Making new clothes for every member of the family before Spring Festival, which used to be a major task for Chinese housewives, had perhaps not surprisingly fallen out of fashion. But the old tradition seems to be making a comeback; in the last few years, clothes using traditional Chinese design features have been getting more and more popular in major Chinese cities, especially during the crank-down to Chinese Lunar New Year. Many young people have been picking up on the trend, which has now hit the whole country. Though mother doesn't make them at home any more, Chinese-style outfits are enjoying a healthy renaissance, with many consumers forking out their yuan to cover their bodies with Chinese culture. 新年穿新衣是中国人历来的传统习俗。它意味着在新的一年有新的开始和好的转机。
