It’s flooding one second and sunny the next. The weather here in Singapore always makes us want to dress in the most comfortable, cosy clothes – so we’re prepared for the rain. But do we have to look and feel so dreary?
We could still go for the neutral colours in our work-fits or weekend get-ups. But since it’s the New Year and spring, we say: Let’s brighten things up a little bit! Elevating our cosy-clothes look is as simple as popping on a subtle-coloured accessory or two – watches, earrings, rings and necklaces.
We’re not talking about neon brights and flamboyant colours like reds and orange, but more chic shades like turquoise, lilac and touches of pink. These are way more classy and sleek, and whispers elegance while still offering a pop of mood-lifting colour.
