Traditional Kazakhstani Clothes
Peace Corps Volunteers Susan and Paul have an amusing photo essay up on women’s dress in Pavlodar. Obviously there’s some selection but common themes include tight pants, short skirts and high heels. No boring, conservative industrial pumps for Pavlodar women. Also considering that one of the most common cultural differences Westerners often note in Kazakhstan is the terror of the cold, it’s kind of funny to see women running around in mini-skirts even with snow on the ground.
