Print or brightly-colored, high-waisted skirts are popular right now, and in Shanghai comfortable shoes are a must; classic sneakers like white Vans or Converse go well with most outfits.

With this outfit you often see a high-waisted, elastic belt.  The elastic belt is overdone.  As another option, I prefer a thin, leather belt that wraps around the waist a few times.

Bluer than you are, Shanghai

Outfit is questionable but the electric blue drainpipe pants I dig.

Fashion Lingo Lession:

Skinny Pant – snug fit through the legs, tapered at the bottom so that one has a hard time breathing but looks really thin and awesome.

aka: drainpipes, stovepipes, cigarette pants, pencil pants, skinny pants or skinnies.
