In the 1950s, Taiwanese clothing was pretty modernized, just like European and Ameican clothing. For example, instead of wearing long folk dresses such as “qipaos” as their everyday clothing, girls began to wear (long) skirts or pants. Boys started to wear looser clothing like sweat pants and t-shirts. Over the years, Taiwan has kept up with the modernization of clothing, and now, a lot of their clothing is based on American and other Asian (Korean) styles.
In the 1950s, it was be improper for girls to wear shorts or skirts that rise above the knee. Girls could not wear tank tops, or tight/revealing clothing. Nowadays, short skirts and short shorts, tank tops, and tight clothing have all been merged into the modern Taiwanese fashion trends. One of the most popular model magazines in the US, VOGUE, also has a VOGUE Taiwan company. Taiwanese people use sites like these to show off their new fashion trends to outsiders.
In the 1950s, students in Taiwan had to wear uniforms to school. Girls would typically wear skirts, and boys would wear sweatpants. The uniform system is still in place today. However, the students often get a day off once in a while where they can dress freely.
