In the international world of high fashion, Chinese dresses enjoy a growing popularity. Chinese dresses are known as the "cheongsam" or "qipao." Cheongsam is derived from the Cantonese (and Hong Kong) dialect which translates to "long dress." Qipao is a Mandarin pronunciation which translates to "banner gown."

Today, cheongsams are worn at diverse events as evening wear by the bride in traditional Chinese weddings, in the entertainment and hospitality industries, and even raves. The cheongsam and qipao is a classic dress that continues to inspire new designs from top designers around the world. Made of different materials and to varying lengths (mini length dress, knee length dress, and ankle length dress), these dresses can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. At any occasion, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

Dressing in today’s global warming climate means that you could very well experience the perils of all four seasons on any given day. These bipolar weather patterns can wreak havoc on those of us who have ascribed to strict seasonal dress codes. The key to bypassing this and to building your wardrobe effectively is to seek out garments that reflect simple, timeless fashion. Fall Breeze, swater outfit, Forest Green by Shiki is a smart piece that will transition easily into your closet for spring, summer, fall, and winter. In other words, next Thursday.
