K (zh)

The pleat is actually a combination of upper and lower trousers. Its basic style is to wear a big sleeved upper garment and a fat leg pants.

The clothes were made out of the military and their clothes were not fixed.

The pleat was originally a traditional costume of northern nomadic people. During the northern and Southern Dynasties, this kind of clothing began to be popular in the Han nationality area, and the trousers were becoming bigger and bigger. In order to act conveniently, people tied them with their brocade at their knees to form wrinkles.

Later, the sleeves and trousers became more and more generous. It was called "wide sleeves" and "big pants" for a while.
