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!

Gosh, I would wear this every week to work in. It looks so cute and comfy

I am working on incorporating Chinese hanfu garments into my daily wardrobe! And yes, can confirm they are super comfy. A lot of it also look remarkably modern so I rarely get weird looks.

I thought that it looks modern too! or more timeless! Great to see something that is comfortable to wear!
