- Clothing, food, and customs dramatically changed. For example, the soldiers got new outfits made of steel and did things such as not taking their shoes off before entering a house etc. More noticeable were the changes in hairstyles with the short cut replacing the topknot, so that by 1890 it was difficult to find a man in the cities with a traditional hair style. For women, blackened teeth and shaved eyebrows began to disappear quickly from the cities and more slowly in the countryside.
- I love these new clothes! the style is amazing!!
- I know right?! The western countries really know style!
