Always redolent of the 1970s or the sands of the Orient, turbans are not a frequent sight in Beijing, though given the frequent sandstorms and proximity to the Gobi, they probably should be.

High Voltage

This is quite an amped-up look.
The Traditionalist

I am seeing more and more of this silhouette, which has definite rings of 1920s scholars in Beijing.
Summer’s here
By Suzy
After what seemed like an eternity, summer is here at last. This year’s Modern Sky Strawberry Festival was one of the first occasions to enjoy the sunshine. We will soon post more pictures of beautiful ladies and cool boys.

We had a slight respite due to rain in the past few days, but true evil of summer is going to be upon us soon. Fans remain the best accessory. For you and world, they are the coolest way to stay air-conditioned.
Native American-influenced styles do occasionally come on view in Beijing, as we see here and here.
Waistcoat and Tartan

This pic is from a month or so before, so the look might seem a bit out of season (though the rain has made things pleasantly cooler today). This kind of style is extremely uncommon.

What an intergalactic sort of tee-shirt!
Captain Vintage
This fellow likes his coats. A seller of secondhand goods, he plies the various music festivals and rummage markets of Beijing.
I realize that this image is from a few weeks, so it might look a bit unseasonable.

At Intro music festival, what cute earrings!

There is always an overload of photos after a music festival, so let me apologize for the sheer number of images from Strawberry as compared the normal volume here. There is just no other place in Beijing where one can see so many hip youths in notable attire.
