How do you define fashion? For me, as long as you are feeling comfortable and confident with what you are wearing. It is fashion to me. What is Singaporeans' fashion sense? Take a walk along Orchard Road or any HDB area, the most common attire is berms and the ever popular T-shirt. This attire applies to any ages, race, religions, languages and gender. Because, we are all Singaporeans and we are following what our national pledge says. We pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, languages and religions. Therefore, our attire is the same too. However, there is nothing wrong with wearing berms and t-shirt. Nobody will be telling you that what you are wearing is fashionable or unfashionable. There is only this term called appropriate or inappropriate.
If people want to compare our dressing sense to other countries, compare us with countries that have the same weather as us. My teacher was telling me that when summer arrive in Germany, you can see many people tanning in nude. This is because, out of a year, 8months in Germany is winter. That is why, Singaporeans don't have such a habit of tanning.
Let's talk about a nearby country which many mandopop lovers want to visit one day. Taiwan. From, tv shows or Taiwan drama, they may appeared well dressed. Because why? It is all for show. Most Taiwaneses also prefer to deck out in berms and t-shirt during summer time. But, the only difference is that, most of the girls over there apply at least some foundation before going out. I guess their percentage of girls who apply make up is the same as Singaporean girls who don't apply any make up. However, this cannot be blame, Singapore is too humid and the make up will smudge over time.
My grooming procedures before I go out. First, brush my teeth. Next, apply sunblock if I am going out in the day. Thirdly, wear my clothes and blow dry my hair follow by applying clay and if I am lazy on that day, I will just wear a cap. Next, go to the toilet to make sure that the hair is okay. Lastly, before going out, have a cup of water or fruit and go to the toilet to look at the mirror again. Finally, I can go out now. All is done in 30mins time. Haha.
Next, Flip Flops.
My Filp Flops
Mr Brazilian
Mr Warrior
Mr Beachy
Mr White
Are you able to name anyone you know who don't own a flip flop? I mean it is appropriate to wear flip flops. Unless you are wearing pants with flip flops? Flip flop goes well with berms much better than wearing leather shoes with berms. My flip flops have travel with me to many places in Singapore and other countries and I am not embarrass to show them to the public. There is nothing wrong with wearing them around.
I hereby conclude that there is nothing wrong with Singaporean Dressing Sense
If you dare to defy me, You will get it from me!
Next up, pajamas. I go OMG when I saw this. Going out in pj is way too comfortable for me as a dressing code to go out. It is a no no for me to go out in pj unless I am paid to do so. haha. If little children were to wear pj out for some late night shopping, you will think that they are so cute. But if I caught an adult wearing that, I will go like eeeeek and ask the person not to come out and scare people cause it is not halloween yet.
A lastly photo of me in pj. Not one but two because it is Great Singapore sales now. Buy 1 get 1 Free!
The last time I wore pj is for my swimming lesson when in P3. So, the pj looks super small and tight to me. 
Pajamas is for sleeping. Not for going out.
Revert Back to my own self.
