Young people in China are reviving old clothing, and maybe nationalism too

April.10. 2019
Across China, some young people are switching from jeans and T-shirts to long dresses, silky robes and black hats.
They’re not cosplayers or period drama actors, but rather members of a booming movement to turn Hanfu, or ethnic Han clothing, into everyday wear.
The so-called Hanfu movement has gained a large following among the ethnic Han Chinese group, which makes up more than 90% of the Chinese population.
Supporters say Han people need traditional attires to celebrate their own ethnic identity, just like the kimono in Japan and the hanbok in Korea.
In the southern metropolis of Shenzhen, we joined some one thousand Hanfu enthusiasts on a day of Han clothing and culture.

Traditional clothes of Han nationality are not suitable for work.
The biggest feature of traditional Han clothing is its wide cuffs and silk ribbons, which will cause mobility inconvenience.
Maybe we need some top designers to modernize and improve the traditional Chinese clothing.

Dont have to wear them to work everyday, but wear more commomly on holidays and celebrations, should be recognized as chinas national dresses though.
If some designers can modernize and popularize the dresses, it would be great.
