A fall essential with many styles available in China, from simple solid colors to retro patterns. We suggest buying 2-3 pieces to rotate.
3. Long-Sleeve T-Shirts/Hoodies
Suitable as a layering piece or worn alone, Chinese hoodies have great designs and are cheap.

Small accessories can be bought in multiples; they don't add much weight and can be paired with different outfits.
