Work appropriate

I had lunch with my beautiful friend Krisanna today. Working at AmCham, she always manages to look cute even though her strict office dress code virtually strangles all the fun in getting dressed. I’m pretty sure she gets dirty looks if she wears ballet flats. I would go nuts. I can wear ripped jeans, Converse and a t-shirt if I wanted to everyday (which I don’t, for the record). My loose work dress code is partly because I work in the creative industry. But I definitely think China in general has very loose reigns on work attire. Even women who work in corporate offices  wear pretty, uh, liberal outfits. I’m astounded how many young Chinese women wear sweatpants and Uggs to work.  I’m curious, what’s your Chinese office’s work attire like?
