During the Song Dynasty, girls wore the most: airplane sleeve tops, two-piece skirt, and a Beizi (褙子). Many people may be curious about airplane sleeves, but the name is actually based on the shape of the clothes sleeve. The two-piece skirt is the most fashionable of all the styles of Hanfu, with both long and short skirts, and the shape of the skirt is also a more modern style.

In addition to the two-piece skirt, in the Song dynasty, there was also a type of style called Ku (袴), or what we would call trousers, which was rare among all forms of Hanfu. Compared to a skirt, pants would be a little more convenient to wear. And all the Song pants we see now are modified to look good and beautiful.
