Some of them may even having their own style by wearing skirt and pants at the same time. Their appearance will normally easy be identified as their dress code colour would be more likely be sharp colours such as purple,red or light green.

They also take pictures by putting a horizontal 'Peace sign' over their eyes, pressing a fist facing outwards against their puffed cheek. They also apply a very sharp tone in their speech which they classify as "cute". Another distinct feature of an Lala Mui is they swear in most of their conversations similarly to their male counterparts, "Lala zai".
The 'Lala Mui' "culture" is especially prevalent in the secular Chinese educational system schools.
