Historical background of gentlemen's men's wear
However, the main position of clothing reflecting people's living standards and aesthetic concepts seems to have never changed. In ancient times, China was known as "the country of clothes" and "the country of etiquette". In the long cultural river of 5,000 years, clothing culture has also changed with the times. However, after the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the feudal monarchy, compared with the Qing Dynasty, the costumes of the Republic of China did not change at all, and they were still dominated by robes and mandarin jackets.

1. In the late Qing Dynasty,

With more and more international students, suits began to be brought back to China by intellectuals, but they were not popular. Until 19 19, suit, as a new culture, began to attack the traditional "national quintessence" costumes, robes and mandarin jackets, and gradually became popular. The Zhongshan suit is also customized on the basis of the suit. Dr. Sun Yat-sen integrated the characteristics of Chinese and western costumes and designed a suit of "Chinese tunic suit" with China characteristics.

2. In the most gentlemanly Italy,

Since 1857, many well-known men's wear brands such as Borsalino, Ermenegildo Zegna, Brioni, etc. 10 have been born. Men from middle-income families usually wear Incotex and Corneliani brands, because clothing is a symbol of status and status on some occasions.

Italian men from high-income families move from high-end brand men's wear to private tailors, so that they can be unique and have more face in both life and business occasions; Some Italian men's wear is luxurious, some is low-key and rich in texture, and some designs follow the neoclassical route. Various Italian styles have laid a solid position for Italian men's wear in the world, so Italy is known as the father of men's wear in the world.

With the continuous development of economy and society, men's wear in China is also developing rapidly. At the end of the 20th century, men's wear in China was dominated by "veteran cadres". Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of national income level, the quality of clothes and clothes is gradually put on the agenda. Men's wear of this quality like Dickoni is becoming more and more common in people's sight, and its style is extremely unique and eye-catching. When men begin to pay attention to the quality of clothes, men's wear embodies their own value and taste.

If it is the first leap for men to pay attention to dress from the initial emphasis on wearing warm clothes to the later introduction of suits, then the second leap is definitely about wearing clothes on occasions. Nowadays, men on different occasions are very particular about dressing up. For example, when wearing a suit, the colors most easily accepted by the public are light blue and light gray in black, followed by brown and beige. The texture should be pure wool, because wool is better than any other material in visual effect; When wearing a shirt, we must pay attention to two principles. One is to wear a shirt longer than the coat, and the other is to wear a white or light blue shirt. Men who pay great attention to clothes in the west once realized the truth of wearing: "The lighter the color of a shirt, the more subtle the background color, the better the impression it leaves."
