Second Skin

We might not have winter (or four seasons, at that) here in Singapore, but there’s no reason not to layer up. In fact, it’s the perfect way of dressing up a simple outfit to make it not only more office-appropriate, at times, but also to create a great look out of a mediocre one. Invest in pieces that are suitable for the weather — think thin, lightweight fabrics, jackets with shorter sleeves, or vests. Points to note — if your outerwear is the focal point of your outfit, then keep the rest of the look simple and clean. In addition, stick to the three-colour rule to make dressing up a little easier. Try experimenting with different textures and materials, and you just might surprise yourself.
