What was men's clothing like during the Wei Jin and North and South Dynasties?

There are three kinds of clothing most characteristic of the Wei Jin and North and South Dynasties period, one is the big-sleeved shirt, the second is the trouser pleat and crotch, and the third is the wide robe that is not bound to the instrument.

Shirt in the Wei and Jin dynasties is not only the Xuanzhi, but also one of the characteristics of the dress of the upper class. It was developed on the basis of the traditional Chinese dress. At that time, the shirt is different from the current shirt, its shape is similar to the robe, but the cuffs are different, the cuffs have to get rid of the robe, no get rid of the shirt. That is, the shirt does not close the cuffs, does not apply the cuffs, the cuffs are spacious. Interpretation of names? Interpretation of the clothes," said: "shirt, clothing without sleeves also." This refers to the difference between the robe and the shirt.

As not subject to the clothes to dispel the constraints of the Department, the Wei and Jin costumes are increasingly broad.

From the princes and celebrities, down to the common people, all to wide shirts and big sleeves, praise clothes and broad belt for the fashion. From the heirloom paintings and unearthed images of people, can see this situation.

Trousers folds and crotch
