Stuck in a style rut and not sure how to get out? Whether you’re looking for ideas on what to wear to an event or party, for date night, a work event or a fun day out, look to some of our country’s fashion mavens for some inspiration.
But which local fashion influencers should you follow? We’re thinking of these seven ladies who’ve been consistent in their style – some of them do #OldCeline-esque minimalism, some are into ‘90s style (and for good reasons) and some make the white-tee + jeans combo look incredibly appealing. Check out the gallery below for more.

If you’re thinking that tailoring means razor-sharp um, tailoring, you might want to look at Savina’s outfit and think again. But you don’t have to think of which brands you need to purchase these boxy separates though – chances are you might already own a pair of these high-waisted palazzo pants but for the blazer, just nick them off your partner. Modernise them too with thong sandals, no stuffy loafers please.
It’s easy to be awed by everything that Yoyo Cao wears because you’d be hard pressed to disagree that this woman seriously has style. But we’re going to zoom in to something she’s wearing that’s less expected – her jewellery. It’s graphic, minimal in a very ‘90s fashion, and because there’re so many great jewellery designs from the high street to the high end, you’re able to get them at any budget.

Nicole Wong proves that you don’t have to do the old glitz-and-glam shebang when the invitation card to a party states “evening glam”. The sleeveless belted dress with a subtle thigh slit modernises the evening dress, while high-heeled ankle boots help complete the chic outfit. But the piece de resistance? A roomy but mini tote because you’re going to want to be prepared (aka your deodorant + cards + makeup is going to fit in it).
You see a bad hair day fix but we see a head wrap that elevates everything from a simple white tee + jeans combo to the most elegant of evening dresses. The latter is probably why Peggy Chang likes then so much – she can be seen wearing them even on off-days. But if you think that putting on jewellery or accessories is a quicker fix, think about the turban instead – it takes less than 30 seconds to tie.

Ashley Bei’s outfits are what we call palate cleansers – in a digital world where everybody is vying to “out-fashion” the next, it’s pleasing to see someone dress so simply. The asymmetrical cardigan, white slip tank, cropped jeans, sandals and it-bag are pieces you already might own so if there’s an influencer you can aspire to, it’s definitely Ashley.

It’s the weekend and after a week of considering what’s office appropriate, you might be tempted to slip into the bedrock of every Singaporeans’ weekend wear – the denim shorts and thong slippers. But Andrea Chong proves that acing the elevated weekend wear doesn’t require bells and whistles – all you need to do is to slip on an off-shoulder jumpsuit and pair it with strappy sandals. There, you’re ready in less than 10 minutes.
While the printed two-piece can seriously veer into Queen of England territory, Iman Fandi proves that there’s a youthful and fun way to wear it – an athletic cropped top, layered gold necklaces and a print-clashing cross body bag. You also might want to consider how bang for your buck the two-piece is – you can wear it together as an outfit but we’d prefer to separate and mix them with other ones.
