Dress for comfort or dress to impress?

I'm quite observant in the sense that I enjoy watching people and how they dress to achieve a desired look. Be it on the street, in the shopping mall or at a wedding reception, our fellow Malaysian sure know how to dress up and be fashionable. I noticed that even girls with hijab have started to become trendy, experimenting fashion and various hijab styles. That being said, a question popped in my mind. I would like to ask you fellow readers, do you dress for comfort (very important) or do you dress to impress? 

Say skinny jeans. I guess it is the it thing in being fashionable. From what I can tell, skinny jeans are very tight and looks uncomfortable. But still, ladies are so in love with it and it is being considered as a must-have item in the wardrobe. Pardon me, I do not have the slightest intention to say anything bad about skinny jeans, I'm only sharing my opinions. Most women always wanted to wear something that will make them stand out from the rest. And so to some people, comfort comes second. Anything that will make them look slimmer, taller, will always do. Right?


Seeing comfort in this kind of super high heels? Please girls, be nice to your ankle. You don't have to hurt yourself.

Most ladies would prefer skinny jeans because it'll make the legs appear slimmer, longer. Does it feel comfortable in this? I don't know, never wear one.

Oh Lady G. Your fashion sense is soooo out of the box. I have no idea where to start. Nevermind.

I am a strong believer of comfort comes first. Anything that feels comfortable on me, I'll put it on. Nevertheless, I still believe that ladies can be comfortably-fashionable. Simple example, wearing flat ballet will make you look oh-so-sweet. I love seeing ladies in flat shoes. Hehehehe.


Wear a white long maxi with these cutie. Trust me, you will look so so so adorable.

Another thing that comes to my mind when talking about being fashionable is your intention (niat). In Islam, we are encouraged to be modest in everything. Not more, not less. I know we all ladies, always have the temptation to wear fancy clothes, expensive shoes, designer's handbags etc. just to satisfy our fashion needs. But come to think of it, to whom are we dressed to impress? Friends? Men? Don't you think that will eventually makes us too proud of our own self? I used to be very shopaholics. I buy, buy and keep on buying. However, I am gradually trying to keep it low, buy less, and try to be satisfy with whatever I have now. I'm trying to be modest and as simple as I can be, just to ensure that I won't be too proud of myself. I wanna be average. What about you?

  1. For someone who wears both, I would say some skinny jeans and high heels are not comfortable to be worn.

    But with the technology and knowledge we have today, one may choose comfort/fashion. There are more comfortable material used to make skinny jeans nowadays (and I'm not talking about tights/leggings) for everyone to choose.

    High heels are pain in the arse but can be balanced if they have slightly higher sole at the front, which they call platform. Thus, balancing the wearer, lessen the hurt. A great insole is also important - have to be cushioned and padded.

    Curvy or a shoe needs to have an arch in its design, just as the shape of our feet - to support it.

    HTH :D

  2. Oh, before I forget. Not all flat shoes are comfortable/suitable either. As mentioned earlier, could be due to design/material.

    Choose wisely!
