Against such preferences, Mr. Yebai, clad in flashy and frivolously colored attire, had no reason to be seen as a serious, working individual. Rather, he was perceived as a profligate who only knew how to play and not work.
Those who are serious and fully dedicated to their work, who integrate into society, should not especially emphasize their individuality. A typical representative of such a person would be President Chen Jiaming, walking ahead of Gu Nuan.
In the business world, it is the darker colors that symbolize a steady personality and reliability, inspiring trust in others.
Chen Jiaming would never dress like Mr. Yebai, adorned like a peacock drawing all eyes, nor would he choose light, frivolous white to dress himself up like a profligate. The colors of his suits were either light gray or dark gray, always perfectly appropriate.
Only attire this sensible could reassure business partners of your integrity and ease negotiations.
