Tang Clothing is based on the design of the waistcoat.

Western countries call "China Street" as "China Town", the English pronunciation is very much like "Tang", so it is translated as "Chinatown".

Based on the Chinese language, the Chinese people in the streets of the Chinese towns are called "Tang Clothing", and the Chinese clothes worn by the "Tang people" in these streets are called "Tang Clothing".

According to the opinion of Ms. Yu Ying, the main designer of the Manchu-style "Tang clothes" worn by the heads of state at the APEC meeting, Manchu-style "Tang clothes" should be the common name for Chinese clothes, so when the clothes were first designed, the design team discussed the name of the clothes together, and it was decided that the name of the clothes should be the same as the name of the clothes. Therefore, when the design team discussed the name of the garment after designing the garment, the process of deciding to name the garment as "Tang Suit" was y influenced by this interpretation of "Tang Suit" which is "exported to domestic sales". However, the Manchu style "Tang" is totally inadequate to represent the entire Chinese clothing system. This kind of "Tang" is evolved from the waistcoat, and its style structure has four major features: First, the vertical collar, the center of the blouse front opening, vertical collar; second, the continuous sleeve, that is, the sleeve and the clothes as a whole has no seams, to the plane cutting; third, the placket, but also can be oblique placket; fourth, the right-angle buttons, that is, the plate, buttons by the knot and the tabs of the buttons of the two parts of the composition. . In terms of fabrics, brocade fabrics are mainly used. This "Tang suit" is not a garment of the Tang Dynasty, but a modified waistcoat.

The new Tang suit refers to the clothing of the 20 Chinese and foreign leaders of the 2001 APEC meeting, which is actually a combination of the Manchu waistcoat with a collar and Western-style tailoring. This time the APEC leaders' clothing style outlook is summarized as follows.

Jacket (men):

Standing collar, lapel, collar and placket stops with colorful material piping; two pieces of the front piece of clothing does not save no folding, the front placket nailed a row of seven grape buttons, two pieces of the back piece of clothing, back seam stitching, two pieces of sleeve sleeves, shoulder pads at the shoulder, left and right hemstitch at the hem of the fork.

Jacket (female):

Standing collar, lapel, cuffs, collar and placket stops trimmed with colorful material; two pieces of the front garment piece are waisted and pleated, and a row of six grape buttons is pinned on the front placket; two pieces of the back garment piece are waisted and back-seam pieced; two pieces of sleeves are fitted with padded shoulders; and the left and right hemlines are open at the hemline.

Shirt (men):

Standing collar, placket; two front pieces, one left breast pocket; nine dragonfly buttons nailed to the front placket arranged in three "king" characters, one back piece, two layers of shoulder width potential, one sleeve long sleeve, wide cuffs stapled three dragonfly buttons arranged in a " king" character. Wang".

Shirt (women):

Standing collar, placket; cuffs, collar and placket stop with colorful material embedded line; front piece of two pieces of the waist province to play the chest pleat, the front placket nailed five dragonfly buttons; back piece of a piece of the waist province, a sleeve short-sleeved.

The reason why the seemingly simple but actually uncomplicated style of the jacket and shirt can stand out, apart from luck, the greatest success lies in the tight grasp of the traditional clothing features. Stand-up collars, button-downs and handmade cloth buttons. There are only stand-up collars and collarless collars for collars, only buttons for plackets and slash plackets, only straight sleeves and continuous sleeves for sleeves, and the vast majority of buttons are made of fabric. And these basically unchanged features of the costume are visible to the world ****.

Of course. If the style of clothing only Manchu clothing features and no modern modeling is not successful. Such as due to the shoulder and sleeve of Manchu clothing is not divided, so its front and rear pieces of clothing is also a joint, although more comfortable to wear but looks less beautiful. While modern clothing puts beauty in a prominent position, emphasizing the perfect combination of clothing modeling and human body shape, especially in the shoulder and sleeve parts is a modern modeling of the traditional modeling of a kind of innovation. Therefore, this time the modern shoulder sleeve modeling reasonable combination of Manchu clothing is also worthy of praise.

The Manchu "Tang suit" is a combination of traditional and modern products originating from the Manchu waistcoat. It draws on the cultural flavor of Manchu clothing styles and fabrics, while adopting elements of Western dress. The Tang suit is a modified version of the waistcoat. It inherits the characteristics of the waistcoat and makes the waistcoat come back to the stage of fashion. Many improvements have been made to the existing full-fledged "Tang suit". For example, Chinese clothing is rarely used with sleeves, because even sleeves are equal to clothing without shoulders, and can not be used after the pad, so the shoulders are not beautiful enough: traditional Chinese clothing is not waist, women wearing a lack of curvaceous, Chinese clothing are changed into waist: the past skirt hemline is very narrow, walking can only take a broken step, the hemline is now made large, easy to move; there are also cheongsam, the placket of the Qing Dynasty is particularly high, although modern people are much more open than in the past, but wearing Though modern people are much more open than in the past, it is still a bit awkward to wear, so the placket is much lower.

Tang clothing fabrics are no longer limited to brocade fabrics, leather Manchu "Tang" has been on the market and began to slowly popularized in the white-collar class. Leather and full "Tang" combination not only retains the original graceful and noble, rich and casual flavor, while leather fabrics and production processes to make it appear straight. Tang" was given some Western-style features, so that "Tang" can get out of the workplace, holiday clothing, small space, daily life as well as work can be worn, broadening the Tang wear occasions. Fabrics

Tang clothing is generally silk, brocade and other major fabrics. As these are natural fabrics, they generally shrink, so when shopping, ask the merchant whether they have done the shrinkage treatment, and if the fabric is single-selected to ask the tailor to make it, you should explain the fabric situation to him, so as not to be able to wear the clothes again after washing. When purchasing dyed fabrics for Tang clothes, you may want to rub your hands together first to see if the color drops out.

When selecting fabrics for clothing, you should also combine them with your own temperament. Because the styles and fabrics suitable for young people and the elderly are different, young people shopping should be satin, silk fabrics are better.

Today there are many fabrics that can also be used to make full-fledged tunic. For men, the stiffness and spontaneity of denim is more in keeping with a man's sensibilities than soft silk. If it's too casual, try the luxury of fur paired with delicate plate buttons, but if leather is used for a full tang, its softness becomes rugged and relatively more suitable for men.
