Tajik costumes have distinctive characteristics in Chinese minority costume culture. According to Xuanzang's records of the western regions of the Tang Dynasty, the appearance and dress of the royal family in the state of jupantuo are "the same as those of China, with Square jewelry and crowns, and Hu clothes.". It reflects the characteristics of ancient Tajik costumes.

Tajik clothing is closely related to its living environment, including men's clothing, women's clothing and children's clothing, including hat (single hat, leather hat), scarf, coat, pants (leather, cotton, single), skirt (cloth, silk, satin), belt, felt boots, leather boots and women's jewelry.

As a result of living in the Pamir Plateau for many years, the clothing of Tajik mainly consists of cotton, leather and sandwich, and there is no obvious four seasons clothing. However, the clothing of leather, wool, cloth, silk, velvet, silk and many other original Aheqi County festival activities, more than 100 falcons entered the scene.

The choice of materials, the use of clothing patterns, the collocation of colors, the design of women's clothing, the modeling and wearing of jewelry all reflect the aesthetic taste and psychology of the Tajik nationality, and reflect the national characteristics and national character, which has a deep cultural connotation.

The clothing of Tajik nationality has obvious national characteristics, bright colors and rich colors, which form a sharp contrast with their living environment. In the use of color is very bold, strong contrast, with a visual impact; in the modeling and style, it is chic and full of beauty.

There are obvious differences in gender, age, married and unmarried. Women's clothing is mainly red, which is gorgeous; men's clothing is mainly black and dark color, which is solemn.

The Tajik nationality is one of the ethnic groups with a small population in China, with unique clothing style, gorgeous colors and distinctive ethnic characteristics, which is a certain representative of the ethnic minorities in China. It is valuable to study the costume culture and costume history of Chinese minorities.

With the development of transportation and the prosperity of clothing market, modern clothing with various forms, easy to wear and low price is more and more favored by Tajik people. Traditional clothing with high price, complicated production and inconvenient wearing is gradually eliminated. Fewer and fewer people can make Tajik traditional clothing, and the production of traditional clothing seems to have no successor. The traditional ethnic costumes of the Tajik nationality are in danger.
