High-waisted trousers seen on Korean actress Jung Ji-hyun are a perfect way to take a modern approach to your 9-to-5.
You can tackle this trend by doubling up on the proportion and by matching your high-waisted trousers with an equally voluminous top. The trick here is to tuck your blouse in to define your waist. You can finish this look with a statement accessory like a pair of metallic heels.

If you thought your embellished garments were only fit for the festive season, think again. At both New York and London Fashion Week, sequins reigned supreme on the SS18 runways.
“Ah Jie” made a case for long, loose fitted sequin evening gowns when she stepped out in an elegant glittery number by Ferragamo. The key to nailing this trend is to keep your statement-worthy piece to a single item.
Pair the sequined piece with wardrobe staples such as a white tee or pair of jeans. If you want to ease yourself into the sequin trend, opt for a pair of statement earrings or cute bag.

Take local actress Carrie Wong’s outfit, which consisted of a slogan tee from Pomelo paired with flared leg denim trousers from Taiwanese celebrity Sui Tang’s fashion line – this OOTD was simple yet undeniably eye-catching.
