Beizi (褙子) is the traditional Chinese attire (hanfu) common to both men and women. It is a form of outer wear in Ming Dynasty. It is adopted during Tang Dynasty (during which foreign fashion were popular amongst Chinese) from Central Asian clothing through the Silk Road.[1][2] However, it is also believed to have been derived from banbi during the Song Dynasty, where the sleeves and the garment lengthened.[3] The gender difference is that while the wide sleeve beizi is a formal wear for women (narrow sleeve beizi is the casual wear for women), both wide and narrow sleeve beizi is only the casual wear for men. It has parallel/straight-collar (對襟) with side slits beginning at the armpit or at the waist. It can be secured at the front either with ties or a metal button.
