Beijing Shopping Destinations
Going beyond Chinese street fashion, in my role as blogger I recommend some of my top Beijing Shopping Destinations like Taciturn Li and Wuhao in this Stay.com piece.  I am also going to be doing one soon in which I talk about Shanghai Shopping.
It turns out that the fashion photographer Jeff Yiu has also done this.

Beijing Design Week 2014
Here is Queenie, photographed here by her friend Phoebe Li, just arriving at Beijing Design Week 2014.  The ramshackle hutongs of Dashilar are again the setting for many of the most cutting-edge exhibitions.  One of the highlights is this clean air suit.
The Beijing Vintage Ride
This is four months old, but I still want to put up these photos. I have a few extremely good excuses for the delay and the relative lack of activity on Stylites. Those who know me, know what I mean.
Anyway, in the next few posts will be some of my photos from the second Beijing Vintage Ride, which occurred back in late March. I have been thinking about bicycling a lot recently, because it is one of my ambitions to make hotels in Beijing more bike friendly by convincing them to put racks in prominent locations out front. I am hoping to start with the Four Seasons Hotel Beijing.
Here’s more from the China Daily.
Lucy from Beijing
Lucy may be one of the most enigmatic bohemians I’ve met. After many drinks and dinner, I still have little idea about her background or what she does. She apparently has a flat in Vienna and/or Paris.
Sweatshorts in Beijing
 
Â
OK, Sweat shorts are back, with early manifestations giving us rolled up, striped (navy style) types for a casual and slightly sporty look (paired with  nice S-Shirt (T-shirt, Sweatshirt, mash up). Or a more ethnic à la Visvim embroidered and be-tassled number nicely paired with relaxed vest ( which should be a key item this spring. Well done guys good effort!

Tweedy Beijing
They probably debated about whether to just call it the Beijing Tweed Run and then decided that tweed was too British or too obscure for local tastes. For the participants, however, the look was most definitely tweedy. I had no idea that there was quite this much check, argyle and houndstooth in wardrobes around the city.
From the 700bike site, here are pics of just about all the attendees. Also, for comparison, their site has some very nice photos of tweed runs in London, Tokyo, and Moscow, which is oddly one of the most stylish assemblies of men I have ever seen.
Beijing’s Bike Lanes, From Above

Where did Wang Peng perch to take these photos?
The flatness and brevity of the ride made it perfect for preening. The weather was also perfect for neither working up a sweat nor getting chilly while wearing tweed sport coat and vest. In fact, at 10km – a fairly standard Beijing commute – this ride proved that it is quite possible to look good every day while riding down Beijing wide bike paths.
The Beijing Vintage Ride
Photos: Penn
Wang Peng captured some great images of all the tweedy people that came out yesterday for the first ever Beijing Vintage Ride, mostly inspired by similar events in London, Tokyo and elsewhere.
The event was startlingly successful in terms of number of participants, their level of style preparedness and the fanciness of their bikes. There was general level of enthusiasm for a stylish sort of bicycling culture, but more of my thoughts on this in future posts.
Beijing Vintage Bike Run
I will be joining and photographing the first annual Beijing Vintage Bike Run on April 20. Organized by Serk and 700bike, inspiration comes from the now famous London Tweed Run, an event clearly more about clothes than bikes. This ride will take 100 hip biking enthusiasts from Sanlitun, through a not terribly picturesque collection of ring-roads and high-rises, to the 798 Art District. Tweed is welcome but the specific style recommendation for the event is 70s and 80s China retro chic, meaning Mao suits and such. It is perfect tweed weather in Beijing at the moment, but I fear it will suddenly be completely summery in three weeks time.
