I just came back from watching "Assassin Bodyguards" and the characters were all either suited or in traditional Chinese dress. If you have a lean figure (no potbelly) I think the traditional dress can be very flattering. I wonder why they have died out while the suit lives on. I hope to get myself a bespoke Chinese dress someday (real Old World quality, not some stupid replica) if I happen to be in China.
