Bright colours very common. The only difference I have found between dress styles in the west and in China is that people's clothing is much tidier here, whereas in the west scruffy, dishevelled clothing is much more common than here. I would suggest wearing whatever you like, just look tidy and presentable and you will fit in just fine! Fashion in China is just like everywhere else - short is fine, shorts halternecks all ok.

Conservative cuts with not-so-conservative colors and details is a great way to balance your personal style with the culture of the country. Nice tip, Lisa.

A knee-length skirt in bright colorblock patterns, for instance. Think conservative cuts--nothing too revealing--in not-so-conservative colors and details.

Think bright colors, funky cuts and interesting proportions. Fashion in Beijing is actually not very conservative as the Chinese are taking a card from the Japanese in terms of style.
