China is a fascinating country with
an ancient culture, where long-held traditions still dictate many customs in
modern society. In such a unique place, it can be hard to gauge norms around
Chinese fashion trends (Do they wear silk everything? Are dragon-patterned
robes really a thing?). China used to be a very conservative country that held
conformity in high regard. While tradition and uniting with some sort of group,
even if it’s just family, are still valued in China, younger generations have
become much more fascinated with Western culture, which has led to many changes
in modern Chinese clothing choices.
Today, Western trends are just as
popular in China as the are in the United States and Europe. This makes it much
easier for international travelers to blend in and look like a local. If you
are wondering how to dress in China while studying, volunteering, teaching,
or interning abroad, you should not have to look much farther than your
own closet to find what’s considered modern Chinese clothing. However,
Chinese culture still differs greatly from Western culture, and you do not want
to make any embarrassing blunders.
· Light colours and lightweight clothing
is a good choice for summer in China. Do as the Chinese do and bring an
umbrella to protect you from the pesky sun. Grab a portable fan to help blow
the sweat away while sightseeing. Keep reading for more information.
