Can foreigners wear qipao?
Can I inquire about the cultural norms surrounding the wearing of qipao by foreigners? Is it considered appropriate or respectful for non-Chinese individuals to don this traditional garment, or might it be perceived as cultural appropriation? I understand that fashion is a global phenomenon, but I wish to ensure that my attire is both stylish and respectful to the cultural heritage it represents. Additionally, are there any specific occasions or settings where wearing a qipao as a foreigner would be particularly suitable or inappropriate?
