Shanghai's Style

Shanghai's style is a unique blend of East and West. The city's history as a major trading port has led to a diverse population, and this diversity is reflected in the city's style. You can see traditional Chinese influences in the use of qipaos and other traditional garments, as well as in the use of bright colors and bold patterns.

However, Shanghai's style is also influenced by Western fashion. The city is home to a number of luxury boutiques and department stores, and many Shanghainese people are keen to adopt the latest trends from Paris and Milan.

The result is a vibrant and eclectic style that is uniquely Shanghai.
