What do you think about Hmong clothes?

[Nxtawm]

Just curious to see what others thought of Hmong clothes. Hmong clothing often has vibrant colors with coins or beads sewn on and colorful stitching of patterns. They're actually quite expensive too. A plain white skirt can cost 25$-50$(not sure bout skirts with patterns but I assume they're more expensive), a shirt with a sash and apron can cost 100$-125$ and hats can be around 25$. Ofc this is just for general Hmong clothing used to take pictures, they can get more expensive or less depending on the specific outfit. There are other components too like the necklaces, belts (can be 25$-50$), or money bags. I'm not clear on a lot of the prices myself, I only know a bit.

Below are some examples of hmong clothing 😊

In these days, the clothing is rlly just worn for taking pictures, weddings, or Hmong tournaments

Tho the pics are definitely not a full representation of the clothing since there are many styles from more traditional/simple to modern day. Plus there are many Hmong groups (white, green, flower, black, etc) whose clothing are slightly different from each other's. I only know more of white and green Hmong clothing since thats what I see the most so it influenced my choice of pictures.

Also here's some belts I just got 😊 There's three in the picture for my mom, my sis, and me.

I would wear an outfit myself for this post since I got one that's simple but I'm too lazy 😂

What's some traditional clothing from your culture?

[COMMODOREII]

My ancestry has a lot of culture. This is what my culture is made of.

[Nxtawm]

😮 wow some of those are beautiful ✨

Not trying to be rude, but just brutally honest. I think traditional clothing looks super ugly in general. Not just yours specifically, my own as well.

[Nxtawm]

Lol that's true tho, but I think some look rlly pretty like traditional Chinese or Japanese clothing

[TallAnon]

There's always exceptions, but there's a reason we don't regularly wear it anymore.

You write a multi-paragraph story about the history of the clothes and then you're too lazy to wear them? 😋
Anyways, I like the look of them :) Especially the colors.

[Nxtawm]

Writing the paragraph isn't hard lol, I didn't dive in that deep into the history, I just explained what Hmong clothing is a bit. Plus I'm a talkative person anyway lol. Also what's some traditional clothing from your culture?

A lot of women like humongous clothes it don't matter whether they're fat thin short or tall

[Nxtawm]

Hmong clothes not humongous clothes 😂

[Jjpayne]

They look festive and colorful but I'd feel more interested as they related to culture

[jkm1864]

I think they have a beautiful culture that should be preserved.

[OpenWine]

[mrgspoter]

Not a lot really they took most of the history away I'm not sure.

[rssser]
