For example, Malaysians prefer red, orange and other bright colors. They think black is a negative color. Therefore, Malay clothing always gives you a happy and unrestrained feeling, showing tropical customs everywhere. People who have been to Malaysia remember it vividly. Teams of Malay women dressed in colorful sarongs are like bunches of flowers blooming in spring, dressing up small towns in Malaysia.
On the other hand, Cambodians have ancient and beautiful dress habits, and they like to use colorful clothes to represent the day. I like to use bright yellow on Monday, purple on Tuesday, green on Wednesday, gray or light blue on Thursday, red on Friday, black on Saturday and red on Sunday. The above-mentioned habit of dressing is particularly popular in religious activities, so it is called "colorful week".
In the past, civilians' clothes were rich in local colors. Women in North Vietnam liked brown, women in Central China preferred purple, and women in South Vietnam mostly wore white or embroidered in front, but there is almost no difference at present. Southeast Asia is a region where diversity and unity coexist. The geographical characteristics of the coexistence of mainland and island, mountain and plain, the natural conditions of the gradual transition between subtropical and tropical climate, frequent ethnic migration and cultural exchanges between ethnic groups constitute a variety of life patterns and colorful national costume culture.
Compared with other costumes in Malaysia, "Bati" (batik) can be said to be its most distinctive costume. Badi clothing worn by men is called Malaysia's national costume. Buddy has exquisite designs, various patterns and unique styles, and some knitting techniques are quite fine. Buddy is a long-sleeved shirt with a symmetrical pattern, but one with an asymmetrical pattern is not the real Buddy. Buddy is made of batik cloth and silk with different textures, but most of them are wide, big, thin and cold. "Buddies" have long sleeves and short sleeves, and those who attend dinner wear long sleeves. Traditional Malay women's dresses are divided into tops and sarongs (tube skirts), which are as wide as robes and have long sleeves. The apron is very wide, usually as long as the ankle. When Malay women wear traditional clothes, they wear a thin and gorgeous scarf over their shoulders or chests. Their dress code forbids topless and bare arms. The modeling and design features of Malay costumes have strong national feelings.
There is a man's jacket in the Philippines, and its name is "Baron". "Balong" looks like an open-necked shirt, white and can be long-sleeved or short-sleeved. The waist on both sides is slightly split, slightly narrow, with two large pockets in front and vertical white patterns woven on both sides of the chest. This is a Philippine costume, which can be worn at banquets or important meetings.
Filipino women love to wear western-style skirts, and some wear national costumes at meetings and banquets, called "Malone", which looks a bit like Indian saris. "Malone" is a wide and long piece of cloth that can be worn in more than a dozen ways. Whether the end of the cloth is over the shoulder after being wrapped in the body, and if it is over the shoulder, how to put it can change many styles.
There is also a pineapple suit in the Philippines. This is a dress made of pineapple leaves by Filipinos. Every June 1 1 to April of the following year, pineapple leaves enjoy a bumper harvest in the leafy pineapple plantation. Filipinos use it to make a breathable, non-shrinking and washable fabric, and then process it into men's shirts, blouses and coats, tablecloths, curtains and napkins. But not all pineapple leaves can be made into pineapple clothes, only a special variety-a hard and prickly pineapple leaf can be made. Filipinos like to wear pineapple clothes on festive days. In the historical evolution of a national culture, it is inevitable and necessary to absorb foreign culture and foreign culture. Only in this way can she be generous and full. Change is necessary, but it is not copying but perfecting yourself. The emergence and development of every national culture are in the same strain, and all of them are marching in this law. Violation of this law will lead to extinction, and only relying on others will become a vassal of others, which has been proved in human history. Being self-centered, based on the construction of the characteristics of the times of national cultural development and absorbing the excellent elements of foreign culture can make the characteristics of our national culture more personalized, more dynamic and enrich the framework of human social civilization.
Aobao is the most traditional national costume in Vietnam, mostly made of silk. Its original style draws lessons from the characteristics of China cheongsam, but it also adds the Vietnamese's own national characteristics. Later, many clothing experts, including French designers, modified "Aodai". The "Aodai" we see today was probably shaped in the 1930s.
Many people think that "Aodai" is a bit similar to China's cheongsam, but in fact, "Aodai" is a kind of dress that incorporates many cultural elements, which can best reflect the simple character of Vietnamese men and the feminine figure of Vietnamese girls.
Nyonya's exquisite and luxurious costumes are the pride of Malaysian Chinese. Nyonya costumes are another representative of Nyonya culture. It is a woman's nature to love beauty. On the basis of traditional Malay clothing, it is changed into western-style low-cut shoulder lining, and added with traditional lace decoration in China, which is called "Niangjiafu". Nyonya clothes are mostly made of gauze, which is a typical tropical style. Its colors are not only the traditional red and pink of China, but also the auspicious Turkish green of Malays. The decorative patterns on the clothes are traditional flowers, birds, fish, insects, dragons and phoenixes in China.
Indonesia is famous for its colorful dyeing and weaving culture. Especially in clothing, traditional culture and colonial culture are intertwined and colorful. The local culture of our nation overlaps with Pinton culture 100 years ago, which is perfectly reflected in a piece of cloth. Influenced by China culture, cheongsam also appeared in Indonesia. After adaptation, Indonesians absorbed it into local traditional costumes. Today, Indonesian clothing is obviously influenced by China culture in dyeing and weaving patterns and embroidery techniques. On the basis of local culture, Indonesian costume culture has been influenced by regional culture (such as Pinton culture), Islamic culture, China culture and western culture, and blossomed everywhere on many islands. Nowadays, Indonesian fashion with multi-ethnic culture as the main theme is developing internationally with its unique design. Indonesians have successfully integrated various cultures into their own national culture and formed their own unique historical and cultural background. This may be the reason why Indonesian fashion can stand on the international stage today.
