The only item on the list I would probably not want to try out would be the knee socks thing. I think that might look kind of foolish on people over the age of 18, even if they have great legs.

2) Most Hong Kongers have a style best described as “wearing whatever is clean” outside of those areas. I’m tempted to take pictures of the uber fashionable of Tuen Mun now.

3) For photos from HK nightlife (in Central/Wanchai/TST mainly), check http://www.hkclubbing.com I think that some go a bit too far out with dressing for the night, but I’m the type to prefer spending the night on the beach to bar-hopping.

4) Did you get any pictures of the Wellies? I’ve never been around so many people who wore them in my life, and I’m from a place with just as much rainfall. What would always get me when I worked in Central was the gals who’d wear their floral-patterned Wellies with their black or blue suits. They’d be embarassed by it a bit, but I think it’s a great (if contrasting) look.

Jess, thanks for pointing out the “bobby sock confusion”. I’ve just googled booby socks and they are indeed different to what is shown in the pictures (which are knee – high socks). I had to wear long grey knee-high socks to school (part of my uniform) and they were referred to as bobby socks then. Seems like our headmistress got it wrong too! The text has been corrected.

Sal, I hear you on the lifeless aspect of the neutral palette. I guess that’s why I like to wear my “neutral” red handbag with black, white and grey combinations. (Thanks for the compliment, Chris).

My personal style is similar to what they wear there, so it was a lot of fun shopping. I even spotted a dress like the one I was wearing (which I purchased at Target in the girls’ department).
