In China there was a complicated system of clothes such as benpuku (nobles' ceremonial clothes and headdress), chofuku (kosh hitoe, unlined garment of red sheer silk), koshu (short jacket and kukuri bakama (hakama trousers, the bottoms of which are tucked up at the knee with a string)), jofuku (everyday clothes), and so on.
唐では冕服・朝服（絳紗単衣）・袴褶（短いうわぎに括り袴）・常服などの複雑な服飾制度があった。
