How to dress for business in China.

[romalondra]

it sure makes me wonder whether the focus is on the business or what ??

I for one have seen many a Chinese business lady with dresses/skirts above the knee and quite low neck lines. The observations of the host are based on?

@ghettofeva This is something that you westerners must come over with. Maybe the Chinese business ladies are given special privileges to wear. Maybe their jobs require them. Whatever the reasons are, you do not ask for equal treatment, unless you have a close relationship.

Generally speaking, Chinese people HATE to see overtly flashy clothing when you are in business. This directly translates to showing off, and similar connotations such as cockiness and arrogance.

Okay this is good then. Thanks for taking the time to reply. :-) I have another question for you. Why do I bump into so many Chinese businessmen wearing large golden rings? Are they 黑社会 or 暴发户?

[MeatJigglingZombie]

@ghettofeva Are you sure that this phenomenon occurs in a lot of places/cities in China?
