Singapore’s 55th birthday is just around the corner. While you might not be able to physically celebrate National Day at the Marina Bay Floating Platform this year, intimate gatherings with your family and loved ones are still possible.
Yes, red might seem like the obvious colour to dress in on Aug 9, but the bright shade may not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re not a fan of carmine or vermillion, opt for these 10 maxi dresses in other colourways to celebrate the nation’s birthday.
A black and white dress is one of the most versatile closet staples – you can wear it again after the festivities. Add a pop of colour to this number with either a pair of yellow mules or red sandals.
Yellow’s definitely a bold choice too. To make sure that it’s subtle, opt for something that’s pastel or muted, like this Mango piece. Give this girlie option some underground spunk by pairing it with Converse high-cut sneakers.
Complement this elegant blue version with a pair of block heels. Don’t forget to highlight your collarbone with a dainty gold necklace.
Let’s say you’re not into red, yet you’d want to make a grand entrance while celebrating our country’s 55th birthday. Our solution: Go for this number. This is bold enough to be worn alone – just slip into a pair of simple black slides and you’re good to go.
It’s definitely feminine enough for the girliest girls. However, if you’d love a sartorial challenge, dress this up with a pair of black combat boots for an extra edge.
If you’d want something that’s classic, go for a sophisticated and elegant number. This Givenchy dress checks all the boxes for being a timeless piece. Plus, it’ll look best with white pumps.
Popular to contrary belief, not all dresses have to be in pink, or white, to be considered “girlie”. Case in point: this black Cecilie Bahnsen number. This feminine option will look cute with a pair of casual kicks.
Well, we’ve said this countless times: a white dress is just as versatile as a black piece. This alabaster dress literally goes with everything, in any colour you like.
Pretend playing in Marseille (simply because we can’t travel right now) is the reason why we chose this dress. Conjure up South of France vibes by donning this with a pair of strappy sandals.
This dress is giving us Victorian-princess-wandering-around-Manosque vibes. Don’t ask us how we came up with that description. Complement its brown tones with neutral hues and gold accessories. Best worn with flats.
