This article explores the role of clothing as a cultural, social, and psychological phenomenon that influences the formation of women’s power and confidence in Uzbek society. It analyzes how the choice and interpretation of clothing reflect social norms, gender expectations, and women’s personal identity.

The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating sociological research, cultural analysis, and interviews with women from different generations.
