Beijing Style: Black 'cool'

Editor's note: We're all told that one should stay away from wearing dark clothing, especially black clothes, on scorching hot summer days as they absorb sunshine and keep us warm. However, stylish young men and women never follow this rule and actually look quite “cool” and slim in the eyes of many beholders.
