About the historical evolution of WORKWEAR
WORKWEAR is a proper term for modern clothing separated from "modern clothing design".
In developed countries, professional clothing has developed rapidly, and its appearance has gradually emerged from the "big clothing system" to become a relatively independent "Uniform" clothing sub-system. Moreover, the WORKWEAR system is showing more and more laws with its own characteristics, which is different from the clothing value system and theoretical research system of other clothing categories in terms of research, development, design, production, sales, and use. There are specialized research institutions, colleges and departments, expositions (such as Cologne, Germany), design centers (such as Japan's NUC "Japan Uniform Center"), institutes, rooms, and specialized stores and specialized companies for work clothes customization.
Modern business attire has not been around for a long time in China. Probably since modern times, foreign ideas and materials have changed the Chinese people's clothing concepts and methods to a large extent, such as "what to wear for what to do", which is the basic concept of modern professional clothing. But this does not mean that China does not have the history and concept of "professional clothing". For example, the military clothing in ancient China and the official uniforms of various dynasties are standard "professional clothing". In this sense, the appearance and use of professional clothing in China can be described as It has a long history, but people do not specifically name this type of clothing as professional clothing.
In the United States and English-speaking countries, the word Uniform can be interpreted as the word for WORKWEAR. Uni, is a, unified meaning, Form is the meaning of shape. It means "consistent shape" and is interpreted as a uniform garment and uniform.
As a definition, professional attire is in the subdivided modern society, including government agencies, schools, companies and other groups, and there are students, stewardess, navigators, pilots, police officers, doctors and nurses, shop assistants and other grades. Or in order to distinguish it from clothing with special appearances that do not belong to these groups or to express their identity, according to the characteristic "type" of each occupation, it is possible to give us "this" or "these" uniforms, that is, the uniform of a certain occupation. Feeling, we may use this feeling to define whether it belongs to the scope of WORKWEAR.
