Tee-shirts, shorts and flip-flops - a sign of disrespect?

  Chanced upon this in the papers a while ago... I thought it's kinda interesting.

  A number of people who responded claimed that going places in tee-shirts, shorts and flip-flops means you aren't according people the proper respect.

  Yet, I wonder.. how do these people define 'respect'?

  Anyone care to share your view with me?

  it depends on where you go..

  don't tell me you attend wedding dinners with t-shirts, shorts & slippers..

  my gf says i look too slack with my berms, tshirt and sandals. she always make noise.
  
  even go singapore flyer, she say must wear buttoned shirt and jeans. if not i wear tshirt and jeans... she complain complain complain...
  
  that's why she is now... the EX.
  
  i prefer to be comfortable over the weekends after dressing up throughout the week for work/sch.
  
  but at least i dont go orchard in berms. but if i'm from a hockey game or what.. lan lan wear berms lor.
  
  i do get better service from sales personnel once i dress up. but i dont care.
  
  i'm confident with how comfortable i am. :)
  
  if angmoh can wear tshirt, berms, sandals board aeroplane... what's wrong?

  ya, i agreed with you, singapore style mah, some wear damn classy but no money inside, some drive merc, live bungalow, just wear slipper and t shirt can liao. U dun need to hv respect in the public, once u show that you have the purchasing power, u got your respect that even a well coated sale guy can kneel down in front of me to fit my slipper wearing foot with a lady valentino signatory shoe if i wanted to buy.
