Yes, why not? It looks cool on a shirt. And dont need a tie.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Do people still wear Mandarin collar shirts?

I was eyeing them at a sale, I just need to settle on a colour. What's the most formal setting that they can be worn in?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Yes, why not? It looks cool on a shirt. And dont need a tie. -
depends on a cut and your occasions.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:I was eyeing them at a sale, I just need to settle on a colour. What's the most formal setting that they can be worn in?
the good thing about chinese collar, it can be worn anywhere.
relaxed outing, dont need to button all the way up.
can even tuck out underneath if its a even hem.
for formal outings, from business outing, dance & wedding dinners to maybe wine appreciation events.
go for those with low chinese collar cutting instead of those high traditional cheena collar can liao.
avoid wearing it to a job interview though.
for females its okay. -
Personally, I prefer them in dark colours with a subtle material texture. preferably tailored cos then the collar & cuffs is stiffer
For guys, you are safer with light colours, white, light blue, light green or light pink. Pink is probably the most likely to make a asian guy's skin look good kinda colour.
Guys with black chinese collar shirts...I guess its only good for those party clubbers. And it takes a certain pompous vibe to carry it well. -
Lets see....there are things I need to buy in Singapore. I hope I will still be in time for the GSS.
I need a single bed with a pull out underneath. preferly those real wood like nytoh wood frame.
a ultra hard spring mattress.
a nytoh wood cabinent.
a nytoh wood work table & a office chair. -
i think you'll just miss it...
until 22 July..
but nothing much anyway if you really need stuff
my pointless extravagance would be an iPod.. but i don't have the time to go get one anytime soon

Most men dont like mandarin collar because they think it makes them look like a waiter. -
Oh, that would be added bonus.Originally posted by the Bear:no need to iron so much right?
But we do our own ironing....coz SO refused to iron my clothes.

I don't like hawaiian style shirts...too tacky.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:try those hawaiian style tuck out shirts first.

Not those patterned wans lah.Originally posted by Wanda:I don't like hawaiian style shirts...too tacky.
go for a plain design.
Once he got used to it. he may realised that he dont have to wear a belt, a tie and a business jacket can easily wears over it to make it look neat.
Especially if he gelled his hair.

talked about patterned hawaian shirts.
Does anyone remembers thos batik Silk shirts that our fathers wore when they go up genting Highlands casino? -
I did my first major damage today....spent $400+ and the items aren't even on sale...and I had to choose today 1st July of all days to spend my money!
-
mine starts after this coming week..
some books, maybe a set of Lone Wolf and Cub.. and the iPod -
Hmm... guess the only damage incurred only for my drinking session... Why GSS not include pub, clubs and etc...
-
anyone saw any sales on men's blazers?

for blazers, i still think it's best to get it tailored... ensures a good fit..Originally posted by TerenceYYK:anyone saw any sales on men's blazers?

Zara and G2000Originally posted by TerenceYYK:anyone saw any sales on men's blazers?

No lah, I only bought 3 items of makeup (eyeshadow/concealer)...most of the money was spent on make up brushes which are exobitant.
I also bought stuff from Theme and Liz Claiborne. -
i think Liz Clairborne or whatever her name is just passed on a few days ago
-
Good brushes make a difference! They are worth getting during the Isetan sale (for card members) .
I too stocked up on brushes at MAC last Thursday.Originally posted by Wanda:

You are right. She died on 27 June, at age 78.Originally posted by the Bear:i think Liz Clairborne or whatever her name is just passed on a few days ago
That's what I've been told...that good brushes are the only ones worth getting. How much is the Isetan member's discount? I'm not a member.Originally posted by choco B:Good brushes make a difference! They are worth getting during the Isetan sale (for card members) .

I'm not a member either.
From what I've heard, during the Isetan private sale, there is something like 10% rebate for cosmetics and skincare. Sometimes they have bonus vouchers on purchase.
What kind of brushes did you get, all for eye shadow?Originally posted by Wanda:That's what I've been told...that good brushes are the only ones worth getting. How much is the Isetan member's discount? I'm not a member.
