The Differences between Traditional Chinese Clothing Aesthetics and Western Clothing Aesthetics

Abstract

There are significant differences between traditional Chinese clothing aesthetics and Western clothing aesthetics in terms of materials and design styles, colors and patterns, as well as cutting and dressing styles. Traditional Chinese clothing focuses on natural materials, details, and craftsmanship, and emphasizes overall balance. While Western clothing tends to various kinds of materials, personality traits, and fashion trends, they pursue uniqueness and innovation more. In terms of colors and patterns, traditional Chinese clothing prefers bright colors and traditional patterns, emphasizing connotation and symbolism. Western clothing, on the other hand, explores diverse color combinations, advocates abstract and modern patterns, and emphasizes visual expressions and fashion sense. In terms of cutting and dressing styles, traditional Chinese clothing emphasizes streamlined and curvaceous beauty, pursuing overall harmony. Western clothing prefers simple and exaggerated cutting styles, emphasizing personal style and free matching.
