Are the clothes we wear oriental or western?

As mentioned in the last article, regional differences and different dress logic mean that what we see is the culture of different countries and people's understanding of different clothes.

Then a very important question comes. Do you think we China people are wearing oriental clothes or western clothes now?

Many people say it is oriental, but after searching for a long time, I found that there are not many oriental designs and elements in our clothes now. Some people say that we are wearing suits.

Some children's shoes say that we should be a combination of eastern and western clothes. In fact, the correct answer is that we all wear suits.

For example:

1 The shirt we are wearing now comes from western-style British men's wear and was designed 200 years ago. In fact, there were also "shirts" in ancient China, which were short coats worn by women and were called "shirts".

19 in the 1940s, after western-style shirts were introduced to China, China directly wore western-style shirts. China's ancient "shirt" gradually withdrew from the historical stage before it had a chance to be improved.

The T-shirts we wear come from the underwear of western men. Since 1950s, Marlon Brando began to wear this kind of dress outside in A Streetcar Named Desire, which was widely circulated and gradually became feminine. Now, it is worn by boys and girls in our East.

3. The jeans we wear come from the western cowboy culture. Cowboys in the western United States are heroes and mysterious figures.

From 18 to 19, a group of pioneers with enthusiasm, courage, adventure and fighting spirit came to the western United States to pioneer, that is, western cowboys, mainly to control cattle. They are pioneers in developing the west.

The printed long skirt we wear comes from Bohemian culture. As long as Bohemia is mentioned, many children's shoes immediately think of tassels and printed long skirts. If these elements are piled together, everyone will think it is bohemian.

In fact, Bohemia is a wandering culture, which shows young people's anti-war sentiment and their desire for freedom, love and peace.

Some clothes show the hippie elements I once wrote through Bohemian style. Hippie style is a style that combines Bohemian culture with western clothing.

Because it is a trend of thought from westerners, so we say that symbolic collocation and expression is actually a very superficial and lack of connotation.

So most (not all) of the clothes we wear come from western culture, and now we are basically wearing western-style clothes.

What kind of clothes are from China? China ancient oblique-breasted clothes, cheongsam, etc. Chinese clothes are reserved and not easy to put on.

Nowadays, young people seldom wear cheongsam to the streets. Suits are convenient and comfortable to wear. We have worn them for many years. Not only clothes, but many things, the simpler, the easier it is to be accepted by the public.

Therefore, it is a great pity that China's cultural costumes have not been handed down.

By the way, many children's shoes are right. Do you have to wear black to be slim? Can't you wear more than three colors? These questions are quite tangled.

Of course, there can be more than three colors on the car body, but it needs to be reconciled through aesthetic feeling and proportion. If you want to be slim, you can only wear black, which is also a very one-sided concept.

Actually, we want to look thinner. In addition to wearing black, you can also make yourself look thinner through the tailoring and lines of clothes, the degree of self-cultivation and the visual illusion. So these two concepts are actually the most one-sided concepts in collocation.
