Keeping up tradition, leaders attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Leaders Meeting arrived at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Sunday in Chinese-style attire provided by the host, China.
The attire consists of a satin jacket featuring Chinese-style cotton buttons and round flower patterns with peonies surrounding the four letters of APEC, and a white silk shirt.
It's a custom for leaders of APEC members to put on costumes provided by the host for their annual retreat.
This year's attire was designed by the Shanghai Garment Research Institute and Qinyi Company. It was selected out of more than 40 candidates from all over the country.
The host offered jackets and shirts in the same style in six colors, namely red, blue, green, brown, dark red, and black for the leaders to choose.
The leaders are expected to pose for a group photo in the attire at the end of the gathering.
