why do chinese people wear tshirts for CNY

it's weird when i wear traditional clothing to go to the restaurant and suddenly i'm the overdressed one because everyone else there is just in plain tshirts or shirts that aren't relevant to CNY at all.

not judging or anything, you can wear whatever you want, but idk isn't CNY a time to bust out the fancy traditional wear? instead, it just looks like multiple families are having regular gatherings :(((
