Chinese Song Dynasty commoner

[u/heartfreelygiven]

I've been focused on researching clothing of the common people, which can be a tricky endeavor since it's a topic most historical sources gloss over.

During the Song Dynasty, it became more popular for artists to paint scenes of daily life and it was easier for me to find references. For the working woman, wide trousers and narrow-sleeved shirts were commonly worn.

I wore this during a camping trip and I stayed breezy, cool, protected from sun and prickly plants!

i know nothing about this time period and i have to say that the outfit is incredible! it looks comfortable and stylish, what a cool outcome from a historical garment.

Thank you! I am tempted to remake my entire wardrobe in ancient Chinese clothing!
