Oly couldn't afford a different stylist so they all have the same same layered clothes look -- so overdressed -- even in super hot Sg.

Nice pretty girls, pity about the camera.

I have never heard of a 'layered clothes' look. Urban chic, classic, american, hip-hop, but never 'layered'. That's not a look. That's just putting one piece of cloth over another. And it's realllllly common, no?

THe layered dressing is not appropriate unless you are staying outdoors in the cold for long periods(like homeless people for example) and that is seldom the case because when the weather is cold people don't even like to step outdoors.

Imagine putting on so many layers to go out for a brief period -- the moment you step indoors again it is going to get very warm quickly with indoor heating so you have to do a strip parade, stripping off the layers one by one when indoors and putting back the layers when stepping out again -- what a chore, just going to a few places and you'll be sick and tired of putting on and taking off again and again.

So usually people don't do that -- it is not convenient -- except if you want to make a kind of fashion statement.

Who in Sg wear so many layers anyway? Is it snowing in Sg???:rolleyes:

She is a Singapore girl, who would carry XZ1 to travel everywhere in the world. Including the cold country lah. that;s why wear so many layers loh.
 

I call this consistency.

Right Oly have to keep reminding people that they have 3 generation of cameras with all having the same old sensors to maintain their high principle of consistency. ;)

For a pretty girl with nice figure. Less is more lah.

The whole POINT is to make a fashion statement. Fashion is not merely frivolous- it is an important expression of one's aesthetics and style. I sometimes go out with vests and blazers too- yes, a "layered look" in Singapore. I find so many places are air-con that comfort is also ok. Practicality is one factor, but practicality doesn't always guide style.

And again, layering is a way of wearing clothes. It's not a look. It's what you layer that matters- the colors, the patterns, the fabrics, the cut. Otherwise, there'll be no difference between a Hugo Boss suit and a g2000 one.

I've tried to answer your question on whether it is the usual/common or uncommon thing to wear layered clothing in cold countries or not.

IF you're talking style and fashion then I'll share with you my observation that people with a personal style(whether or not others may find agreeable) does not follow the fashion. Style goes with personality -- the person is more important than the clothes he/she wears. A person who follows the fashion keenly usually does not understand style because personal indentity if that person has one is lost and we call that a fashion victim.

Style develops over time, fashion goes on a whim.

Actually I didn't ask this question. But yes, certainly it is more important to layer in a cold country.

And as for personal style, I can be into a techno, futuristic aesthetic- Y3, for example- and still move with the 'fashion' within this genre. Similarly if I want classic American (CK, Levi's), urban/modern (Apple, Fuji Water, etc), and so on, ideas still change within this genre.

Only a very few people follow 'trendy' fashion, for which the key thing is constant change- the H&M and Zara crowd, as well as other fashion-forward labels. But BTW, it doesn't change on a whim. These designers follow rules like 1) has black/ white been 'in' for too long? Are people's wardrobes lacking color? 2) What is catching on around the world, in India, Thailand, Greece, Japan, and so on, that others might like to wear?

It's not simply a designer sitting around and pulling ideas off the top of his head. Fashion changes, but not 'on a whim'.

My point? If you don't layer, that's your choice, with key consideration to what you consider to be practical. But it's not really a style. In almost every style (other than 'uniforms' like what uni students wear: T-shirt and berms; or office worker's shirt and trousers), layering exists. Sometimes you layer a scarf. Sometimes you layer a vest. Sometimes you wear a singlet and layer over with a shirt. But layering is just a tool. Just walk to the shopping mall and look at ANY brand, covering every style imaginable. 99% of them would have displayed mannequins with layered clothes at some point of time.
 

The sentence that makes the most sense in this thread!

Yeah, in other words, show some skin, Felicia zeh zeh! :embrass:
