5 jacket styles every Singapore woman should have in her wardrobe

The main fashion message that we’ve been trying to drive through this year is, “buy less, invest more”.

To help you on your way, we’ve created a series of stories featuring wardrobe staples, iconic bags and essential shoes styles that will be well worth your money in the long run.

Today, we’re focusing on the outerwear component of your closet. It’s safe to say that it’s probably the most neglected section of the wardrobe because our tropical climate doesn’t require us to don outerwear for the most part.

However, it’s still an essential part of a complete wardrobe!

Outerwear grants you the ability to layer and create visually interesting pieces, even if you’re pressed for time. 

Find out what are the five key styles you should have.

1. Blazer

This should comes as no surprise.

A black blazer can work as a key item in completing a professional business look and also serves as a quick and easy way to make a casual ensemble look more polished and well put together.

The possibilities are endless!

If you are in a mood to get something more trendy, make it the bomber jacket. We have six super cool options for you here.

2. Cardigan

Our climate here in Singapore has always been humid, so we rely on air conditioning to help us beat the heat.

However, having to shuttle in and out of sweltering outdoor heat and frosty air-conditioned interiors can makes it hard to plan our outfits.

When we expose our body to extreme temperature swings, we are also increasing the chances of getting sick.

Throwing on and off a lightweight cardigan when the temperature calls for it is a great way of keeping an even keel.

While you are at it, you should do it stylishly.

Here are 10 non #basic cardigans that will gain you a real point of difference from the rest of your friends and colleagues.

3. Denim Jacket

The denim jacket is the one item that goes with just about everything. 

Whether layered with a hoodie or worn over a flirty dress, it always looks cool.

This timeless piece has even enjoyed a resurgence on the runway in recent seasons with the aid of embellishments and oversized silhouettes.

The fashion circle embracing a huge selection of denim silhouettes in recent seasons, check out these gorgeous embellished jeans!

4. Boucle jacket

This will be your go-to jacket style when you feel like throwing on an outfit that’s more ladylike and sophisticated.

It instantly gives a touch of elegance to your ensemble and accentuates your femininity.

You can work them with little dresses, form-fitting skirts or even sleek black pants. They are perfect for a fancy day out with your girlfriends or during a special occasion with your partner.

Check out these modern day little black dresses that will go really well with a boucle jacket here.

5. Leather jacket

Yes, I hear the groans of disbelief, but hear me out!

Singapore might be too hot most of the times for a genuine leather jacket, but it’s something that you should keep an eye out on purchasing, especially when it’s on sale.

A leather jacket is a definite must-have for all the fashion girls because it’s versatile (you can wear it to work, the airport and even to the clubs) and takes your outfit from zero to hero in a split second.

There are many lightweight options available now that are suited for our climate. Frequent fliers will also know that it’s the best outerwear option when you travel to colder climates!

Get some tips on how you can wear jackets to work in our hot weather here.
