To lay to rest any doubts that may be harbored about my musings about Chinese fashions I have put up these photographs.
This is a Chinese woman who is not wearing any pants. She is only wearing a long sweat shirt without any trousers beneath. I suppose it is much easier getting done up in th emorning if you don’t have to put on any pants. But this is fashion and I am just not very hip…I continue on with my military fatigues and Carhartts.
This is a foreigner getting in on the act. This may look like a short dress but it is really just a shirt that is tied at the waist.
I don’t know, maybe they got the idea from this girl in the cinema poster.
Or maybe this girl in the painting.
Mira trying to break into the Shanghai fashion scene.

LinkIn Taipei it’s fairly warm all year but the social norm seems to be that everyone will wear long pants. So this sets things up for these women to get attention by showing leg. It’s like a billboard advertisement to look like you’re not wearing pants.
