Women's Fashion

Long hair, usually worn free at about shoulder length. Trousers are associated with femininity and worn as pleated slacks with a crease, or tight-fit stockings made of breathable fabric. Shirts are often puffy or frilly blouses, worn under a long waistcoat that reaches below the hips. In cold weather, big fluffy jumpers with tails and thick stockings are normal.

Scarves worn with one end wrapped and one end hanging long are associated with leadership and are common for women in positions of authority or administration. Shoes are usually colourful flats with decorative embroidery or textures.

Young women will often decorate each other’s shoes as a bonding activity, and finely decorated shoes are a signifier that one has a lot of friends. Decorated shoes are worn with pride even well into adulthood. Popular styles involve intricate embroidery with curling, organic filigree and floral motifs.
