I'm currently writing an asia based culture in a steampunk novel. I was wondering what the chinese wore in the 20th century.
The closest i think i can get is the cheongsam / Chi pao for women and I'm not entirely familiar with the mens fashion in that era I think they wore something called sam fu which literally translates to (don't laugh) shirt and pants (not very exotic is it?)
I kinda wanna know what else they wore I always feel that for some funny reason western fashion seems more....diverse back then with elaborate skirts and top hats.
