This article is written based on the author’s field ethnographic material with the involvement of the corresponding literary works on this issue. The article is devoted to the ecological functions of traditional men’s clothing of the peoples of Nagorny Dagestan (the Avars, the Laks, the Dargins). The main purpose of the article is to describe the traditional men’s clothing of the mountaineers of Dagestan, the environmental functions of which were reduced to the regulation of direct heat exchange between the human body and the environment, as the formation of special features of material culture, including clothing, was influenced by natural-geographical factors. The specific features of the traditional men’s clothing of the peoples of Nagorny Dagestan were determined by seasons: depending on the time of year, the specific composition of clothing and the material of manufacture varied. When writing the article, general scientific methods were used: (analysis, synthesis, induction), which allows to consider the role and place of men’s clothing of the mountaineers of Dagestan, to show in it the general and particular in connection with various conditions (social-ecological, ethnographic, ecological) of development of certain Dagestan regions. At the same time, the method of logical research, the task of which is to reveal the role played by individual elements of the system as part of the whole, has become important for this work. Together with general scientific methods, private research methods are used: the detection of the specific, descriptive method, etc. The study resulted in a coherent picture of the varieties of men’s clothing. The author presents them as separate complexes in accordance with seasons, which allows demonstrating the ecological functions of men’s clothing. The field of application of the research results is determined by the possibility of using them in the further study of the ethnography of Dagestan and the Caucasus. The scope of the research results is determined by the possibility of their use in further study of the ethnography of Dagestan and the Caucasus.
