Based on the article of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev "Seven Edges of the Great Steppe", published in November 2018 for the implementation of the program "Spiritual Revival" of the Republic of Kazakhstan, I would like to think about some facts.

Throughout the history of mankind, from the time of Adam and Eve, mankind has gone through long and difficult stages of development by fighting against various challenges of the mysteries of nature in order to survive and procreate. Mankind's struggle for survival has become a great art today. If space is the measure of everything, then time is the measure of events at different times. There is a saying that when this space and time are combined, the national history begins. And for Kazakhstanis, one of the main issues is the deep study of the history of Kazakhstan and its correct understanding. There is all the data for that. Mankind used seamless garments in the Paleolithic period, while in the Neolithic, that is, after mastering the art of weaving, spinning, weaving, there were types of clothing worn over the shoulders and neck. For example, the Indians wore sari, shalma kise, the Romans wore toga, and the ancient Greeks wore gimati. In the past centuries, clothing was associated with the change of seasons, changes in heat and cold, but over time, it has evolved in response to age, gender, social status, and religious beliefs. Great people say that the most beautiful clothes are national clothes. The type and style of national costumes of the Kazakh people are no less than any other nation. His works are in ethnographic museums and exhibitions around the world. In the culture of the nation, valuable clothes were a gift, a monument in diplomatic relations.Giving a horse and a robe is a sign of respect.

"The value of a thing is not in its luster, but in its quality," he said. Kazakh national clothes are made only from pure natural materials: animal skins, wool, felt, leather and fabric. In general, the handicrafts of the Kazakh people are a rich treasure that has been developing and flourishing since ancient times. One of its main branches is sewing.The national costumes of the Kazakh people are distinguished not only as an advanced example of handicrafts, but also with a variety of ornaments and ornaments adapted to the conditions of the steppe. I think that while preserving the ornaments of the ancient Kazakh national costumes, we can use a variety of modern clothes and jewelry, and fill our everyday wardrobe with national costumes. It is possible to instill a sense of patriotism in young people through clothes made in the national style. It is necessary to support domestic production and open the way for a number of clothes and jewelry made of environmentally friendly materials. For example, what is wrong with putting Kazakh national elements in the costumes and ties of schoolchildren, students and civil servants in everyday work ?! We should make every effort to export our domestic products, offering quality clothes with our national elements to foreigners. According to Abai, "a person's behavior, place in society, personality are determined by the way of dressing," so if young people in the country dress fashionably and beautifully, their quality of life will improve.
