In China, women had different kinds of clothes in ancient times. Those clothes changed with the revolution of dynasties. For examples, in the 1920s, the Cheongsam was fashionable among socialites and upperclass women;[1] during the 1960s, very austere clothes styles were prevalent; today, a wide variety of fashions are worn. Different provinces and regions of China also have different clothing styles.

In Qin and Han Dynasty, women usually wore loose clothes with long large sleeves. Under the long skirt was a pair of high-heeled clogs with some embroidery on them. There was usually a scarf called Jinguo(巾帼) wrapped on the arm of a noble woman while ordinary or poor women had no decoration on their arms. As 

time passed by, the coat tended to be shorter and the skirt became longer. Noble women even needed maids’ help to lift up the skirts to avoid the skirts being stained by the ground. In Wei and Jin Dynasty, clothes of the Han were greatly influenced by the Hu.[citation needed]Advantages of Hu's clothes were absorbed in the Han’s. Women usually wore waist-length coats and full-length skirts, and wrapped belts on their waists.

In Sui and Tang Dynasty, women’s clothes had the trend to be more open. Small-sleeves coats usually made of yarn, still long skirts, wide and long scarves were what they often wore. They could bare the part of body above their chests. This sort of cloth could show the beauty of women better. Another kind of clothes popular that time was something with big sleeves, short breasted shirts and long light skirts. They were used when women were walking in the garden, picking flowers, playing with their pets etc.[citation needed]
