Mostly no. But many of the younger generation are now starting to understand how to dress very well. It is the ones who get it SOOOO wrong that stand out. One of the worst things to look at for a Western male is the wearing of horible looking stockings and how they wear ones with the top bit that is meant to be hidden under a skirt etc sticing out from short shorts or short skirt.

What about Chinese men and the penchant for pulling their trousers up under their armpits. Harry high pants lol.

I be digging the "I'm a tramp" look!!! I do laugh at how the 40-50 year old women are also wearing the same clothes as the 20 something year old women... Laughing out loud Laughing out loud I think they should ban the sale of padded bras in China though... It's false advertising.

Isn't it false advertising everywhere?

Mabye the farmers are like that. But, if you go into downtown Beijing or Shanghai, they're pretty well on top of current trends.

My wife is about the least fashionable woman I know. The first time she wore those stocking socks with sandals I explained to her why it looks stupid and she never did it again. It's cute though, she's hopeless in an adorable way.

Once I was walking in my neighbouhood and saw a woman walking in front of me I thought "Jesus, what kind of outfit is that?"
Then I noticed I was married to the woman wearing it!!!

I reckon they all look fabulous, sexy, adorable, enticing, molestable and summer in China means being in a constant state of excitement. Bling it on I say - don't change. It's the only opportunity I get to stare back with justification!!

Well, about two or three summers ago, I remember every dude had 3 foot tall red marge simpson hair and a pink polo shirt tied in the middle, while every non-pregnant woman was wearing a maternity dress so I would have to say an impeccable sense of fashion all round.

In many cases it looks like they just choose their favourite pieces and toss them all on at the same time regardless if they go together well or not. Stripes, flowers, silly Chinglish phrases, polka dots, patterns, whatever, it's a free for all. Top that off with a pair of glasses that have no lenses and there you have it........Chinese fashion.

pft, "fashion sense " buying and wearing expensive stuff can't compensate for the lack of taste. A person with a fashion sense would NOT go around wearing  Converse sneakers and an LV handbag. ( at least that's what they all do in Guangzhou - this is probably the local uniform )frown

Considering half the girls I know are wearing Gucci and Louis V, I'd say they have fashion sense and could whip your ass with it.

instant_noodles:

dude, wearing LV and gucci alone does NOT mean one has a fashion sense, a fashionable person is one who knows how to adjust fashion to her/ himself, and would look gorgeous even if she / he wore 2nd hand clothes. of course , this is something you will never understand, it 's one of those things money cannot buy

Fashion sense really has a loose definition. To them it may mean buying into high-class brands. To you, it may mean adjusting it to suit your own style but both are no less viable.

the only good thing about this is that these women often times pull an i-dont-care attitude. they just put whatever looks good on them (even if it's borderline horrendous) and work it to the max.
