Asian style of clothing: traditions in modern fashion

Oriental clothing has its own unique style and recognizable features. India, Turkey, Thailand, China, Japan - these countries to this day observe special traditions that are unique to them. Asian outfits occupy a separate niche in fashion, and clothes in this style are always valued for their quality, comfort, beauty, and loyalty to their history.

Traditional features

These outfits can be called refined, sophisticated and chaste. From the depths of centuries came the characteristic features of clothing in the Asian style:

  • loose fit;
  • minimum open areas.

This also includes traditional ethnic colors, color combinations and shiny heavy materials, often “laid” in the form of draperies.

However, fashion does not stand still. Modern fashion designers are increasingly inspired by oriental culture and introduce similar details into their collections. The cult of “Asianism” has been developing in Europe for decades, so this style has long been established as a separate style in real fashion.
