Kazakh clothing, worn by the Kazakh people, is often made of materials suited to the region's extreme climate and the people's nomadic lifestyle.[1] It is commonly decorated with elaborate ornaments made from bird beaks, animal horns, hooves and feet.[2] Although contemporary Kazakhs usually wear Western dress, the Turkic people wear more traditional clothing for holidays and special occasions.[3]
