With the development of society, politics, economy and science, people have been looking for a kind of unconcealed individual beauty. Especially in modern society, the cultivation of"highlight personality"is highly regarded by people. So sex in garment design has never been the whole factor within the consideration of modern fashion designers. Instead, neutral garment between two sexes has become a kind of unique scenery on the street."Neutral garment", also called"garment that has no sex tendency", refers to that men's wear and women's wear are very much alike in pattern style and the choice of colors, even exactly the same. From the ancient times the standard of traditional clothing emphasized the roles of men and women played. Males need to show masculine beauty of steadiness, sobriety and strength; while females should be blessed with feminine beauty of being ladylike, kind and soft. From the end of the 1990s, neutral garment has become the most popular cosset. Especially with the rapid development of society and economy, as well as with the rapid promotion of women's rank in society, there is increasing no definite role confirmation for males and females in the society according to profession. At present, neutral garment can not only satisfy women's self-confidence in social competition with its simple pattern but also make males enjoy the joy of fashion. T-shirts, jeans and low-waist pants are considered as neutral garments; white, black and gray are neutral colors; dying hair,short hair are of neutral hairstyle…In a word, being neutral has become the popular trend in this century.Viewing from the formation and development of neutral garment, the influence of social institution, economic development, thinking culture and industry development on neutral garment, as well as the change of social status of relationship between men and women and the influence of pattern style produced by fashion designers on neutral garment, we can draw the conclusion that the existence of this neutral garment phenomenon is not occasional and single, but a result influenced by thinking culture, social thinking trend, individual consciousness, social and economic development. At the same time, this phenomenon also means the promotion of women's social status, the emergence of being neutral in positions, the inverted changes of design thinking of fashion designers in men's and women's wear, as well as a kind of development trend represented by individual performance and modern clothing psychological demands.
