past season.
opps. its vogue.co.uk.

i mean instead of always sticking to normal cargo berms or those surf shorts,
why not try one that if of linen material?

Gedanken SG

Linen? Read the book, saw the movie, got the T-shirt – it’s a blooming nightmare to maintain.

I seriously wonder if the threadstarter dresses UP to go to the neighbourhood food centre to get her meals..

Confused

as i said, t shirt and berms maybe boring.
but with right color combination, interesting details and cutting, it can be very interesting. example, one can wear a white t shirt and dark blue berms,
but wear a very loud red belt. the belt will kinda 'spice up' the outfit. i know someone who wears t shirt and jeans with sneakers all the time, but he uses socks which are of quirky colors and design. minor details play a very important role.

dresses are usually more ex (those that are not ex usually look crap) and less versatile than separate tops and bottoms… i wouldn’t wear a dress unless there’s a special occasion…

hey dun care lah what how we wear as long as we don’t follow other people’s style. later other ppl call us posers. Best thing it to wear what you think if more comfortable and just be yourself.

Seconded

Mr. Green

Agreed. Personally though, my vote's not for what you wear but how you carry it off. I've seen guys try and dress up to the nines but look like idiots because they're just not used to suits, and someone in a jacket, T-shirt and Levi's comes along and spoils the party.

This Saturday my fiancee and I have been invited to attend some rural sophisticate's engagement party, and said yokel has specified formal dress. I'm SO lookng forwarded to being surrounded by a bunch of mooks in polyester suits and novelty ties, sharing a cheap cigar between the three of them. Oh, joy.

of course, being comfortable is one thing. but not to the extend you become sloppy. how to be ourselves and not follow other people's style? everything has been done before. Smile

to the person who wonder if i dress up even if i were to just go to the neighbourhood foodcentre. i dont dress up as in plan on what to wear, but i do dress decently. (read: not wear pyjamas.) someone once told me, you never know who you meet, especially if its someone like a potential client or your boss, impression always counts, no matter what people say.

PLUS given the weather in SG, its even more limited for us guys to dress what we wanted to dress. Long sleeves or dbl clothed... We sweat more profusely than we wanted. But eh... still see some guys and gals dressed like its 18 degree celcius out there......

I rather dress sleeveless or singlet when going for drinks or cycling or simple errands. Outings, dates, meetings warrant better wear. I tink unbuttoned shirt with vest and jeans works well. Mr. Green

Gedanken SG

Vest? In Singapore?! Shocked

MooKu SG

a bunch of mooks? Neutral

Sad

i've seen this happen very often. another thing i really dont understand is why do some guys try so hard to be fashionable, and they wear leather jacket, or layer up their shirts in this HOT HOT weather???

Bontakun SG

Not those kind of vest you assume to be... but rather those you wear inside shirt but presentable 1... or t-shirt to replace it oso can.

Gedanken SG

Whoops! Nothing whatsoever to do with Mooku - honest injun! Embarassed

Gedanken SG

Whoops - wrong definition of vest. I was thinking vest as in waistcoat. My bad for being so far down south.

MooKu SG

is there really such a term being used or you just made it up? Razz

lovegoddes SG

personally, i cant stand the hot weather. i use alot of those white t shirts that they sell in the market for old men. the 2.50 for one kind. but with good jeans and some accessories, it doesnt look that cheap.

Bontakun SG

Haha, I oso got a bit confused by the term "vest". I tink shirt (short or long sleeved) are a better wear, buttoned or unbuttoned. Add jeans or cargo pants or pants. Can get sunglasses too. Since its sunny and glaring in SG. Cool
