Cultural Fashion: Sokka’s Fire Nation Shirt

Unlike the rest of the Gaang, Sokka’s Fire Nation outfit is almost entirely Chinese-inspired. The capelet he’s wearing is inspired by “cloud collars” or Yunjian (云肩).

The shirt he wears is a long, sleeveless Tangzhuang (唐装). Zuko also wears one in Season 1. As a side note, I just love frog clasps, they’re so elegant.

Fun fact, cloud collars are traditionally considered to be women’s fashion. Considering that Sokka would obviously be clueless about civilian clothing in the Fire Nation, the “inaccuracy” of the design choice can simply be written off as his ignorance. That said, it is pretty funny that this is the second time he’s visited a new nation and ended up in traditionally female clothing.

I think Sokka would agree on my stance that women’s clothing tends to have more flair.

Tbh I just love how us freaks who love Heated Rivalry an abnormal amount have also had the undeniable hyper focus of The Untamed.
