What is the difference between China and the West in the style of clothes?

I. Modern Chinese Clothing

①Men's Clothing. In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a parallel situation between suits and robes and coats. In the early years of the Republic of China, suits and robes went hand in hand with coats and waistcoats. In the countryside, the traditional jacket and pants have always been used, wearing a felt hat or bucket hat, and wearing cloth shoes sewn by the family.

②Women's clothing. The Xinhai Revolution brought diversification, a jacket and pants, and more use of jacket and skirt suit. 20 years, women love cheongsam, cheongsam gradually become fashion and never decline.

Two, Western modern

The birthplace and center of Western modern clothing culture is France. 1672 Paris published the world's first introduction to the clothing style periodical "Pretty Makeup Letters"; 1900 Paris held the first world fashion exposition; the beginning of the twentieth century, the French master of the Paul Poiret (Paul Poiret) boldly abolished the "corset", "the corset", "the corset", "the corset", "the corset", "the corset", "the corset", "the corset". "corset", began to make women's clothing to the modern road, so the development of French clothing culture is the development of the Western modern clothing culture is typical of the development of the culture, the analysis of the French clothing culture helps to understand the structure and essence of the Western modern clothing culture.

The most important feature of French clothing is that it is national in character, which expresses the historical tradition and spiritual connotation of the French nation, maintains the aristocratic atmosphere of the French court and integrates the simplicity and generosity of the modern life, so the French clothing embodies the combination of tradition and reality. France has maintained and developed its past traditions in all aspects, including French architecture, French townscape and even French language and literature. Clothing is only one expression of this custom. The French do not think very carefully, but they have a strong sense of art. Although there are famous thinkers such as Voltaire, Diderot, Rousseau, etc., except for Montesquieu, other people's ideas are more contagious, more encouraging, but all lack of systematic. Although France has the giants of classicism, romanticism and realism, such as Molière, Hugo and Balzac, the French people have the color of romanticism in their bones, even if Balzac, the peak of realism, his own life experience is not full of realistic rationality, but rather, it is a manifestation of the romantic impulse. In this cultural background, the French clothing culture also has a lack of prudent but very infectious characteristics.

French clothing culture comes from the aristocratic clothing culture which has a history of hundreds of years. Historically, the aristocratic clothing culture has produced such famous tailors as R. Bettan, and there are so-called fashion workshops and boutiques. However, clothing at that time was basically individual-centered in both production and design, and only served specific individuals, without forming a real clothing industry. The so-called fashion workshops and fashion stores only had the basic form of workshops and stores, and were not similar to the fashion workshops and fashion stores of today. All this makes the aristocratic clothing culture is limited to a small world, and does not have a wide range of influence.
