everyone has a love of beauty, and Hui people are no exception, which is the inherent requirement of human beings to beautify themselves. For example, men wear shirts and green waistcoats, women count their forehead, dye their nails and embroider their clothes, all of which have decorative factors.
