The informal Chinese clothing

The informal Chinese clothing would include tops and bottoms and one piece robes, which included once or more to the body. A typical set of Hanfu is two or three layered where the first layer of underwear or Zhongyi in white cotton or silk. The second layer is front closed clothes and an optional third layer can Zhao Shan or a coat. This new set of attire could be made 'semi-formal' by adding a pleated skirt (Chang), a cloth Panel belt and a formal hat (Guan) added. Meeting guests or to take or a cultural day it would encourage too 'semi-formal'.


Formal Chinese clothing is reserved for special occasions such as a major victim or other religious activities or special people like emperors and officials. This includes the Xuanduan, a dark robe that the Western black tie and a priest full ceremonial dress called a Fusha matches. A Lanshan was worn as an official or academical dress.
