Layering in SG weather is madness. Yes, it's an excuse but it's a damn good one. Many 'fashionable' people from Europe or anywhere else further afield dress down when they move here. I would love to wear jackets, pullovers and coats but I'm not about to sacrifice comfort and utility just for aesthetics.

Ayden is so well-spoken and has interesting insights! Get him back for more episodes~

Ayden Sng gives me Benedict Goh vibes….. too much alike!! 😅 70s kid here😅

An interesting topic to talk about ! Good job to Ayden and Sonia chew 👍🏻

The weather plays an important role with our fashion. Also why quote NYC and Tokyo, temperate countries which have a much bigger variation in temperature/climate and with more layering to play with? Does not seem like an equal comparison on paper. Why not choose another populated city based in sub-tropical or tropical weather like Miami or Bangkok? You mostly see all fashionistas in Singapore probably have the luxury of being in indoor, air-conditioned, artificial environments. Why should these people who stay mostly indoors have a right to go at us who prefer to dress down in shorts and T-shirts because its 35 degrees Celcius outside? Just curious, are there any people here who dress themselves up even if it means sweating like they just came out of a shower?

I am very clear of my style and super confident in it. I'm one of those who wear muji and Uniqlo clothing out, and army shirt and pants at home. Haha

Congrats Sonia on clinching the Best Host/Presenter Award recently!! Rightly well deserved from the enthusiasm and good vibes from every Men’s Explained episode🎉🎉 and props to the clarity team behind the scenes too👍

Congrats on clinching the Best Host/presenter Award on the 27th Asian Awards. Ayden, u look dashing

One way of expressing how one can look different is through exercise. If you look fit and good, your face is slim, whatever you wear even the simple ones, you'd look better than the average person.

Basic tees from Club Monaco are great (not the local stores but from the US).

As a guy my mentality is well align with Ayden! Rarely i see a guy like that cause most guys too chin cai

If normal people wear his setup in the video (double denim) trust me they will sweat more than in a sauna. However, even when it comes to single layer clothing for men, people can definitely achieve a lot more than the unsaturated dullness you see everyday.

He speaks really well

Actually man also put a lot of effort in skincare nowadays, especially korean guys😎

so this miniature steamer that ayden mentioned… can drop the link here?

“I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community.” Quote from Steve Jobs who famously wore the same black turtleneck, blue jeans and New Balance sneakers every day.

A man's decision to me comes down to a few things, 1)does the shirt fit me? fit is KING 2) on what occasion does this fit in? 3)does the fabric and quality stays after putting it in the washing machine for multiple washes (dry cleaning is a hassle and a waste of money for most guys, we generally don't care unless it's a custom fit and you just have favourites that u don't want it to be damaged.) 4)SG weather is a MAJOR factor, wearing something thick while wearing something nice and sweating saltily inside is not a good feeling.

mate if i were to wear multiple layers in Singapore, you will have me in fashionable attire but drenched in sweat patches

Great episode. We want more of Ayden and we want more of Sonia! Give those 2 a talkshow or a makeover series! 😄

I feel inner qualities like character, attitude etc are much more important than external appearances.

This video is so aimed at someone I know of - no sense of style and no personal grooming (never trim nose hair and also never go dentist) 😅

Queen

Look at the countries around the Equator, everyone who lives in a tropical country looks the same with T-shirt and shorts lol

Duh...we all go to the gym so that when the latest tshirt/shorts/berms/pants that Uniqlo launches we can rock it.

I walk 300 metres to the train station already sweat, how to layer sia. I think for men, you just need a hot toned body, done deal. If you got pretty face, your body not hot, you still win.

I heard 1 famous guy in fashion said: people who really is good in fashion, you dont look at how they dressup, you look at how they dressdown

7:50 I can get ready in 30 sec to go out. Just need to wear socks and shoes. I wear same inside and outside

Most guys just need to follow few simple tips: 1. Fit is everything. Spend 80% of the times get all yr clothing fit, u r almost there. 2. Timeless neutral colors and classic pieces can create enuf combinations for most guys in most occasions. Ignore the latest trend unless u have interest in fashion and knows yr style well. Not many guys can really pull off streetwear or oversizing style but most guys will look good with timeless pieces. Rather than thirt, a well fitted polo is a better choice and etc..

Yes guys please trim your nosehair omg. Or trim all the hairs everywhere haha

I'll just ask one simple question, where else can men shop in sg to get nice clothing that is not designer? The reason why Uniqlo is the default choice is because there's just not many alternatives.

You are wearing my cap. i cant find mine, and came on youtube and surprise surprise… Ms chew

20:40 when you reveal what you really think

Ppl with the surname 'Sng' is so rare.

太帅了

Pros: - preferential treatment at work - catfishing a partner who can't look through make up Cons: - lose 20 mins a day - unapproachable - more expensive

It's better to be clean and healthy than trying to look good on the outside and everything is rotten on the inside.

I feel personally attacked by the hush puppies underwear comment 😂

I thinks it’s both sides from what I see. Guys in SG wearing Army Singlet and girls wearing oversized Acme De La Vie Tee. Total disaster.

Also singapore more collectivist society instead of individualistic so more conformity and uniformity like what they teach in sch also all same same

Weather hot - why wouldn't people dress down duh? Just wanting to look good while not being practical? Some people would but for the general population nah.

denim jacket like it's 15c outside

Lucky my son not so strawberry shortcake 😂😂😂

Singapore needs to evolve into a men’s’ fashion hub.

location drop of the hairstylist please!!

proper fitting clothes the end

If woman wear makes up not for others but for themselves, couldn’t men wear comfy clothes for themselves not for others too? Just a question

for pear shape girls, u need to bulk up the shoulders. i.e. use capsleeves, jacket/cardigan, etc. just aim for the 'hourglass' shape.

00:00:00 #aydensng

Late to this ep but lol at how people blame the weather as an excuse to be ugly aka "comfy" 🙄 Honestly I think the younger guys are more open to dressing up/personal care and styling these days. Hope that it will carry into the future, so sick of the normalizing unpresentable-ness idea in SG esp for men 💪😔

You can't really be a fashionista of you're wearing CK Jeans....in washed black denim... You can only call it you're own personal style if it is self purchased brands and not sponsored.....

If I dress like him or other male fashion icons to look good, then all that money and effort would go to waste cos within 10 mins, all that clothing is going to be soaked in sweat and whatever good-looking shape it originally had, it wouldn't still be in it. So why would I want to go to all that effort to look worse? Men with makeup? Sorry, that's not personal grooming. That's vanity. Ayden may have his points, but don't forget, he's in the media and entertainment industry, of cos he has to look good. Even the average Joe when he has to appear on tv, the studio will apply some basic makeup on him. I know, cos I've been on tv shows before. And for your wedding photoshoot, the grooms also get makeup. It's to bring out the details. But for everyday living....c'mon. Gimme a break. Pay for house, support family, support elderly parents, children's education, tuition blah blah blah....and now inflation.....already so many things so much more important to spend our limited resources on, still want to spend on men's makeup? Try telling that to a blue-collar worker making less than $3k a month. He may not even have enough to pay for regular dentist visits! A lot of the pointers brought up in this clip is very very specific to the beauty, entertainment, media and creative arts industry. The other industries......a lot of the men will probably go, "Meh."

yes to grooming, hygiene, looking and smelling clean (haircut, scent or even just deodorant, short nails) and paying attention to clothes and style. working out to look healthy. but generally no to make-up. because that's crossing the line from substance into form, and into 'vanity' zone. (exception is where if your job requires it, then that's more of substance/necessity... another exception is if you're gay - then okay, because guys are visual creatures, so if you want to find a partner then no choice.)

Some of the most boliao topics discussed on this channel.

And Prawn is a gay term. Haha Ayden, we already know you are but pls be more subtle

We men don’t have much options. Uniqlo is more promising. And the rest are meh. We men don’t have blog shop stores like woman. We don’t have lovet, editor market, love bonito and etc. He recommend to buy from specific designers? For a typical singaporean to go such extend is crazy. Siao is it. Also, cant even try the fit and so expensive. No money like celebrity.

I don’t put any perfume or deodorant. It make me feel vomit

Actually it's getting normalised that straight guys are wear makeup esp in Korea, thrs bb cream kind of makeup which gives a more natural finish!!

Time to reveal the boyfriend...sonia 😊

First of all the woman asking questions is extremely superficial in a sense where it’s about appearances and not the character that actually contributes 80% in appearances. Secondly, the guy is posing 100% of the time. I know these kind of guys too well. When shiy hits the fan, any problem arises and they are put in an uncomfortable situation, even if it’s reasonably uncomfortable, the guy will preserve his looks and reputation the most and walk away, making it about being independent rather than being a good friend, or human to others. This interview only had one agenda, to “attract” young and dumb people to believe that they have depth when it comes to fashion. Notice how none of them answered to short men, weather & fashion issues, nor provided any depth to answering these questions they raised. Every single answer and question was to bring a superficial attention to THEM

this episode felt boring, just IMO

Layered dressing in Singapore? What is he on about... dressing with layers in Singapore isn't an option for anyone with this heat. I think if he knew anything about fashion he would talk about mixing lighterweight fabrics (linen etc) and building a capsule wardrobe. Please pick a guest that actually knows what he's talking about.

U think we hustlers have time to dress up n look good? We're too busy at work. Ain't got time for that shit bro.. we dress-up only on special occasions.

What happened to your voice?

28:49 I don’t iron my clothes. I don’t care what others think.

Lol if a man were to talk about female fashion, but not vice versa??

Oral hygiene..dress well I can understand....wear make up ??? Come on lah

🚮

Boring yawn

Ayden Sng and Sonia Chew are SNOBS NO MORE MY IDOLS Life is not a bed of roses all through life we never know what tomorrow brings!!!

The truth hurts right WHY DELETE MY TRUE COMMENT?

if a person is ugly, they ugly. Dress how nice also liddat. This whole thing is bogus

People who never visited war zone Ukraine and 3rd world somalia this is how they behave
