For one we have to define whats fashion...does fashion dictates
us, or we dictate fashion? Fashion is more like a culture, and
fashion reflects our culture. We never complain about young girls
wearing oversized t-shirts and short fbt walking along Orchard road
and shopping malls (provided their figure is not bad), but we place
criticisms on others wearing t-shirts and bermudas and flip-flops
at the same place. Double standard?
Neither does a scene of a street full of over-dressed people
positively reflect a country's society. Dressing appropriate for
the occassion (time, place, event) should be the main point here,
but arguments abound on what truly is appropriate. Personal
preference plays a big role here, and my view is that as long as
you are not embarrassed by the way you are dressed, and no official
rules state you shouldnt be wearing this way, you are only at the
mercy of the eyes of others.
