SHENTONISTA

We remember a time, maybe just a few years ago, when wearing sports shoes and trainers was deemed 'uncool' and left to the legions of town-traipsing tourists who couldn't care less about what they wore, as long as they got their photo of the Merlion. What changed?

Allysha works in fashion, and says she can’t imagine herself doing anything else, although she says she might become a teacher one day.

We love how Fiona’s all colour-coordinated — her shoes match her blouse, which in turn highlights her blue eyes, and she agrees that turquoise is one of her favourite colours to wear.

Winnie dresses up a plain top with slim-fit pants and a camel-coloured vest to create a look that is both professional and not so run of the mill.

Michelle is one of the founders of The Gentleman’s Press, a letterpress company that specialises in crafting custom-made prints with old-fashioned machinery.

Fey says that she only wears colour on certain days, however; today was just one of those days that she felt like wearing red.

Kas says that he aspires to live his life as simple and non-stress-related as possible, and tends not to look up to people for style inspiration or as role models.

Not as casual as a t-shirt dress, and not as formal as a form-fitting number, the shirt dress is something that you can easily throw on when you're rushing out the door, or for relying on on days when you're completely uninspired.

Workwear, for Doreen, isn’t very formal or strict, although she says she’d love to see more ladies embracing trousers in their office ensembles.

Working in an agency means that Amadea doesn’t have a strict dress code to adhere to, but she still makes sure that she looks professional.

Dahlia works in advertising, and this allows her to dress pretty casually for work unless she has client meetings to attend.

Valerie dresses for comfort when she goes to work, and advises others to do the same.
