The costumes of women of Khorezm differ from the clothes of women in other regions of Uzbekistan in the shape of headdresses that have preserved ancient features, in the color range, in which all shades of red prevail – from pale pink and bright red, to dark cherry or burgundy lilac with lilac or blue shade, as well as the lack of embroidery in the decor.
The clothes of women in the southern and northern regions of the oasis differed in details. The set of clothes consisted of a guinak undershirt-dress and ishton pants; outerwear elak (yalak) or misak (in the south), chapan (in the north), quilted on a thin layer of cotton wool; chapan quilted with embossed stitch; head capes burqa (in the south) and jegda (in the north), takhia for girls and young women, lachak (in the north) and bosh level (in the south), makhsa shoes, kavush.
