Q: Is your fashion becoming more local?

I find myself dressing more and more like middle age Chinese women (i.e. all patterns, all colors, all textures, all at once). This happening to anyone else?

Yes, and I am surprised to say I enjoy it, I mean it makes me feel free, feel alive, but it's hard to find colorful women's clothes in men's size XXXL and I still hate shaving my legs. It's not easy, guys!

Nessquick:

I will help you with shaving. especialy if you need more than legs to shave

I tried that pulling the shirt up to my breasts to cool the tummy thing the guys here like to do but the temperature was -30C so I ended up in hospital while they chiseled the ice from my belly button!!!

Nothing can possibly be less attractive than the way middle aged Chinese women dress. A nice TPau and you'll have China in your heart. 

 

Being a man, shirt and jeans seems to be not much different than anywhere in the world. Except I had one of those sweaters with a shirt-neck sown in so it looks like you are a fancy person wearing two pieces when in fact it is only one. It was donated to a salvation army kind of places in Scandinavia.

In no way i will wear a pink shirt or anything fashionable here.

I stick with my wrangler or lee, white t-shirt or anything. wearing shoes which are comfortable, but not flashing or with 34 colours. and the sweaters or jackets common people wear ? jeeeez. if they wear columbia or ozark, is still ok, but the common one....

When I was at university here in Beijing we used to see an interesting trend where when people arrive they all have their own distinctive styles but as each semester goes on you can see everyone's outfits trending towards a similar style. Might be just the university I attended but everyone started dressing like the Koreans. the majority of guys would end up wearing track pants and hoodies. 

 

I wouldn't say I dress Chinese now, but maybe my style has changed to a the 'foreigner in Beijing' style as we all shop at the same markets so we have the same choices.

i find the patterns and styles of clothes worn by women and girls too fussy.

i prefer clean tailoured lines and simple colours to my clothes.

Anyway there is nothing worse than seeing a woman of a certain age wearing sequins and hot-pants.

i am built like a european woman with more curves than is acceptable here and i just don't have the legs for short skirts

sounds tasty ...

I didn't think my fashion had changed that much. But when I went home people kept telling me it had - no one would say what though, so I'm still in the dark.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is 'Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by 1.
