You mean .... like these?

Why all the kampung pix? yuck! only triplex came up with good pix of urban kids of KL.

I go to mamak wearing baju Melayu and kain pelikat

yuck!

Good for you ...

Me too, especially during this fasting month, after tarawikh prayer, go lepak at mamak stall until 2 am.

It is really common to see people wearing clothes like saris, kain pelekat and even cheongsam in KL, even in shopping complexes like KLCC.......but most them old people lar....

most malaysian r not fashion concious.. they prefer being low profile than being outstanding(we r shy people) .. but still u can find many many stylo boys n gals at places like klcc...(cuci mata)

perhaps people from my generation are not fashion conscious...but if u have brothers and sisters in secondary schools...u'll find them spending more money on clothes than on their handphones...

i spend more on my car... but i love evisu and puma alexender mcqueen...

nice shoes..

I am satisfied if the clothes I wear fit my body ...but when I arrived down under....I am spoiled for choice....everything fits...I say thankya big big to Australia's fast food industry and the millions of Aussies who gorge on them...

what do u guys think about gothic
did anyone have any pitures of gothic to be shown

Errr......I dun think there are Goths in Malaysia but there is a Goth in my Maths lecture class and I sure dun wanna see such faces on Malaysian streets.....

Why the fu-k yuck? That's tradition! Do you want that to be taken away? Man seriously you act like a freaking teenager that doesn't care about traditions and always look up on modernity.

i saw some goth gals around.. in jb, kch, kl.. but haven't got chance to take their pics yet.. they're not as extreme as the japanese goth though.. so far only chinese girls.. nice scenes..






yuck isn't appropriate term to be used indeed.. but traditional clothes isn't relevant to the modern lifestyle.. for some, yes but don't pretend that u wear baju melayu all the time!.. u don't need baju melayu to be more melayu than other people..

Glad to see the younger females are not wearing the traditional islamic headdress. Whats the Malaysian custom for that sort of thing? Is it looked down upon?

i have mixed feelings about this.. it is certainly not looked down upon.. nevertheless, in the malay community roughly see a girl wearing 'tudung' as nice, humble and polite.. but that's not really correct.. u can't judge the book by its cover..

I agree, the quiet ones are almost always the freaky one.

It went something like this .... 3 out of 7 Muslim Malay women don't wear headdress (or tudung - as we called it here).

One way or another, we treat 'em the same as other Muslim women who wear headress.

In Malaysia, most Muslim girls often found wearing jeans, t-shirts together with head-coverings. Its normal. However, in KL, anything goes ....

girls who wear tudung with fit short baby t-shirt r pathetic.. doesn't make sense at all.. better don't wear tudung.. i guess most free hair muslim girls think that they will wear tudung when they get old..

The thread isn't about modern lifestyle, it's about street fashion. Traditional clothes can be used as street fashion, you don't really have to wear the whole baju melayu, just the clothes and the pants. I think they're fine and cozy.

Whoever makes a modern, cool and hip incarnation of traditional Malay clothing(including Indonesia and the Philippines) can potentially make alot of money. Fashion, especially international, always changes and loves anything new and I don't think they have done Malay inspired trends yet. They've done boho(Gypsy inspired), some Chinese and some Japanese, and African but no Malayans yet.

I'm not sure about the way it is in KL or other areas in Semenanjung, but here in Kuching and Miri the surfer apparel is currently the 'in'-thing for casual wear. Like Bodyglove, Oreef, Roxy, Quiksilver... you get what I mean. Actually this observation wasn't made by me - it came from Freddy, a Canadian who came during Hari Gawai in July. He also told me that he noticed that Malaysians don't seem to wear sunglasses/shades that much and that the clothes in Malaysia are so different than in Canada...according to him the clothes here are much more colourful and it kinda makes him feel intimidated because he thinks he isn't wearing good enough. Was kinda surprised at how I didn't seem to notice those things..especially the surfer apparel part.

In Sibu I see a lot of Ah Lians and Ah Bengs, though.

1. I thought this thread is a bout street fashion. Not modern trend or what urban kids suppose to look like.
2. "Yuck" is not an appropriate expression towards traditional clothes.
3. Headdresses, for muslim woman are not traditional. Its a must for a muslim woman to wear. Its not Malaysian custom or anything. In Islam (for woman), not wearing a headdress is a sin. How can u talk highly about Malaysian dressing @ trend if u don't even know the basic purpose of a muslim headdress, which can be seen all over Malaysia?

at last it made some sense some sense, tq Anne

any similarity to any malaysian street fashion?
