What clothes to wear?

Bedeutung

Asks for advice on what attire is appropriate.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

The color red is highly auspicious and worn at weddings and Lunar New Year, but strictly avoided at funerals. In many Chinese tech companies, the dress code is 'Business Casual' or even just 'Casual'. However, for government meetings, a dark suit is mandatory. Young people use the term 'OOTD' or 'chuāndā' to share their daily outfits. Asking 'what to wear' is often a prompt for a fashion vlog. The concept of 'Détǐ' (appropriateness) means your clothes should match your age and status. An older person dressing like a teenager might be criticized for 'not acting their age'.
