As several cold waves hit, many people had to put on their autumn pants with disgust.
seems that wearing it is insulated from fashion; but your body is honest and you really can't stand it if you refuse it.
Once, it was rumored that foreigners did not wear long-wear pants, and there were even conspiracy theorists who said that "long-wear pants are a trap set by imperialism to prevent the Chinese from resisting the freezing."
In fact, Westerners and Orientals sometimes wear shorts to roam in the cold winter, but this does not necessarily mean that they are born with anti-freeze. On the one hand, most of those countries have marine climates and are not particularly cold at first; and more, it only means that they are used to living a wealthy life and have good heating.
Although it often snows in winter in Japan, the temperature in Japan and Chinese cities of the same latitude is much higher in Japan1
In northern China, at least the coastal areas of Hebei where I work and live, I can almost reach this level. The heating time is long (November 1-March 31), and the heating is sufficient. Even in the cold winter, if you go out for a short time, it would be OK to wear a long down jacket on your face.
has been in such a "greenhouse" for a long time. In terms of anti-freeze, northern Chinese people are not on the same order of magnitude as their compatriots in the Jianghuai and the Two Lakes regions.
OK, let’s go back to the Westerners.
Now it seems that how to survive this winter is still relatively unlucky for Europeans.
According to their own words, the best ones were given to Ukraine, and we were only left with two sweaters!

may still have to rely on long-term trousers.

After all, the originator of modern autumn pants is their ancestor.
Right, you read that right, Westerners not only wore long pants, but also "invented" modern long pants.
00000s American military slap
00000s, I have asked some Westerners before. Although they don’t like to wear it now, they all know that there is such a thing, but they just have different names.
British people call it long underwear or thermal underwear (this means very literally: long underwear or thermal underwear); while Americans seem very down-to-earth, called long Johns.
is just that this long not only has the meaning of "Autumn Pants", but also has the meaning of "toilet" in some American slang.
So, students who give themselves the English name JOHN still need to think twice...
19th century one-piece long Johns
Earlier, when Westerners were not so "luxury", autumn pants were their necessities for life.
The prototype of modern autumn pants can be traced back to the medieval European breeches.
At that time, tight breeches were exclusively dressed by European aristocrats, with the material mainly made of wool, and especially the close-fitting.
key parts, and filler should be stuffed to show your "superiority".
For example, this wife-killing madman, King Henry VIII of England.
Henry VIII (June 28, 1491 - January 28, 1547)
Henry VIII's era, tight breeches were only at the knees, and they were exquisite stockings with silk or fine wool textures to show the "graceful leg lines" of men.
The above method of wearing has continued to modern times. For example, at the end of the 18th century, these "Fathers of the United States" who created the United States were all dressed in "five-point pants + stockings".

There is still a later time, Napoleon in the early 19th century.
The picture below is a picture depicts the scene when Queen Louise of Prussia asked Napoleon in 1807 in Tilster, East Prussia (now Sovetsk, Kaliningrad Prefecture, Russia) and asked him to let him go of the defeated Prussia and his husband Frederick William III.
In the end, Prussian King Frederick William III formed a "Three Emperors Alliance" with Britain and Russia, defeated Napoleon and laughed to the end.
When he arrived at his successor, King William IV of Prussia, the length of his pants had reached his ankle. But it still emphasizes close body tightness to reflect the strong and masculine temperament and aristocratic style of men (that was what they thought back then). Even in the eyes of modern people, this is a true "underwear outside".
Frederick William IV (October 15, 1795-January 2, 1861), reigned from 1840 to 1861
Later, the real modern autumn pants also appeared.
In the mid-to-late 19th century, a jumpsuit was born in New York, USA, and was patented in 1868.
It is made of cotton thread or wool, and it has a certain elasticity and is soft and close to the body. Once put into the market, it was quickly recognized by the general public.
Moreover, it was regarded as a symbol of women's liberation back then. Therefore, women's jumpsuits are also called "Jiefang Underwear".

By the beginning of the 20th century, an important military supplies purchased by various countries were the above-mentioned "onesynthetic underwear".
But it was also at this time that the shortcomings of the onesie were exposed - inconvenient.
So, the upper and lower clothes began to be separated.
1915, Canadian Stanfield pioneered the design of elastic two-piece autumn clothes and pants, and passed a patent application, the name is long underwear.

However, Americans still prefer to call it long Johns.
It is said that this is because John L. Sullivan, a famous Irish boxer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially likes to wear underwear outside, so everyone simply refers to this new style of underwear by his name.

After that, the upper and lower split styles and one-piece styles began to go hand in hand, but the split design was obviously more popular.

During World War II, this long underwear and long underwear belonged to the main military supplies of European and American countries. On the European battlefield, the Germans also wore long underwear under the Bauhaus military uniforms that were tailored and carefully sported.

However, after entering the 1960s, European and American autumn pants seemed to have begun to be disliked.
Some people say that this is because the body hair in Western humans is strong, which is uncomfortable to wear, and it hinders movement - the growth direction of human leg hair is downward, while the direction of tight long pants is upward when worn, just in the direction of the hair, which feels twisted. The explanation of
does make some sense, but more, as mentioned at the beginning, Westerners have better living conditions and high indoor temperatures, so they no longer need to use three layers of clothes inside and three layers of clothes to keep warm.
In the 1960s, stalls selling autumn pants were gone. Moreover, at this time, the "rebellious" generation after the war began to lead the fashion trend. Those hippies and punks regarded not wearing autumn pants as a way to "separate" from their parents.
The house and the car are warm and not very cold anyway.
Interestingly, just when Westerners began to dislike it, the Chinese enthusiastically hugged the "Autumn Pants".
In the past, there was also something called "pants in China". In winter, I wore pants in my head and cotton pants on my head. In addition to keeping warm, the liner can also avoid staining of cotton pants - the liner is single-layer and easy to clean.
However, this kind of "linered pants" is not very close to the body and has no elasticity, and there is still a certain difference with modern autumn pants.
The origin of the word autumn pants is often considered to be related to the Soviet Union.
In the 1950s, the Soviet Union built a batch of cotton wool thermal underwear production lines in the wool spinning factory in Tyumen Prefecture, where the Tyumen Oilfield is located, and was handed over to China with the "156 Aid to China Project".
The Soviet Union's "156 Aid to China Project" is all-round, laying the foundation for the light and heavy industry of New China
The Soviet elder brother at that time suggested that the autumn pants production line be used as part of the "15th Plan" to speed up implementation across the country and promote it to the Chinese people.
As a result, the Chinese people called it "Qiuming Pants" according to their origin, and then simplified it into "Autumn Pants".
Unexpectedly, after entering the 21st century, the Internet's statement about the Soviet Union's "Qiu Ming Pants" was interpreted as a "big conspiracy" - the theory of the destruction of the country.
According to this "Autumn Pants Conspiracy", Soviet geneticist Trofim Dunisovic Lisenko once suggested that all Chinese people should wear autumn pants, so that if a country has worn autumn pants for 60 years, it would be impossible for a country to take them off again. The serious nonsense statement like
is actually quite unreliable.
I won’t talk much about it, just look at Li Senko, who claims to be a “proletarian biologist”. He is a joke in the Soviet scientific community, and his Li Senkoism was eventually rejected by the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

. It is said that China has gone from "the whole nation is long pants" to now some trendy men and women have begun to abandon long pants. The main reason is roughly the same as that of Westerners in the 1960s and 1970s - the conditions are better and there is a warmer living environment.
This is why I developed the awareness of wearing long-term pants to show low.
Finally, I have to tell the truth - whether you wear ugly or not, it is not all about autumn pants, it depends on the person!
