Chang-ao (Chinese: é·è¥) is the traditional Chinese attire for women. It is a form of formal wear, and is often perceived as a longer version of ruqun. However, it was actually developed from zhiduo during the Ming Dynasty, and is worn over a skirt.
Cotton twill is a frequent fabric choice for menâs casual pants in particular. Brands like Dockers have long made use of twill to produce popular menâs chinos, which tend to be both light and comfortable, offering a dressier, but still comfortable change from denim.
Twill is a weaving pattern with three or more heddles. (Most common is 4, often over 1, under 3. An example is the denim cloth used for jeans.) Cotton is simply the fiber of the thread in the cloth. All weaving patterns using yarn (thread) are cotton cloth, some have especially names due to weight or pattern or color or some other attribute.
