The "skirt" system mainly includes chest-length skirts, waist-length skirts, placket skirts, etc., which actually belong to the top-and-bottom system, but this method does not have many etiquette regulations, and is generally used for regular clothing.

Ordinary working people generally wear short clothes on the top and long trousers on the bottom.
