The document presents a comparison of fashion trends in Western Europe and China between 1900-2019. It discusses that in the early 1900s, fashion in Western Europe and China were quite similar with loose, comfortable clothing worn by both genders. From the 1920s-1940s, gender differences in fashion became more prominent in Western Europe, while Chinese fashion focused more on practicality. The 1950s-70s saw restrictions on fashion during the Cultural Revolution in China, while Western European styles diversified. Since the 1980s, globalization has increased similarities between Western European and Chinese fashion again.
