Facebook decorated by pictures posed with national costumes
映像Mongolians broadly use social media. In regard to the start of the Year of the Fire Monkey, social networks were full of posts of best wishes and good omens, pictures of people dressed up in national deel, of tables overstocked with ceremonial meals and of rituals of greeting the mother earth and the golden sun.
These images are the vivid indication of Mongolians’ renewed respect for the traditions and national heritages and values. You can see that the national costume – Deel – is becoming more stylish while adapting to the modern trends.
Deels differ in their sizes of sleeves, collars and lap, depending on the occupations and motions of people who are wearing them.
Today, the herdsmen wear deel on daily basis in its original form for their livelihoods, while people from urban areas dress up in fashionable national costumes for special occasions.
Young people tend to wear national costumes more often than in previous years. With the taking of Tsagaan Sar over the social networks, contests were underway among people posing for photos with national costumes on.
