Why men in Singapore wear sandals everywhere they go?

[jimmycroock]

hahaha i heard that too, wasn't see that but i must say its new generation fashion i guess

In my opinion sandal is more comfortable and easy to use. So that everybody loves to wear sandal anywhere.

I do not disagree that sandals are comfortable and easy to use. However, there is a right time to wear those stuff.

If you want to wear long pants and collar shirt, wear a proper pair of shoes. Otherwise, stick to your berms and tshirt.

Oh, so it's bad dress sense if I walk around in Singapore, but not Milan ?

Yes it is whether in Milan or Singapore.

I m sure it is just a handful of people in Milan that does that, whereas in Singapore, you get a whole load of Singaporean men wearing collared shirt, long pants and slippers or sandals.

The mindset of people who do what they like to do as long as they do not hurt any body is : Who cares what you think ? MYOB.

sinkie guys don't have minds of their own. like sinkie gals, they're followers and copycats of the latest fashion rage in the west. the phenomenon of men wearing suits and dress shirts and long pants with sandals in the west has been around for some time since this "indian" summer (long spell of summer). sinkies are just catching up. it's winter now in the northern hemisphere, and men in europe and north america will have to go back to socks and shoes. but in sg, guys can wear sandals all year, and suits are a no-no obviously due to the heat and humidity. ang mo groom below is wearing his wedding suit but with sandals in a tropical island. yes, it's happening in hawaiian weddings.

older ang mo men are also jumping on the sandal bandwagon.....in their suits.

Looks like Trashion to me. Poor taste.

 

[eatshitndie]

even young hollywood celebrities are joining in the sandal revolution.

This is evidence of the power and the influence of the Burmese.

I'm proud to have chosen Burma as the country of my ancestors.

due to the long hot summer the past 6 months, i've been wearing my teva sports sandals to the office. it's one notch above sandals in terms of office "formality". anyway, in the valley these days, if a chap were to show up in the office with shirt and tie, he would be laughed off the door. techies are usually in t's, jeans and sandals during summer. executives and managers have to set the example with collared shirts and business casual pants, but shirts can be tucked out. i broke the unwritten rule by wearing my pair of teva.

i plan to promote teva-like sandals to the burmese as there are various benefits and advantages:
1. it protects toes from hitting legs of furniture and roadside curbs.
2. it keeps m&d from splashing in the rear, unlike flip flops.
3. it can be used for jogging, cycling, and running.
4. it is just as breathable as flip flops without the need for socks.
5. it keeps the feet from bacteria and parasites that can otherwise sneak up on those wearing flip flops.

i've worn my pair of teva in all events and occasions in central america, hawaii, south east asia, india, africa, and even flew all my international flights in them. they work so well, and they barely wear out. i'm truly impressed with the new design and technology in such footwear. i will be wearing them during the black and white ball on new year's eve.

The men can wear whatever they want without the need for female bitches validation, agreement and justification.. Fuck you!! It is the men's choice.

By all means wear whatever. No one stopping you if you have zero fashion sense.

You are wrong. Just go to any food centre and you see lots of men wearing collar shirt, pants and slippers or sandals. Chinese singaporeans included.

No men will give a shit on what you think..

No women give an ounce about your fashion sense too.

Teva is not meant to go with collar shirt and long pants. Period.
