Fashion-wise, is Singapore right up there with the big boys like U.S, France, Italy, Japan and even Taiwan? The answer is realatively unknown but I do feel Singaporeans' sense of fashion/dressing sucks badly. Admit it, we're a long way off others.
But is such a comparison fair? Can u expect to see a Singaporen guy in turtle neck and leather blazer walking down along the streets in Orchard? How about a girl with fluffy skirt, leather boots and a winter scarf around her neck? What I do feel unfair about such comparison is that climate plays a part in fashion as well. So Singapore is such a fucking hot coutry that we expect to see people walking shamelessly in singlets, the so call bermudas(god knows if they understand what a bermudas is), slippers, t-shirts, etc down the streets in town? This just isn't right either.
"Singapore lags behind others in dressing and fashion because we're all too lazy to be creative."
Good fashion and dressing sense doesn't mean u've got to dress like a movie star going to the Oscars or some model doing the catwalk. What good fashion and dressing sense means is to be creative, unique and feel comfortable in what u're wearing. Simple clothes can make good fashion too sometimes. Easier said than done though, there are afew factors that contribute to poor dress sense amongst Singaporeans :
- Too lazy
- Copycats
- Too stingy
- Too naive
Since when do we see all these giodarno mini tees with levis jeans being so popular amogst the fairer sex? Its a trend isn't it? You see someone wearing something nice and u want that too. But what if u've a waist of 30 and above? Do u think u'd look good in those low cut jeans and body hugging tees? This trend is not so hot nowadays, the Jessica Simpson hot pants with skimpy tops and some sports bags are getting hotter these days. But seriously the chances seeing of a perfect pair of legs that match those hot pants are similiar to those of seeing a rainbow.
The guys? No better either even though guys' fashion is more limited compared to the ladies' who have a variety to choose from. But isn't the sight of guys in t-shirt and jeans or those long sleeves topman shirts and jeans getting a little too irking for our eyes? And how about those who wears slippers everywhere they go?
Personally I feel different characteristics will opt for different fashion sense. There will always be those who don't give a damn about what they wear. There will be those naive ones who think too highly of their looks and bods and go for something which turn them into some clowns in a Singapore Circus. The worst ones though, are the stingy ones. And we're not talking about branded goods here, we're talking about a shirt that costs $70, a jeans that costs $120, a blouse that costs $40, things like that. If a t shirt that costs $20 is considered out of your budget then u might as well get those 3 for $10 ones.
That is why they say Singaporeans are ugly. They go for bargains everytime. As long there is bargain they don't mind if its ugly or not. The worse ones will want cheap and yet NICE designs with GOOD quality. Why don't they just fucking shoot themselves?
Good dress sense is so vital these days yet we are all neglecting it.
