Fashion do's & don'ts

[DawnHRD]

Was out last night & while enjoying a cocktail or 5, started people watching. I noticed a few fashion "don'ts" that have been irritating me for a while, now:
Halter tops worn with normal bras. Does anyone think this looks good?
Rather old, large women wearing strappy tops & no bra. If you're over a certain size & over a certain age, boobs sag. For both of the above, I'd recommend strapless bras
Bikini tops worn while walking through town. I don't care how good your body is, this looks tarty & is disrespectful in Thailand. Same goes for men without shirts.
Big knickers with low-rise jeans. Not a good back view when you're sat down & leaning forward!
Clothes worn 2 sizes too small (this one, needless to say is virtually always a Western fault). It doesn't make you look thinner, quite the reverse in fact.
Anyone else have some pet fashion peeves, or is it just me?

Altered tops as a result of abnormally large bras look good to me.

What is the best type of bra for my ever expanding man-boobs?

[DawnHRD]

Depends if you want to disguise them or go the katoey way!

Can I add a pet hate? Women going topless on the beach. We're in Thailand not St. Tropez

This is one example where Yanks have to be very careful with British English. Knickers I understand to be pants, per my ancestors words. In the above context it seems to be one's butt. However, knockers are boobs in amerslang. Oh what a difference one letter makes...LOL. Pete

PS: All women from all countries look slimmer wearing black. If you notice, it's a favorite color of most Thai women as well.

SOCKS WITH SANDALS the biggest NO NO ever

Just do the famous exercise of "table push away's" Jaime and no bra will be needed on your next trip to the LOS. Pete

One sock pulled up to just under the knee, while the other sock reveals an ankle ?

Wow! I can feel them perking up already!

Dr Dave,
How about socks worn with thong type flip flops? I kid you not, I've seen this a few times. Very strange!

[Randy Cornhole]

Whats with all the bandannas? and sun glasses with baseball hats at night! Have to agree socks with sandals does it for me every time. Also wife beater tops (vests) sad.

Don't:

The tiny tin shorts that are no more than underwear or the low cut bottoms with the thong sticking out are always an unpleasant sight.

Socks with sandles I often do not understand (unless it is just an open back shoe with a below the ankle sock).

I find many men have large stomachs (which is fine) but then they wear shirts that are too small and roll up above their navels.

Do:

What types of things would be "do"s? When my family and I go to the beach my husband and son wear t-shirts and a bathing suit. I wear a one piece bathing suit with a shirt and sarong.

I admit I sometimes find it difficult to balance looking well put together with being comfortable (I medically do not sweat much so I run the risk of overheating where my husband sweats like a normal farang-- too much ).

You all sound fine for the beach. Bikinis are OK on the beach, too, but should be covered up as soon as you leave!. As Holly mentioned, topless is a definite no-no, here, although you do see girls doing it. Very tacky in Thailand. Funnily enough, blokes on the beach seem to get away with being topless all the time...
