I wasn't so concious, till I read that column in the papers that day.

Chanced upon this in the papers a while ago... I thought it's kinda interesting.

A number of people who responded claimed that going places in tee-shirts, shorts and flip-flops means you aren't according people the proper respect.

Yet, I wonder.. how do these people define 'respect'?

Anyone care to share your view with me?

QX179R SG

it depends on where you go..

don't tell me you attend wedding dinners with t-shirts, shorts & slippers..

I.M.T.K.W.Y.H.H.O.P.K SG

hahah that pretty true..lol

sinicker SG

my gf says i look too slack with my berms, tshirt and sandals. she always make noise.

even go singapore flyer, she say must wear buttoned shirt and jeans. if not i wear tshirt and jeans... she complain complain complain...

that's why she is now... the EX.

i prefer to be comfortable over the weekends after dressing up throughout the week for work/sch.

but at least i dont go orchard in berms. but if i'm from a hockey game or what.. lan lan wear berms lor.

i do get better service from sales personnel once i dress up. but i dont care.

i'm confident with how comfortable i am. :)

if angmoh can wear tshirt, berms, sandals board aeroplane... what's wrong?

Hanar.. Wedding don't where lok kok la.

Must depend on occasion and venue mah.

You go Sentosa wear suit to show respect meh? LOL

But I just dont understand what's the big fuss about wearing shorts, tee and sandals to the city. Big deal. Ang moh tourist also wear no1 kao bei.

as ppl said first impression is important..so they see outlook first before they slowly understand you..soo sometime how a ppl doll up counts..e.g,your first date you of course doll and properly dress up isnt?dont tell me ur first date to catch a movie u wear tee?if soo i think the girl will be abit unhappy about it even she dont show..or she wear the same too?lol then u two will be heavenly match..

cheers_~
