A chuba (), also called a chhupa, is a warm ankle-length unisex robe worn in Tibet and by members of the Tibetan diaspora. It is worn with the left side wrapped over the right and bound around the waist by a long sash. The design and material of the chuba varies across Tibetan communities and the climate and season it will be worn in.
