This has been a widely discussed topic in recent times. In the Straits Times Life! section and in the weekly fashion Urban papers.
Yes, is my unfortunate answer... I already have a list of people I know in hand, who are just too lazy to dress up and may have committed serious fashion faux pas unknowingly.
Being a hairstylist myself, I do fuss about the way I look 99% of the time..Image is everything in this line. There are times of PMSes when I just feel lousy and couldn't be bothered much. BUT! I still won't be caught dead wearing my PJs out! That is so wrong!
Singaporeans often like to dress in tee shirt and jeans/shorts/berms. Is it because of the hot and humid weather that has started to fry whatever dressing up moods we are in?
For girls, wearing shorts at the right occasion is ok because we get to show off our sexy legs. With so many fashion outlets popping up all over Singapore and at affordable prices, there really is no excuse to look sloppy. No FBT type shorts please!
As for guys, I absolutely cannot stand any of them wearing 'shorts' that is grossly above mid thigh. What's with the guys wearing sports wear like 364 days a year? I can't stand the sports jerseys too.
And then there are the executives. There are a minority who really knows what fashion is about, even at work. The majority are just wearing ill-fitting shirts and pants and colours are just dull and boring.

I just saw recently in the Straits Times: "Singapore has fallen to 3rd place in World's most competitive economy"
What?!! 3rd place in the whole world? They make it sound so upsetting that we have fallen in rank.. AHHH such a stressful country we are living in.. No wonder they have no moods to dress up nicely for work...
However, I believe we are not the worst dressers in the world. But we definitely cannot be compared to New York and Paris or Milan. Fashion heart throbs!
I remembered when I was going to go to the States for my holiday, I was so excited! It was winter time and I can finally put my pretty shawls, colourful leggings, cute beanies and fur lined jackets to good use!! What's the best thing? People won't stare at you like you are an alien from outer space because they are as colourful and trendy as you!
Perhaps, the weather does play a part in determining Singaporeans' wardrobe. i.e. You have got to remove that jacket 5 minutes after putting it on. Your under arms dangerously close to dripping sweat...
BUT that is sooo boring!! We shouldn't let that deter us from looking good! You only live once right? And of course there's anti-perspirant!
Check out this pic:
I have no idea how can one even step out of the house looking like this?!! It is obvious the tee shirt is too short for him AND horribly exposing his hairy and big stomach..
In my phase of growing up, I have tried different types of looks starting from my teenage years and it was fun! I've had different coloured hair at different lengths, which includes pink, purple, green and more!
Now, I'm in my phase of looking polished. As you get older, you gotta tone done a wee bit.. :D No more green bangs...
*Flip flops: They either make or break you.
Flip flops doesn't have to be the sloppy looking ones you get from the market. Nowadays, the girl's version has lots of bling and flowers and pretty colours available! No crocs please!!! aRghh
Hawaianas brand of flip flops have plenty of pretty and cool designs for males and females!
*PJs: Noooo.... PJs are meant for the eyes of your soft toys only.
I almost fainted once when my dear friend came down in her PJs to meet me. Very courageous indeed!
Of course she was trying to be all discreet and she only had to walk past one very crowded, bright coffeeshop at night (the darkness keep things veiled) just to get something from me...
Luckily I had to rush. I wouldn't want her to have risked having tea with me at the crowded coffeshop in her garfield PJs...
P/s: Sorry gal if you happen to read this!!! Wasn't trying to be mean.
Ways to look good in Pjs...
Me in my PJs, looking swanky:
By using a waisted belt, it makes my Pjs look kind of retro....from the 60s.
Like these:
You can look good by trying to act cutesy in your pjs looking just like mummy's girl...
AWW.......
A close up of the classic checkers and teddy bear Pjs!
An artist's cap to add spice! Hats and caps are a good way to spice up an outfit!
Sebum (natural oil) is produced from your scalp. It usually will be able to 'travel' till the midlength of your hair and keep it smooth and shiny and protected. So, the longer you keep your hair, the harder it is for your natural oils to reach the length of it.
