I am going to China for a year to teach English at a college. I need fashion advice? |
What is fashionable in Beijing right now? What items of clothing should I be sure to bring with me? I read that the Chinese are not too appreciative of outfits that are too revealing or show a lot of skin. Is this true? My current style here in the United States is very Manhattan. I like wearing black and grey and I dress in a modern-classic way like I work in an art gallery. china teacher fashion are totally different from teacher in united states. teacher in beijing are have to dress formal. no jeans , t-shirt, sandal, too revealing, not too fashionable, no jewlry etc. they don't want the teacher to appeal to be unprofessional. a teacher should always wear those suit thingys like what our lawyer would wear. wear high heel. don't get too close to the student like talk about your family , relatioinships like US teacher does. Go there modern-classic. China is changing fast and you would be OK. When you be there, go shopping... Its cheap... Even in Beijing and Shanghai, most Chinese don't appear to be very fashion conscious. It isn't too unusual to see somebody wear the same outfit every day for a week. It isn't too unusual to see people wearing what looks like pyjamas outdoors. You can get away with pretty much anything that isn't revealing. In fact, if you come to Chinese dressed too fashionably, you might feel a little over-dressed (and you could very well suffer in the heat!). Even at formal banquets in some of China's top restaurants, you'll see people dressed in a simple unwashed shirt and unironed pants. Just think casual and comfortable. don't worry too much, and you don't have to bring too much clothes to China. it is cheaper to buy there ;) just make sure that you don't show off too much skin.. or too short stuff.. cuz then people will think ur an inappropriate person... and something else... but i'm not going into detail about that.. just wear like khakis... knee length flowy skirts... nice tees... jeans.. good length shorts.. and you'll live.. trust me! have fun.. enjoy ur stay in beijing! been there It's true that Chinese are not too appreciative of outfits that are too revealing or show a lot of skin even in Beijing and Shanghai.You can find some Chinese pictures to decide what to bring with you.Or you can buy some clothes after arriving China.
