If Singapore is known for one thing, it’s how humid and clammy our weather can get. This often leaves us feeling less than inspired to get dressed when we’re going out. Well, here’s the answer to your weekend sartorial woes: linen.
Not only does it look great, thanks to its subtle texture and structure, it’s also low-maintenance because the fabric looks great even with a few creases in it (which means less ironing needed!). It’s also known to regulate your body temperature, so you never have to worry about feeling too hot or sticky, which are two feelings that we can happily say we’d like to do without. To help you build the perfect linen wardrobe, check out our fave linen pieces here.

Looks For Your Life: Here’s How You Can Look Chic Even On Weekends
Start your weekend on a rosy note with a blush pink linen midi dress. Ground it with brown leather accessories and a simple woven basket bag.
Ditch the skinny jeans this weekend and breathe a little easier with a pair of brown linen shorts. The triple horn button on the front certainly dresses things up a bit more, and you can pair it with an oversized shirt for a cool, smart casual look.
Polka dots are great for adding a bit of fun back into your look. Our recommendation is to pair it with a blue denim skirt and some cute ballerina flats for a look that’ll take you to brunch easily.
Lend your weekends a more feminine spin with a pair of pointy kitten heels, complete with a sculpted gold heel. Just add jeans, and you’re ready to roll!
A striped dress feels like the perfect, breezy companion for those weekend days where you don’t feel like spending too much time thinking about your look.
Puffy sleeves and a slight peplum turn this simple white linen blouse into something a little dressier and more special.
Put a pop of bright colour into your weekend wardrobe with a bright emerald green top. Bonus: wear this underneath a blazer for the weekdays and no one will know it’s a sleeveless blouse!
Not only is the dark colour very slimming, it also helps camouflage the creases in your linen dress, so no one will know if you grab it off the laundry line before heading out.
A frilly mini skirt automatically adds a little razzle dazzle to a casual outfit. Plus, this is great for top-heavy women, as the ruffles help balance out your shoulders or bust.
For those impromptu date nights or gathering with your closest girl friends, throw on this dusty olive playsuit and you’re ready to go.
