‘Clothes have no gender’: married man in China wears makeup and Lolita dresses to work each day, urges colleagues to do the same
- Married former programmer with unusual daily routine has full support of his wife who also gives him makeup tips
- Mainland social media embraces man’s lifestyle and praises married couple’s ‘love, respect and acceptance’ of each other
A married man in China who wears a Lolita dress and makeup to work every day while spreading a philosophy of “understanding the situation of women” has captured the imagination of mainland social media.
The 36-year-old, known as D-Jiang, who previously worked as a programmer at a major internet company in China, began wearing the dresses to work more than two years ago.
Each morning, he devotes two hours to perfecting his makeup, embellishing his dress and tending to his waist-length, pink-and-white dyed hair.
“When I take the time to dress up nicely and put on a beautiful dress, I feel like I’m making the most of my time,” D-Jiang said.
As the president of his company’s anime club, he also encourages shy colleagues to do the same despite their inhibitions.
