Shenyang - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the typical dress code at work and in public places? Is formal dress ever required?

Business suits, or China business casual (anything from black sweats to velvet dresses). Formal dress rarely required. - Mar 2019


People dress conservatively here. Socks (or stockings) and shoes should be worn outdoors at all times. Few people wear very revealing clothing. In the workplace, suit and tie are the standards. That being said, watch out for the famous "Beijing Bikini" that middle-aged men will display on hot days. :-) - Jul 2016


People are very relaxed in Shenyang and wear almost anything, but Consulate is still business attire (business casual in some sections). - Aug 2014
