During the Sui and Tang dynasties, although the most formal ceremonial clothing still followed traditional styles, the official daily attire had a new appearance, which led to another tradition in the color system of later eras. Therefore, this was an important era in the history of clothing.

　　In the Sui and Tang dynasties, common people wore white round-necked long robes, while the lower classes wore coarse brown fabrics made of hemp or wool. In the Sui dynasty, women wore tight-fitting round-necked or cross-necked short jackets, high-waisted long skirts that dragged on the ground, and two flowing ribbons tied around the waist. In the Tang dynasty, women's clothing mainly consisted of blouses, skirts, and shawls; a shawl is a long scarf worn over the shoulders. There was also a special short-sleeved half-arm shirt, which was worn over the long robe. In the early Tang dynasty, women also liked to wear small-sleeved collared shirts, striped trousers, embroidered shoes, and other Western-style clothes. They also wore "mili" and "weimao" on their heads. The most popular colors for women's clothing in the Sui and Tang dynasties were red, purple, yellow, and green.
