I guess it's perfectly fine? If they're able to look decent in it, then I'm okay with it. Their fashion isn't really that bad actually, it's a lot better than the boxers, singlet and slippers combination, or the common casual jeans and t-shirt style.

Pffft! No one supports Fake and unlegit stuffs lke ''Ah-Bengs/Lians'' And ''Muts/(what-ever they call malay ah-lians)

those fake subcrew hats and cheap skinny jeans just shows how cheap they could be.

But i must say,i do support those who buy legit stuffs,at least they make effort to dress themself proper!

I think it depends on personal preference but I think those "Ah Bengs" can be grouped as fashion victims as well as fashion disasters, basically because they have no minds of their own.

It really sucks to see people lose themselves to trends especially when they spend money to look like everyone else. For example, my friend bought contact lens just so that she can wear those big shades that are considered trendy now. How senseless is that.

Finally, I hate those "trendy" caps that can fly off anytime the wind blows. And it makes their heads look super big I don't even think it is cool to begin with.

jforjulia, you've got a point there. It's pretty much a ''I-follow-what-other-teenagers-are-doing-as-I-think-it-looks-damn-cool'' kind of trend? These people just follow suit to what the majority are wearing in order to fit in with the fashion.

No offence to any out there but I don't see brightly-coloured skinnies and brightly-coloured shirts (some may even come with those horizontal lines) as a fashionable trend.

> Finally, I hate those "trendy" caps that can fly off anytime the wind blows. And it makes their heads look super big I don't even think it is cool to begin with.

I couldn't control my laughter when I read this. Well, I gotta agree on you with this point. I find it funny on how they don't wear their caps properly but leave a gap in between their heads and the caps. Hmm...

those "trendy" caps are actually just trucker caps adjusted to the smallest size and lightly rested on one's head. Which is indeed a stupid way of wearing any cap in general.

And blindly following a trend is one of the biggest indicators of one's immaturity.

Y ty gud sir

actually, 4 years in a secondary school full of wannabes, act-cutes and poseurs is enough to make you realise that. IF, that is, you have a sufficiently good ability to comprehend your surroundings.
