Gender Dress Codes in Different Social Settings of 21-Century China

Abstract

As society progresses and the internet becomes more convenient for people to communicate, the idea of feminism and the issue of gender equality has been widely discussed on the internet. As the living standard is improving, people tend to use varied ways to convey their attitudes and message to others, including their outfits. This research analyzes three distinct occasions, the campus, workplace, and public places, including clothing designs from luxury designers nowadays. The study aims to explore how gender dress codes in these social settings represent gender equality and deliberate on the causation of these dress codes, shedding light on the connection between gender equality and outfits and promoting gender equality in Chinese society, which makes this research meaningful. The study also fills in the blank of the former research study in which the connection between equality and dress codes is more evident and comprehensive than before.
