What attire is culturally appropriate in China?
It is best to wear slacks, khakis, button shirts, sweaters, casual skirts, and modest sun dresses. You may wear jeans, but not to official meetings with the civil affairs department or to the U.S. Embassy visa appointment. Avoid tight-fitting or revealing clothes and excessive jewelry. The idea is to try to blend in as much as possible. Do not draw any unnecessary attention to yourself. Remember, you are a representative and an ambassador for future adoptive parents coming to China.
