Is it fashionable to wear cheongsam now

Fashion.

Cheongsam belongs to the quintessence of our country. Cheongsam is a unique costume of oriental women, which perfectly outlines the slender and feminine figure curve of oriental women. Cheongsam is most suitable for oriental women, because it is constantly changing to meet people's aesthetic and life needs.

Since its birth, cheongsam has been constantly developing and changing, which is closely related to the evolution of fashion, the development of urban life and the spread of new ideas. The fashion of the times and the little progress of women's thoughts are all revealed in every small change of cheongsam.

It is often used to describe the graceful posture of a woman wearing cheongsam. A good cheongsam is a combination of implication and tailoring. Accurately measure 36 parts of the human body, and through complex processes such as "inlaying, inlaying, rolling, inlaying, embroidering, sticking, painting and nailing", a classic cheongsam can be achieved after several carvings.

Extended data:

There are two popular theories about the origin of cheongsam. One is that, as the name implies, it evolved from the traditional dress of Manchu women-flag dress. Flag dress is the standard court dress of Qing Dynasty. When Manchu aristocratic women wear flag clothes, they wear an arched bun, high-heeled shoes and flowerpots on their feet. The early cheongsam was made wider and the cuffs were inlaid with a lot of lace, so the decoration was more complicated.

At the beginning of last century, people could not find the direction of clothing, especially in some formal occasions, including some ceremonial occasions. Some young students who came back from studying abroad absorbed foreign clothing elements and combined them with China traditional clothing to make a new kind of clothing.

The collar of this coat is tight and high, and the sleeves are tight, which tightly wraps the body and makes people look energetic. The skirt part is sometimes the same color as the top, sometimes it is black, and it feels full of vitality. This kind of clothing was the most fashionable at that time, and it was named "new clothes for civilization".

The new clothes of civilization took a step forward, and the elongated body was combined with Manchu cheongsam, and the modern cheongsam was born. Another view is that although it is called "Qipao", it has little to do with Manchu costumes, but is closely related to the development of urban life and the spread of new ideas.

Some experts believe that the style of the flag dress is wide and straight, the fabric is heavy, the pattern is slender and complicated, and the neckline, cuffs, skirt and hem are decorated with lace, so it will look good if it is inlaid more. This kind of clothing style is indeed similar to the later "cheongsam", and the texture is more slim and light. But in fact, from the analysis of clothing details, the two are far apart. "Cheongsam" absorbs the western clothing cutting methods and is the product of the combination of eastern and western clothing cultures.
