In Chine and a few Asian countries, there was a trend a few years back of wearing traditional or modernized versions of traditional clothing. Why is there no western equivalent to this? Asian countries have all these cool modernizations of old clothing styles but we have nothing of the sort.

Just wondering.

Henley shirts remind me of tunics from the middle ages. Hoodies are monk wear.

They are fragmented and ashamed of their heritage

because "traditional clothing in the west" evolved into regular fashion. we don't feel as though these are foreign clothes to us

Victorian Age, or further back, Regency Age, and even further, 18th century clothing could count as a Western take of this sort of thing. North Americans can go for a modernized version of 1800s cowboys with current western wear, too.

There's no Western version of Hanfu, because Westerners wear the modern version of our traditional clothing as historically developed to the present day.

In China, the development of traditional Han Chinese and Manchu garb was interrupted and displaced in the 19th century by the influence of Western dress and sociopolitical concepts. Traditional Chinese clothing has become a niche museum piece frozen in time and no longer worn on daily basis

This.
The "universal attire" of the suit, of office wear, and even of casual ware (jeans, sneakers etc.) are all direct descendants of western clothing and tailoring that can be traced back to Beau Brummell

It's a small portion of the overall fashion industry, but hanfu and hanfu-related su-markets are supposedly a $645 million industry.
