Analysis on how to prepare clothes and common sense of dressing when studying in Canada
1. What's the difference between the dressing habits of Canadians and those of China? Whether China people or foreigners living in Canada, they dress casually and don't stick to form on most occasions. T-shirts, jeans and sneakers can be said to be the most common collocation. Casual clothes and shoes are also liked by more and more people. The principle of wearing is comfortable, beautiful and generous. In China, Japanese, Hongkong and Europe, we can often see many people dressed neatly in suits and ties. In North America, these things are only needed for very formal occasions such as going to church, attending weddings, funerals and graduation ceremonies. One thing to note is that foreigners treat you to dinner. In general, it is mainly to exchange feelings. Eating is just a cover, and China people have little momentum in treating people. Don't dress too neatly unless it is stated in the formal invitation that you want to wear formal clothes, so as not to embarrass everyone. 2. Since wearing a suit and tie and shoes is too solemn, what should I pay attention to? Because custom-made dresses in North America are too expensive, it is wise to bring one or two spare dresses from China if possible. However, since it's a dress, you don't need a famous brand, but you'd better try to fit it and seize the rare opportunity to show the beauty of China people. Not as common as casual wear in China. Suits and suits don't last long, but they are still very important. In addition, some jobs need to wear a suit often. ? 3. Do you want to take more spare clothes from China? Or buy it locally? If it is convenient, try to bring more spare clothes from home to go abroad. On the one hand, the price. It's much cheaper to buy the same thing in China. On the other hand, China people are shorter than foreigners, some sizes are difficult to find, and the design may not be suitable or conform to the habit. For example, many foreigners wear jeans and their pants are pulled down so low that people in China feel uncomfortable, let alone put them on. At present, most of the clothes and shoes on American and Canadian shelves are made in China. It's a good idea to bring more clothes with good quality and style from China. Moreover, the labor force in Canada is very expensive, so products that require labor are very expensive. Moreover, the clothing styles here are not as rich as those in China, and most of the clothes are not very nice. The clothes of famous designers are prohibitively expensive. 4. Can you suggest what kind of clothes to bring? Knowing the climate of the destination in advance may be a key factor. For example, if you go to the southern United States or Vancouver, Canada, coats, furs and other cold-proof products are not necessary, and often a sweater can survive the winter. But once you go to Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and other places in the north, warm-up supplies will come in handy! In addition, pure cotton products are comfortable to wear and expensive in Canada, so it is essential to bring more pure cotton underwear, long cotton sweaters, pure cotton T-shirts, towels, socks and pure cotton bedding. Silk products are also expensive, but silk clothes are not very popular, so it is enough to bring two or three silk clothes. If you often wear a suit, you can bring more silk ties. 5. What should I pay attention to when I bring clothes from China to Canada? Because almost all rooms in Canada have air conditioning and heating, the clothing structure here is different from that in China. Clothing has changed from the diversity of domestic seasonal changes to the singleness of adapting to around 20-25 degrees Celsius. So you have to prepare more shirts and pants of various colors. Interestingly, most shirts in China are white, while few people in North America wear white shirts. There is a very important skill. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large in winter. Take it off when you come in, and you will have frequent opportunities to wear it when you go out. Therefore, when choosing winter clothes, it is best to choose pleated clothes with two front pieces and buttons or zippers, such as coats and sweaters. It's easy to add and subtract on the top, but it's troublesome on the bottom. There are two countermeasures: first, when choosing winter clothes, deliberately buy longer ones. For example, take one or two down jackets longer than your knees to keep out the cold below. Second, try to wear some thick jeans or trousers that can keep out the wind and cold. Of course, if you are not afraid of being too hot in the room, you can add a pair of tights or cashmere pants to solve it. The high-grade leather shoes, sandals and sports shoes here are also very expensive. You'd better buy more pairs of China. Because it is very cold in winter here and the snow is thick, the government often sprinkles salt on the road surface in order to remove snow. Most leather boots made in Canada are high-heeled and salt-resistant, so winter leather shoes can be bought locally in Canada. 6. How many clothes should I take from China to Canada? According to living habits, take a bath every day and change into clean ones from the inside out; Usually, clothes are washed once a week. According to the above situation, you can work out the amount that suits you for at least one week. By the way, you'd better change the color and texture of your clothes more. I once heard a story: A student in China always wears the same white shirt, although he changes clothes every day. His tutor finally couldn't help asking him why he didn't change his clothes. It can be seen that to change some prejudices of foreigners against China people, we should start from scratch. If you don't go back to China often, I suggest you prepare more. 7. I heard that a man loves swimming and took several pairs of swimming trunks to Canada, but he couldn't put on any of them. Why? Since women are trying to lead a world trend of wearing less and less, men should also learn to be shy and cross over. In fact, men's swimming trunks can be seen everywhere in Canada, which are almost knee-length and definitely longer than those in China. Foreigners may ask you why your bikini is only half worn when they see the shorts that China men usually wear! If you want to swim, you'd better buy swimming trunks in Canada, which are not expensive. The key is that the style conforms to the local customs in Canada. The swimming pool water here is very clean, and most indoor and outdoor swimming pools are free. Moreover, the shower room in the dressing room attached to the swimming pool is also hot water, and the conditions are very good. 8. Does Canada also pursue famous brands? What's the difference with domestic famous brands? In terms of dress, people in most parts of Canada are not keen on pursuing domestic famous brands, and there are not many famous brand fashion advertisements in various media. Except where a few rich people gather, most shops cut prices to attract business. Canadians who pursue famous brands are mostly teenagers. In addition to loving dogs and their worship of some star players, they have a general preference for some sporting goods such as Nike, and know little about many well-known brands popular in Europe and Asia. There is a saying in China that there are people who come back from abroad. Sanqi? , that is? Talk foreign, spend money stingy, dress rustic? . On the other hand, it also reflects the Canadian clothing culture.
