1 menswear. In the early years of the Republic of China, suits and ties went hand in hand with robes and jackets. Wearing a hat is considered to be the most solemn dress, whether it is a Chinese suit or a western suit. Chinese tunic suit appeared around 1920s, and gradually became popular in cities. The vast rural areas have always followed the traditional coat pants, wearing felt hats or top hats, and wearing their own sewn cloth shoes.
2 women's wear. The Revolution of 1911 brought about diversification. Besides coats and trousers, I wore more coats and skirts. Since the 1920s, women have loved cheongsam, which has gradually become a fashion.
Second, western modernity.
The birthplace and center of western modern clothing culture is France. 1672, Paris published the world's first periodical introducing clothing styles, History of Beautiful Makeup Letters. 1900, the first World Fashion Expo was held in Paris. At the beginning of the 20th century, paul poiret, a French fashion master, boldly abolished the "corset" and began to let women's wear go to the modern road. Therefore, the development of French clothing culture is a typical example of the development of western modern clothing culture. The analysis of French costume culture is helpful to understand the structure and essence of western modern costume culture.
The biggest feature of French clothing is nationality, which shows the historical tradition and spiritual connotation of the French nation, maintains the aristocratic atmosphere of the French court and blends into the simplicity and generosity of modern life, so French clothing embodies the combination of tradition and reality. France has maintained and developed its past traditions in all aspects, including French architecture, French town features, and even French language and literature. Clothing is just a manifestation of this habit. French people's thoughts are not very meticulous, but they have a strong sense of art. Although there are famous thinkers such as Voltaire, Diderot and Rousseau, except Montesquieu, others' thoughts are more infectious and inspiring, but they all lack systematicness. Although France has masters of classicism, romanticism and realism, such as Moliere, Hugo and Balzac, the French have romanticism in their bones. Even Balzac, the peak of realism, shows romantic impulse, not realistic rationality. Under this cultural background, French costume culture is also careless but very infectious.
French costume culture comes from the aristocratic costume culture with hundreds of years of history. In the history, the aristocratic costume culture produced famous tailors such as R. Bedan, as well as so-called fashion workshops and boutiques. However, at that time, both the production and design of clothing were basically individual-centered, and they only served specific individuals, and did not form a real clothing industry. The so-called fashion workshops and shops are just the basic prototypes of workshops and shops, which are not similar to the current fashion workshops and shops. All these make the aristocratic costume culture confined to a narrow world and do not have extensive influence.
