When was the suit introduced to China?

Suits were introduced into China in the 1940s of 19. At that time, most of the international students were in suits. Later, Li, a native of Ningbo, founded the first suit shop in Suzhou. Later, this suit was listed as one of the formal dresses by the government of the Republic of China.

After 1930s, China's suit processing technology enjoyed a high reputation in the world. In Shanghai, Harbin and other cities, there are some suit shops specializing in high-end suits and dresses, such as Shanghai's Peromont and Hengsheng, which are famous at home and abroad for their exquisite craftsmanship. In addition, China's western-style suit making has formed various schools.

For China, the suit has a certain significance or era, which changed the traditional clothing, indicating that the clothing at that time had a certain influence in world communication. After the reform and opening up, with the liberation of ideas and the rapid development of economy, western clothing represented by suits has once again flooded into China with an irresistible trend of internationalization. People no longer discuss whether it has been crossed by any class, nor pay attention to its unclear symbol and meaning. China people who want to connect with the international market seem to take the initiative to accept this with a challenging psychology. Western-style clothing was introduced to China in the Qing Dynasty, and was quickly accepted by radical young people. For a time, the suit became a symbol of new ideas, while the robes and jackets symbolizing conservative ideas gradually declined. At present, there are endless changes in the styles of suits around the world, but it has always maintained its basic shape.
