Local fashion buyers seems to think that Singaporean women have a sick obsession with cap sleeves, puff sleeves and 3/4 sleeves.
And that our office wear shirts must be stripes, in either black or white, often with lurex (metallic, for the uninitiated) yarns woven into the material. And the shirts should have fussy frills and uninspiring pintucks going all over it.
And the length! Don’t even get me started on the unflattering length of the shirt. I very much prefer my shirt to be longer, and covering my belt/muffin top please.
I love my shirts and I wouldn’t consider myself to be an overtly adventurous dresser. But it’s frustrating to go shop after shop, and find the same damn style repeated over and over again. And it’s not even a "trend". It’s more like, uninspired uniform designing for the mass market.
