Below is an old photograph of my mom taken at the Hong Kong Ocean Park. She opted to wear a long skirt and tights to protect her from the country's climate condition. The activities she did on that particular day possibly influenced her choice of outfit. Light clothing's necessary since she wanted comfortable and casual to wear pieces; ideal for strolling around the park.
My mom's clothing essentially emulated the French style of woman's clothing. Personally, I think this classic look still has a place in today's fashion with diverse renditions, merely because it's lovely, comfortable and represented youthful enthusiasm! Below, on the other hand, is a recent photograph of my mom and I; also taken in Hong Kong.
Perceptibly, our outfits were influenced by the contemporary fashion. Akin to my mom's clothing in the former photo, these outfits are very casual. We did lots of walking and shopping hence the unfussy tops and flat boots worn over jeans. Also, we knew for a fact that April weather in Hong Kong's very pleasant, however, there are irregular spells of high humidity, fog and drizzle that can be chiefly wearisome. Accordingly, we brought jackets and blazers to protect us from the breezy weather.Indeed, the nature of new fashion and styles are impossible to predict and the rate of change between old and new is consistent. We defy moving fashions by persistently reinventing images based on our instincts, behaviors and cultures, to appear new.
