The difference between ancient Chinese clothing, such as hanboks and changboks, and ancient Western clothing.

First of all, I hope you don't go by TV and movies. Most Chinese costume movies are not very rigorous, so there are a lot of "innovations".

The biggest difference between traditional Hanbok and Western clothing is that Hanbok is cut on a flat surface, while Western clothing is cut in three dimensions.

The Orientals are more "flat" in terms of body shape. Hanbok's overlapping style, more able to highlight the three-dimensional sense; Hanbok in some styles of wide robes, more able to cover up the human body defects.

Western three-dimensional tailoring is more close to the body, slim figure.

Clothes with big sleeves, is the system caused by the aristocrats do not need to labor, so there is a big sleeve, wide sleeve. The East has aristocrats, as does the West, whether it is East or West, it is the same.

Just as the Eastern martial artists have short sleeves, arrow sleeves, and bindings, and the Western warriors have the same *** same development, in fact, still have the *** same point. It's the normal trend.

The hair problem, first of all, put aside the modern "creative" TV drama not to say, regardless of the East and the West, the hair is from cloak and dagger to the development of hair. China has a history of 5,000 years, and the West is so big that it's normal to have the same thing. However, hair accessories are different, depending on the origin of the minerals ,,,, ahha. ~ There are also climatic reasons, environmental reasons, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., on the hairstyles.

So yeah, what you said about mid-west is too generalized. It's hard to say.
