Why did Touhous stop wearing koshimaki and other traditional Japanese clothing and switch to bloomers and other Western clothing?
While the majority of the human villagers continue to wear traditional Japanese clothing over Western wear?

Because it's cute.
Villagers are not cute.

aren't these "bloomers" much like the "drawers" that slutty women wore after WW2? (iirc something about women who slept with occupying troops getting acquiring and using those and thus drawers being seen by others as slutty) are 2hus actually 2hoes after all?
seems to have been a gradual thing since at least reimu wore more traditional clothing back in the day, i imagine with a koshimaki as well.
On that same topic, i wish koshimaki were depicted in art way more often in general, from what i've seen you never really see them it's usually (in modern art at least) just a fundoshi (which was, at least mainly, a male garment) or they just go bare under the kimono/juban (or kosode layers)
I do however keep the headcanon that at least some 2hus do wear fundoshi though, like Youmu and Momiji for example, possibly Yuugi as well.

come on now anon you know that's not what i meant. i was referring to the similarities between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomers and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_drawers since they seem to be used almost interchangeably in art but as it turns out they are indeed different things just look pretty similar.

I think >>37343731 kinda looks like mix of both instead of either one, feels like closest thing to wiki bloomers are probably Mokou's pants.

Mokou's pants do also resemble some other older types of trousers a bit more i think, though.
The bloomers worn by touhous seem often like some kind of less-open-drawers, or straight up closed drawers i guess, with maybe just a smaller buttoned opening sometimes.

That's a rather broad subject, anon. At least ask me something from a certain period or something.
Though this being the internet either of us could just look shit up and this hardly serves much purpose unless you are actually interested in the subject.

She isn't wearing split drawers and bloomers come in different styles just like panties. Marisa is wearing pumpkin bloomers.
Drawers is also a very broad term.
1. (slang) Any clothing covering the legs, such as shorts, trousers, underpants or breeches.
So I guess you could call them drawers too in the same way you call a husky a canine.
Your original post about ww2 prostitutes and western "drawers" is about them wearing modern panties and how panties got associated with lewdness.
Although bloomers and pantalettes are different but interchangeable.

Touhou's wear doll clothes, and thus wear bloomers like dolls do. It's simply because they're (the older ones) somewhere between doll clothing and lolita fashion that they wear them. They aren't split and you can be sure Hirasaka asked ZUN if they were.
