One-piece

3/11

Here’s another one for you if putting together an #OOTD just makes you pull your hair out. Overalls and jumpsuits are the way to go, need we say more? It’s definitely worth investing in one-piece items that already do all the work for you. Jeanette Aw looks incredibly put together in a fitting crisp blue jumpsuit, as well as in an overalls with a whimsical geometric print.

Cap

4/11

Caps are a staple for celebs to stay low profile when they’re off-duty, and they’re perfect for us mortals to channel the couldn’t-care-less vibe. The accessory can switch things up by amping up the grunge factor, or adding a dose of sporty vibe to an otherwise plain graphic-tee-and-denim-shorts combo. Oh, and of course, they help to hide those unsightly or greasy roots!

Off-shoulder top

5/11

What’s a weekend look without a dainty off-shoulder top? Go ahead and show off your beautiful décolletage. Most of us wear it as is or with a choker, but we love Julie Tan’s adventurous choice of a thin scarf – that final flourish is all you need to set yourself apart.

Shades

6/11

We could always do with some “shady” business. Sunglasses are not just essential for protecting our eyes, they instantly make us look cooler and give us a confidence boost to step out of the house bare faced. Ah Jie Fann Wong shows us how to do it, looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses (literally), and rocking a pair of funky cat eye shades on another occasion.

Pullover

7/11

When you’re off-duty, comfort is the keyword, and the first item that comes to mind is a slouchy pullover. Supermodel Liu Wen looks on point even when she’s not on the runway, thanks to her unique pullover choices, like a multicoloured knit with big stars stamped on it.

Bandana

8/11

Another lesson to be learnt from a supermodel: Go bananas over bandanas. Use this oft-neglected accessory to complement your outfit or add a bold pop of colour for a trendy yet laidback feel. And did we mention it’s the best way to put “Messy hair, don’t care” into practice?

Sneakers

9/11

The last thing you’ll want on your off day is to be tottering around in sky-high heels. Being out and about will be a breeze with your trusty kicks that go with pretty much anything, from a skirt to jeans.

Ripped jeans

10/11

Ripped jeans (together with a white shirt) are the number one go-to for celebs, and it’s no wonder why – jeans are perfect if you don’t want to look overly casual, and the ripped detail adds a dose of character. It’s the epitome of being fashion forward without coming across as trying too hard.

Loose dress

11/11

No one wants to struggle with an unforgiving bodycon dress when they’re on a well-deserved break. So eat to your heart’s content in a fuss-free loose fitting dress! But that doesn’t mean your getup has to be boring – Huang Biren shows us how to rock the minimal style with a turquoise necklace that’s a fun accent to her outfit.
