Culture Mondays: A White Christmas

  • By Khoo Yong Hao

Another week passes and the Christmas bells are ringing with increasing clarity. If you’re hoping for a White Christmas this December, you must have missed the fact that you’re in sun-drenched Singapore. But why the wishful thinking? It’s not like the Bible even recounted snowfall during the birth of Christ; the association is due to the overwhelming success of the 1942 hit “I’m Dreaming of A White Christmas” by Bing Crosby, which claimed the title of world’s best-selling single with an estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide. While it is undoubtedly satisfying to see Orchard Road completely covered in a layer of snow, there are other ways to revel in the spirit of Christmas in full monochromatic glory.

 

Monochrome Mania

When dolling up for festivities, it is better to play safe and stick to trusty monochromes if you are unable to make up your mind. Does red match with green, or blue with yellow? Throw all those styling questions out of the window and pair that quirky outerwear with these basic, white-coloured pieces that will make every aspect of your outfit magically fall into place.

 

Purest of Them All

White also brings to mind the idea of purity, and humankind has always had an obsession with the unadulterated, especially when precious metals are involved. This week, gawk at our selection of watches crafted only from the purest of metals.

 

Untainted, Impeccable Skin

Who doesn’t want a blemish-free face that is smooth to the touch? The struggle to get a Korean complexion is real, but not anymore. Look forward to our selection of acne ridding, pore tightening products that will bring you one step closer to achieving that glowing skin free of imperfections.

 

Raw Emotion

Sometimes, a song speaks to us on a deeper level than any story can. Just ask our October’18 cover star Jon Chua JX who sang his heart out at the #MensFolio21 party. This week’s #MFMF will feature a curated list of songs that elicit raw, unfiltered emotion once the beat kicks in.
