Despite the fact that Turkmenistan is a Muslim state, and the laws here are harsh (for women, among other things), the concepts of style and fashion, in spite of everything, live even here. After all, a woman in any country remains a woman. Of course, the main clothing of Turkmen women remains the dress. It should be strict, hide everything unnecessary, and in no case short. At the same time, dresses are decorated mainly with national embroidery.
Important! Turkmen women are the most closed of all Muslim peoples, but at the same time the most beautiful. Their beauty lies in their unusualness - their facial features combine Eastern and European roots with an admixture of Mongoloid blood.
Modern styles of Turkmen dresses
Naturally, a Muslim woman in a long, wide dress that hides the beauty of her body is an old stereotype of Europeans. In fact, Today, even Muslim women brought up in the strictest rules look very impressive.
To begin with, we will divide the dresses of Muslim women into elegant, home and everyday ones.
Elegant
The elegant clothes of Turkmen women are mainly sewn to the floor. It can be on a thin or wide belt. Can be decorated with puff sleeves.
Made from fine fabric long sundress is very common Here.
By the way, Basque, fashionable today, very successfully trims Turkmen outfits.
REFERENCE! The peplum can be made of thick fabric, and the product itself can be decorated with delicate lace.
Homemade
At home, Turkmen girls also have to shine. Therefore, clothes are also selected with special care.
- Is very popular Jalabiya model with dolman sleeves.
- Very convenient also two-piece dress with a cape over the main one dresses.
- Occupies a special level model for home prayer with a scarf sewn to the collar. These clothes are usually very formal and dark in color.
Casual
Everyday dresses most often they do not have embroidery or national prints, but they emphasize the figure very well.
The most common is model with collar, reminiscent of polo models. Young Muslim women prefer options with a wide collar, hood and sleeves that stand out in color from the general background.
Models on the yoke, flared downwards, are the choice of ladies of all ages. The older generation wears a headscarf with it, and young representatives of Turkmenistan adorn the model with short blazers, jackets and various accessories.
Important! There is an unspoken rule in Turkmenistan: “If you want to be fashionable, wear national clothes.”
Fashion trends of Turkmen dresses
Turkmenistan rightfully holds the nickname of the most closed country in the world. Muslim traditions and laws are very strong here. Apparently, this affects the severity and modesty of the styles of women's outfits.
At the same time, judging by the photos from the streets of Turkmen cities, we must pay tribute to the fashionistas of this country. Fashion has its place here. In these places in the 2018-2019 season they also wear what is popular today in the fashion world:
- fitted silhouettes;
- dresses decorated with peplum;
- long polo shirts;
- models with high collars.
If we talk about popular fabrics, then the choice of local fashionistas will fall on flowing silk lightweight materials, denim, cotton, velvet. In the warm season, large floral prints, a riot of colors are appropriate, and openwork is a must.

With all due respect to the author of the article, most of the photographs have nothing in common with the real clothes of Turkmen girls, and I say this as a native resident of Turkmenistan. At home they never wear a “bat” dress, but wear ordinary floor-length dresses, three-quarter sleeves or so, made from inexpensive staples with patterns, sometimes with embroidery, but mostly - the home version is cheap, so without embroidery. Scarves are NEVER sewn to clothing. They are tied in a certain way (not at all like in the picture in your article) and are called baryk. Girls before marriage may not wear headscarves, but married ladies wear headscarves. And that picture with a woman in a headscarf has nothing to do with Turkmen women, because this is how headscarves are tied in Turkey or, perhaps, in the Emirates, but not in Turkmenistan. If you walk around like this, it will look strange.In general, thanks to the author for his interest in another culture, it’s just a pity that there are many inaccuracies.
