I find it weird how when someone mentions "traditional Chinese clothing", most of us will automatically think of the qipao. Or how the go-to traditional outfit for Chinese New Year is the qipao. I mean, Singapore's weather is atrocious and all, but wouldn't it be awesome to see people going around in these during Chinese New Year:
So
Freaking
Gorgeous.
Maybe one of these Chinese New Years I'm gonna do this. Because if you want the
true "traditional Chinese clothing" (and considering most Chinese associate with the Han race), you shouldn't stop at the Qing Dynasty. I mean it makes sense right if most of us are Han Chinese, then shouldn't traditional Chinese clothing = 汉服
Of course it does help that hanfus are baggier than qipaos so the fats show less.
