Sloppy in Singapore by AMANDA LIM
I do not think that Singapore has become a nation of sloppy dressers, because I still see people on the streets all dolled up. There are people who still take the time and effort to look good, especially the girls and some of the guys, because which girl or guy wouldn't want to be noticed by the opposite gender. In my opinion, it is a human nature to want others to notice you.Yes, some of you may argue that there are still quite a number of people dressed in slippers-bermudas, that’s because these people has chosen comfort over style as we cannot deny the fact that Singapore is really warm throughout the year. But I still believe that these sloppy dressers will doll themselves up for important occasions such as weddings, interviews and any other important events. Take myself for an example, I do not usually dress myself up (I disliked shopping), but when it comes to my secondary graduation night, I spend ages to doll up and same goes to ever guy or girl who attended that night.
Often people dress according to whom they are meeting or where they are going, like for example, if you are going out alone to Orchard, and Orchard has majority of people wearing slippers-bermudas, you’ll just wear it, but if you are going out with friends, you will dress up because you care about what your friends think about you. Or another example, A date with your boyfriend/girlfriend, you will definitely try to look your best to look presentable so that the other party will feel proud being with you.
Everyone has their different needs and wants. Certain people may not have the buying power, while others might think that it is not necessary to spend money on dressing up on normal days as they might have more important things to spend their money on.
In conclusion, although majority dress sloppily on normal days, but when it comes to important events and such, they are willing to spend the time, effort and money to look good and presentable.
