Fashion faux-pas

An epidemic is sweeping through Singapore! We are under attack! Something has taken over the fashion sense of (otherwise well-dressed) Singaporean women!

Ok - I'm done with the alarmist exclamation marks, but I'm serious when I say that there is a new item of ladies' outerwear that has to be the fashion faux pas of the century (and we're just 5 years into it).

It's an outer-bra! It's a sweater! Behold the 'mini-cardigan'! (I came up with the name 'mini-cardigan' after careful research by me and Sa both showed that shop-owners don't know what this monstrosity is called).




This item of fashion indecision seems to have exploded onto the scene over the past few weeks, and I can't understand the point - do you wear it in case your breasts and arms (but not the rest of your upper body) feel cold? Or are you just not sure whether you need a sweater at all?

Ladies (those of you who read this), please take this as advice from a normal hot-blooded male. This piece of clothing does nothing to flatter you - neither your image, nor your taste.

All it does is to allow the makers of these cardigans hawk half the amount of processed wool / cotton for the same price or more, and double their profits.

But at least it's not this piece of fashion indecision.
