Chang-ao (Chinese: é·è¥) is the traditional Chinese attire for women. It is a form of formal wear, and is often perceived as a longer version of ruqun. However, it was actually developed from zhiduo during the Ming Dynasty, and is worn over a skirt.
Cotton twill is a frequent fabric choice for menâs casual pants in particular. Brands like Dockers have long made use of twill to produce popular menâs chinos, which tend to be both light and comfortable, offering a dressier, but still comfortable change from denim.
Leggings add a more trendy and casual vibe to the outfit. Leggings are footless, worn best with ballet flats (with footlets aka sockettes, sometimes called shoe liners) or with boots and booties (with socks).
