Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

singapore is a hot country.
so therefore, it makes sense for guys to wear shorts. i mean, why wear long pants when the weather is so hot? your legs will be steaming.
so since the weather is so warm, does that mean that it's ok for girls to wear spaghetti stripes?
firstly...what on earth are spaghetti stripes? can eat anot?
i don't know, but from what i've heard, they sound quite indecent, or are regarded by many to be quite indecent, or inappropriate at least.
ok fine. let me say it again
the weather is hot, you wear shorts.
not underwear.
to compare spaghetti stripes with shorts is not very reasonable because shorts are still within the boundaries of decency, at least from what i understand of other's opinion.
so therefore, unless the situation requires of it, shorts will still win pants in the area of preference.
