Changing Tastes in Taiwan Fashion Clothing
"There's nothing for me to wear" is a common complaint of men walking around the Taiwan fashion clothing sections of Taiwanese department stores. It was only recently that retailers in Taiwan began to see men as fashion objects, and while things are beginning to improve, men are still largely overlooked when it comes to fashion.
There are basically two types of men's clothing in Taiwan: brands for the young and hip, and conservative dress for the mature businessman and professional. According to a manager of the menswear department at Taipei's Evergreen Tokyu Department Store, most of the men's fashions produced in Taiwan are geared toward teenagers and young adults. These men don't usually have a large budget for clothes, and they aren't too concerned with quality. Older professionals and executives tend to buy imported clothes that are on the conservative side.
