The Singapore Women’s Weekly is the Official Fashion Magazine for Diva Channel’s How Do I Look Asia Season 2. Since we’ve got direct access to the exuberant host Jeannie Mai, we thought we’d tap on her styling skills and ask her what a woman needs for effortless style. Here, Jeannie shares her fashion essentials for the office.
Skinny trouser pants are the working woman’s must-have. “It helps to lengthen legs,” says the 37-year-old TV personality and celebrity stylist.
Pants, $329, from Topshop Unique.
When travelling, pack things that are functional. “I love bringing Melissa shoes with me because they’re so comfortable and they smell so great!”
Ultragirl + Alice shoes, $165, from Melissa.
f you’re building your work wardrobe, start with pencil skirts, as they’re the most figure-flattering style. For variety, choose colour. “I like to fill my wardrobe with colour – it’s me!
Jacquard dress, $329, from Jack Wills and Lace pencil skirt, $69.90, from Zara.
“There’s a difference between walking and standing heels, so when I’m out and about, I go for platforms or block heels so I can walk around longer.”

Get a few colourful scarves. “They serve as a great accessory or something to keep you warm in the office.”
Scarf, $108 from Karen Millen
When shopping, look for fit. Jeannie says, “Even if it’s a T-shirt that fits perfectly, gives me a good amount of cleavage or covers my tummy really well, I’ll buy it.”
Flecked cotton-blend t-shirt, $15.90 from Mango
Belts accentuate your waist and create a sexy hourglass figure. Look for a variety – skinny and wide belts, as well as statement-making ones like this leather obi.
Belt, $108, from BCBGMAXAZRIA.
