This Is About The Dressing
I know, I know, it's a very subjective topic to talk about. Afterall, we are all not created alike and I cannot dictate how you wear your clothes or your shoes...
I just want to lightly comment on how sometimes guys that totally reflects (IMO) how comfortable he is with his companions. Yes, comfortable. Sometimes, when I am walking on the streets, I see this bloke in T-shirt (it looked like something he has worn for at least 2 years or more [READ: old and loose]), by himself. Or standing next to him, sometimes trailing behind me and holding on to his hand, is a girl who looks suspiciously like his girlfriend. She is in heeled sandals, lightly made-up face, and in a nice frock or casual wear and carrying a dainty, if not, catchy handbag to match her clothes.
I do a double-take. And I look at the bloke. "Man, couldn't he at least bother to dress up so that they look like a normal couple?" I thought. The guy seemed like a kallang-guni standing next to the girl. You can so tell that the girl dressed up for the guy, but the man doeesn't seemed to care. I just find it so strange. Men expect that their gfs or wives to look attractive. But the men themselves look like... a kallang-guni.
They have forgotten that just as much as they want to be proud of the attractive woman next to him, they also have the responsibility to be the pride of their partners.
As I've said earlier, I cannot dictate how you should wear your clothes or your shoes. But I think, the least you could do, is to be smart in your dressing. Old shirts can be worn with style, you just need to know how. And style does not mean just the clothes. To my male readers: Your best accessory would be your hair, your shoes and your countenance too.
Hey, now don't complain. YOu don't have to worry about hairbands, hairclips, belts, necklaces, earrings, shoes, handbags, glasses, sunglasses, watches, scarves, brooches, lipsticks, nailpolish, makeup, etc etc... like the girls do.
My suggestion is:
1) Wear clean shirts. Unless you know how to wear them, old shirts are best kept for barbeques, the beach, or coffeeshop da-bao trips. They don't have to be new, but if you are unsure if they look like rags, consult your mom or your sister.
2) If you love to wear sports shoes with pants and jeans, please get a good design. The NB from the army is a average reference. Don't wear shoes designed in the 90s. They are good for the tennis courts, but no good for Orchard Road.
3) Hair. Keep them neat and visit the $10 hair cut shops when your hair is longer. Colours are optional, but do consult a hairstylist (from a proper hair salon) and not do it yourself.
4) Countenance. People do look at your face, whether you are cute as Bryan of Star Idol or Mark Lee. Very few people would like to get close to someone who carries 'sian' or 'life has no meaning' on their face, day after day. You are not tired of that, we are tired. But of course, I cannot expect you to look like you can conquer the world everyday. Your countenance has alot to do with your daily life encounters.
Other things I can "pang chan", but surely, if you are with your girlfriend... you do want her to know that it's a joy to be with her? She can tell it from your expression. This is the woman who has chose to be with you and not with another guy. She deserves a smile from you, and not a sulky face.
If you are at lost of what to do next, turn on the tv. Do comparisons using my examples above. Observe and roughly agar how the men on tv wear their clothes, or just simply look at how colours are coordinated on their apparel. Then just slowly copy the styles.
It'd take sometime, but the girls will notice the change in you. :) Have fun exploring!
