The Ute were historically divided into many small bands and grouped into the Northern Ute (Uinta), Southern Ute (Kapota and Mouache) and Ute Mountain (Weeminuche) tribes. They occupied many different types of terrain and had access to different resources.

Uinta men of Utah wore short breechclouts woven of sagebrush bark or other plant fibres; other Ute men made theirs of soft-tanned hide. When trade cloth became available all Ute men took to wearing very long (ankle-length) breechclouts of dark blue, black or dark red cloth. After 1800 the Utes copied men's shirts of Plains style, but with bunches of fringes under the arms. Men sometimes wore thigh-length deerskin leggings, often with flaps or fringe along the side of the lower leg. Many warriors wore no leggings but painted their legs with stripes of colour.

In the warm months western Ute women wore only a skirt or apron of shredded sagebrush bark. In the east deer were more plentiful and deerskin dresses were common, worn with short leggings decorated with brass bells or bunches of fringe.

Most people wore nothing on their feet, but sandals of yucca fibre were worn in harsh terrain - or sometimes simple moccasins of deer hide.

Winter robes were made of bear, elk or buffalo hides with the fur left on; the Uinta made robes of rabbit skins sewn together.

Many Ute warriors combed up the front portion of their hair or braided it, or wore it loose. Women either wore their hair long and loose or woven in two long braids.
