“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

-Coco Chanel-

Jom kembali kepada kesederhanaan. hahaha what i means here is, be simple! :)

Hey readers! i am not a big fan of any big name of fashion designer/stylish or so called pencetus dunia fashion but i do admire people on the street who wear nicely. :)

Back to the title up there, white undershirt fashion is an outfit that for me, it will make you look more masculine. Since the current situation where a lot of people out there are busy shaping their body to appear more masculine, tough, sasa, katang and sado whatever you say, membuatkan saya terpanggil to write on this fashion.

Ia sangat menyedihkan bagi saya, when you have a good shape, so called an ideal body shape yang menampakkan kekatang-an but yet you wear something just not suit you.

Actually, this white undershirt dah wujud lama dah since the day orang dulu-dulu memang tak ada paintings, illustrations or photograph untuk pakaian masa itu. Atok-atok kita dulu pun pakai white undershirt! jenama Pagoda la tapi. hiks!

For your information, white undershirt sebenarnya, digunakan was to protect the outer layer of garments from touching the body. Kita selalu guna untuk pakaian yang jarang kan? dan kadang-kadang kita guna untuk tujuan tak nak bagi nampak pakaian luar kita nampak basah dek disebabkan peluh lepas tu kalau baju baru mesti gatal-gatal kan? sebab tu kita pakai undershirt ni. plus, masa dulu-dulu regular bathing did not become du rigeur sehingga pada kurun ke 18. Mesti korang tak tahu kan?? hahahaha.

Up to the 15th century, baru la ada yang buat undershirt ni bukan sahaja sebagai pakaian dalam tetapi juga menjadi trending fashion during that era. Sebagai contoh, they began to wear at least part of their shirts exposed. Ada juga yang creative masa tu, diorang revealing collars (collar baju diangkat keatas).

Ha! yang gambar saya di atas ni, *ecehh nak inter frame jugeek* contoh la yang saya pakai undershirt dekat dalam dan saya dedahkan sedikit. Ada yang berani and confident nak tayang lebih-lebih tu pun boleh jugak la. Ini yang saya katakan tadi pasal they wear at least part of their shirts exposed. Kan nampak hensem tu. :)

Sumpah, kalau saya jumpa orang yang just wear white undershirt (correctly fitting), i offer a quick nod of support.

Banyak jenis undershirt sekarang ni, Kalau saya nak cerita satu-satu memang tak cukup ruangan la dekat sini. Contoh :

1. Undershirt fit.

Undershirt yang fit dengan your body. If you decide to wear undershirt fit, you kena make sure that fit

closely and has small armholes baru selesa.

2. sleeveless undershirt

Kalau korang guna undershirt jenis ni untuk absorb peluh korang, this style tak sesuai sangat sebab your

armpits aren't really covered,

3. crew neck and v-neck

Untuk v-neck my advise pada orang yang kurus yang sangat-sangat kurus. v-neck tak sesuai untuk anda

bagi saya. Sebab memang tak sesuai lah. ngeeee.

For men who want to keep up appearances, but do not know how. let me show you bergaya dengan undershirt.

Yang ini, u can wear outer garment jenis denim. Cool right? tapi, make sure the outer layer tu tak terlalu besar sebab nanti you nampak selekeh.

Haa... ada bran nak pakai macam ni? undershirt je, tapi digayakan dengan necklace and with that pants and boots!

viueharaa

Ok, yang ni without necklace and with black jeans kot and that shoes yang i suka gilerrr!

Yang ini, digayakan dengan blazer. Smart!

edinishak

Okeyh, for this. hurmmm i sebenarnya cari undershirt with suspender sebenarnya. but i found this picture friend of mine. just imagine, the shirt tu white undershirt and fit sikit and you wear with suspender. cool!

menfashioner

Hey, College guys.. korang pakai macam ni pun dah smart okeyh!

budakcik

This one, sesuai la, dia kena kan dengan that small flowers printed kemeja ala-ala tema ditepi pantai. kan sesuai tuhh. :)

Last, this v-neck undershirt kalau badan korang macam dia ni. sesuai la. sebab tu i cakap yang kurus kering u better not wear like this. okeyh!!!

Btw, undershirt bukan sahaja warna putih, la ni ada macam-macam warna dah. Cuma saya jatuh hati pada putih. eh!

After all, here is a man who doesn't need to wear anything more eye-catching up top than the simplest garment there is, who understands how clothes should fit, and yet doesn't need to draw a lot of attention to himself by advertising his affections for some band, a funny logo, an interesting film. This guy is his own guy. Ceeeeh!

nak check all those guy pergi insta diorang k : edinishak, budakcik, viueharaa, menfashioner, mr_smilerz

-SEPET-

As i promised before this, i wanted to talk about 'streetwear'. It is hard to define streetwear fashion since it is one of most over-changing styles in today's world even i wear it.

So what is streetwear fashion actually?

is it a culture in itself or a part of an overall encompassing culture?

Does it have to do with music?

Does it have to do with races?

So, what happening on our street now? what people wear now especially the teenage? what fashion they follow? K-Pop? Hip-Hop? Hijabista? Hipster? or Wak Doyok???

According to Erik Railton, designer of local line Troop, it's "unique, cutting-edge clothing, design that isn't mass-produced by a big label.". So, streetwear is unique and unique doesn't mean that it must be produced by a big label and not necessarily expensive.

In short, Streetwear is largely a grassroots fashion movement influenced by what happening "on the streets" and constantly evolving.

I have my own definition on streetwear fashion. to me, streetwear fashion is outfit that you wear and you DON"T HAVE TO PUT MUCH EFFORT ON IT.

Here are the general rules about streetwear:

1. Centered upon casual.

2. Comfortable pieces ( jeans, t-shirt, sneakers)

pilih yang ikut cuaca negara kita k and tengok keadaan and event.

Let me give you some example what i always wear and a few friends of mine.

I wore this when i went to cinema at night. The shirt is slightly thicker. So, sesuai lah nak keluar malam tak sejuk sangat nanti dalam cinema.

I always wear like this during a day. Simple but nice right?

I matched the outfit with sneakers. kalau perasan la. i wore black sneakers.

See. you don't have to buy something that big label pun to look nice. t-shirt is from SMK seksyen 5 Wangsa Maju.

I also have friend that agreed with me on this. But the different about both of us is, he go for big-label of shirt but me, i do mix and match. hahaha. Kadang-kadang saya pakai juga yang berjenama. Tengok yang mana selesa.

Here some photos of my friend-Ismail.
