Hats: One of the most colorful and original items of Mongolian national dress is the traditional head wear. The Mongolian head dresses differed in shape and purpose; there were hats for the young and old, summer and winter & men & women, holidays and ceremonies & fashionable and everyday hats. There are 400 different styles.
De’el (Del): The Del is loose calf-length tunic made of one piece of material. It has long sleeves, a high collar and buttons on the right shoulder. Each ethnic group living in Mongolia has its own individual Del , distinguished by its cut, color and trimming.
The Del for everyday wear is gray, brown or some other dark color, white the holiday Del is a bright blue, green or claret silk with a silk sash of contrasting color several meters long.
There are basically three types of dels. The "Dan Del" is made of light, bright materials and is worn by women during the late spring and summer. The "terleg" is a slightly more padded version and both men and women. The winter Del is serious, padded tunic lined with sheep skin, or layers of row cotton. Dels have the same cut whether worn by men or women. Male Dels are just wider and in more somber colors.
A Del is generally made of silk in a variety of traditional patterns but many nomads will also have one or more made of animal fur – usually sheep or goat skin but occasionally wolf or bear – that they keep for winter.
Boots: Mongolian boots are made of hand-stitched leather and typically stop short just below the knee. The boots are generally wide soled with a pointed and slightly raised toe to allow for greater ease when walking through mud, snow or sand. And they can be worn in all sessions with thick felt socks added in winter and removed in summer.
