People have suggested that wearers should speak softly and smile often to look cuter in such a style.

The look of Japanese actress Satomi Ishihara in the 2014 TV drama Heartbroken Chocolatier was rated by netizens as a typical example of what "easy to get married" looks like.

Among Chinese celebrities who have a similar wardrobe, the two most mentioned are Zhang Zetian and actress Guan Xiaotong.

The whole ensemble for the style implies the message, "I am nice, soft and pure, and also easygoing," which aligns with the values of a "good woman" in traditional Asian culture.

But intentionally following the style to win popularity among men was soon attacked by young Chinese people on the internet.

Chen Cangcang, a young fashion blogger, posted a story on Douban titled Following 'Easy to Get Married' Style is the Most Cheesy Thing I Can Imagine.

In the story, Chen said an independent woman would not take marriage as the only thing that mattered in her life. She will not dress up for marriage. Nowadays, only ignorant people would believe that marriage is more important than work to a woman.

Many women also disliked the look and the intention to win men's hearts through one's style of dress.

"I would rather not get married than pick up 'easy to get married' style," a Douban user Jimaojianzi said.

Although most female netizens said they would rather be themselves, some people showed suspicion.

"Don't undervalue the intention to wear clothes according to guys' taste. Both men and women would deck for their beloved ones and to make them happy. Who else they can dress up for? Animals?” said a netizen named Jason in a comment on Douban.
