S'poreans often cite the warm and humid weather for them dressing sloppily when out and about. Even though it is possible to dress in fashionable summer tops and bottoms (without layering) paired with casual footwear, many people do not give a second thought to leaving their homes in torn and faded T-shirts, tank tops, shorts and slippers. Why do locals not take more pride in their appearance when going outdoors?  

Because we are not superficial we are practical and efficient. We are confident and dun give a fugg what others think

[EvertonDiehard]

Don't said Locals, cannot make it. Sometimes come fashion you can also buy branded like those Ah bengs end of the day wearing it don't have that " look " like wise for Rich people, not every rich people wear own branded look more charming whatever , which fashion models carry with it.

Dressing fashionably has absolutely nothing to do with wearing branded clothing.

Why is there a need to be fashionable?

It is like asking why is there a need to shower, brush our teeth and not leave home in our underwear?

It is like asking why is there a need to shower, brush our teeth and not leave home in our underwear?

Taking a shower is for hygiene 
Brushing our teeth is to keep our teeth from decaying and bad breath
Not leaving home in our underwear because we need to be civilized 

So whats the purpose of being fashionable?

We have been taught from young to do our best in everything we do. This means to study to the best of our ability, which should also extend to work, dressing, general behaviour etc. Dressing fashionably means making the effort to look our best. It has nothing to do with wearing branded, formal or expensive clothing.

My hair short so no need to comb. Btw, being neat does not need to be fashionable.

Being fashionable may just mean dressing trendy or up to date or even in an acceptable way. It is a rather general term.

I have no intention to carry on with a discussion that has no ending in sight. We both have opinions on dressing, but I never tried to impose mine on anyone else. I merely asked why some residents of S'pore (not just S'poreans) do not make a greater effort to dress up when leaving their homes. Do they only do so when there is a dress code imposed on them for the office, NS ICT, wedding, church etc.?

Maybe these people have self-confidence without the need to be fashionable. Or, no need to be fashionable to feel good about themselves nor the need to be seen fashionable by others.

That is another possibility. I have, on occasions in the past, driven to the wet market immediately after getting up from bed w/o changing clothes or taking a shower. However, I did at least brush my teeth. I didn't feel comfortable doing so as I felt that I didn't make an effort to look presentable, so I shower and change to presentable looking clothing and footwear before going out even to the wet market or hawker centre nowadays.

Dressing fashionably or stylishly are general terms for a person who just looks neat, presentable and appropriately dressed.
