Dress Code

One.. Two.. Three..


Words from my fingertips..


It begins..


So, yeah. I mentioned before that this won't just be about feelings. I'll write random stuff too. So... Clothes. Attire. The thing that we wear to so that we don't show off our birthday suit (yes, we shouldn't show it off. Not everyone wants to see it. trust me). What's unique about clothing and attire is that, there's always an appropriate type or set of clothes for every and any occasion.


I was brought up in a family where dress code is very important. Whatever we wear must be appropriate with the situation or event that we're attending. Whenever someone visits our home, we change our attire to make sure it's presentable enough to them. And it's not for the sake of looking good, but it's discipline too. Not only this is something what my family has inculcate within me, but staying in SDAR for 5 years also showed me the importance of proper attire. I don't think that being that way is somehow a neat freak or overreacting and such. It also shows respect to the event or other people around you.


Which now brings me to my point. I honestly don't understand. A wedding reception is a beautiful and happy event. This is where the bride and groom will dress as nicely as they can to look good on their wedding day and also for their guest. The thing is, if they can do that, why can't the guest do the same? Nowdays, every time I go for a wedding reception, a lot of people are wearing jeans, t-shirt, plain collared shirt and such. For me, that is so inappropriate. Especially when you're in Malaysia, where there's a lot of cultural based formal attires that you can wear. Why can't these people take some time to put on a batik or baju melayu or baju kurung. Honestly, it's not that hard and I'm sure almost everyone have at least a pair of those type of clothes. It doesn't take much time to wear it also. It will also look much better if they do wear it.


Everyone taking an effort to look good on a special event. Won't that be wonderful? Especially when you snap a group photo. So yeah, I think that most people should take a conscience effort to adhere to proper dress code during events and try to look good as much as possible :)








Don't judge a book by it's cover. True


But nonetheless a cover leaves a big impression


And it's all up to us
