The clothing of the Kyrgyz people, women often prefer red colors, wear short clothes, and some also wear dresses. The shirts are large and have a straight collar. The fabric clothes are simply sewn, while high-quality clothes are made with care, with silver buttons on the sleeves and front opening. Skirts are made with wide belts or folded silk into multiple pleats, forming a cylindrical shape, tied at the waist and with fur at the bottom. The inner clothing has a turned-up collar that is worn with a vest, and the vest has a very large collar, showing the inner clothing. A long coat is worn over the short clothes, mostly black, with a stand-up collar and open chest, and cotton is added in winter.

Women wear a round red silk velvet hat called "Takxi", which is covered with a headscarf. Another type of hat is called "Alichik", decorated with ornaments and embroidery. When wearing this hat, a embroidered soft cap is worn underneath. In winter, they wear "Karpak", made of felt, with a tassel on top, the hat surface made of wool or cloth, with openings on both sides, usually white. The latter two types of hats are more ancient, and few people wear them now.
