SPD3159 Heritage Hong Kong :Clothing changing

At the early time, most of the Hong Kong residents are worker, farmer and fisher in Hong Kong. Their clothing material is rough, with wide body and sleeve design, which is conventient for their working. Since Hong Kong is a fishing port on that time, most of the people are living in a boat as their house. The clothing they wear usually called Hakka clothing. On the other hand, most of the people clothing were made by themselve because of poor.

Until 50 era, some western style clothing became popular, for people who had some money, male wear suit while female wear dress, but there was less clothing change for the people who were relatively poor or got lower social level.

70 era, casual wear became main stream, especially the jeans, it was the trendy icon. Until now, there are many choice of clothing for people to choose, also, people are more rich than the past, so that they have the ability to buy clothing.
