Waistcoats Take Beijing
June 29th, 2008
Waistcoats were embraced by fashionistas of both sexes this spring and into the summer in Beijing. They were mostly low buttoning and black, in a style similar to what is worn with black tie ensembles. This pairing with a peacoat was the nattiest ensemble on the ‘xiang. A documentary-maker for CCTV, he loves his style as “British”. He advises Beijing men to eschew brandnames, though sometimes there is no choice but to choose fake Dior when completing his outifts.

Looks really stupid being so low cut.

Thanks for all of your comments and, yes, one certainly could argue that it is a bit overly low, but could you try at least one positive comment for every three negative ones? Also, the word “stupid” is a bit lazy for someone as articulate as you. You have already used it twice. At the end of the day maybe I should thank you because I am now going to check the etymology for the word. Is it really as bad as it sounds?
