After the 1911 Revolution, education became widely available to women in China. During the 1910s and 1920s, students commonly wore a two-piece style consisting of mostly black skirts. This outfit was known as "civilised attire" (wenming xinzhuang). Sophisticated urbanites also began to wear this style, popularising it.
