People everywhere tend to dress in ways  similar to their peers.  In downtown Chicago, suburban soccer moms having a night out all wear high-waist baggy jeans and manly black leather jackets.  Williamsburg hipsters
all wear tight but low-riding jeans and Converses (their counterparts in Beijing wear that too).  In first-tier cities, white collar girls all have brand name handbags and an air of sophistication. Chengdu girls on internships
in Beijing go for colorful puffer vests, blues and greens, and plastic bows.  All the bright colors and they still look quite harmonious.
