Reasons for the Development of Traditional Clothing in China

Due to the political stability and economic prosperity in the Tang Dynasty, culture and costumes developed greatly during this period. In addition, in the Tang Dynasty, because the society at that time showed an open and inclusive state, the clothing styles of this period had a great development. During this period, no matter in clothing style, pattern and color, it was very different from the previous dynasty, and the color became more beautiful.

The dress popular in the Tang Dynasty is a kind of dress that women in the Tang Dynasty like very much. Especially for the women in the upper class and the court, Fu skirt can make women show a kind of femininity, coupled with the change of makeup, so Fu skirt in this period was very popular with women at that time. In particular, some colorful skirts, such as some pink, red or green ones, are all the colors that women in the Tang Dynasty like. Moreover, most women in the Tang Dynasty like to add some gold and silver colored embroidery to the skirt, which can better show the beauty of the skirt.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the neckline of the skirt even developed to a bare neckline, which was characterized by a low neckline. At first, this style was only popular among court concubines and kabuki actors, but later, with the development of society, rich ladies began to try this style gradually.

Judging from the portraits of women on pottery figurines unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, bare collars were popular in the whole society at that time and were deeply loved by many women. The style of the skirt is usually like this: the waist of the skirt can be lifted up to become a tube top skirt, and wearing a gauze dress outside will make the skin looming.

In the Tang dynasty, because of the opening of women's thoughts, a trend of men's wear was set off. Because the social environment at that time was relatively relaxed, and the trade between the nomadic people and the Tang Dynasty was relatively frequent, many women would imitate the short-sleeved clothes of the nomadic people in their costumes.

Therefore, if it was combined with men's clothing in the Tang Dynasty, there would be a kind of women's clothing similar to men's clothing. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, it was more convenient for women to wear men's clothes to go out. At the same time, due to the patriarchal society in ancient times, the status of women was relatively low. Therefore, many women will be respected when they choose men's clothes to go to the streets.
