With the down-to-earth clutch and footwear, this toga dress is more Saturday at National Gallery Singapore followed by drinks, than Halston-disco. Acetate rayon dress, $250. Broken Heart drop rhodium earrings, $50.

Stylish buy: a denim shirt with a necktie that doubles as a chic pussy bow. Good with cropped leather pants, good with anything. Cotton polyester shirt, $150. Broken Heart drop rhodium earrings, $50.

The double-breasted jacket is back. Throw it over a tee and a pencil skirt. Throw it over jeans. Throw it over a party number. Jacket, $180. Viscose rayon pocket tee, $140. Viscose rayon/cotton skirt, $140.

The problem with a lot of shirts that have statement sleeves (puffed, ruched or extra-long): they are nice on social media and the catwalk, but not in real life. This one lets you make a statement and do stuff with your hands. Cotton shirt, $130. Cotton/viscose rayon skirt, $120. Broken Heart drop rhodium earrings, $50. Leather sandals, $230.

The new footnote for shirt-and-skirt combos: manly leather “snakeskin” slides, $180. Polyester skirt, $160.

The longer hem on one side freshens this pleated number, while the pants add an edge. Polyester dress, $200. Sloan pants, $130.

A bomber doesn’t have to be loud and bright. It can be understated and tailored, and still score. Jacket, $270. Pleated polyester midi skirt, $160.

Everyone loves the off-the-shoulder look. Why? It’s sexy without trying too hard. Polyester rayon dress, $180. Broken Heart drop rhodium earrings, $50.

Pyjama wear that’s tailored as opposed to “I rolled out of bed”. And the trenchcoat ($330) is good for our sub-zero indoor temperatures, or when you’re travelling. Polyester long-sleeved shirt, $130, and matching wide-legged pants, $150. Leather tasselled loafers, $230.

Only priced items are available at Banana Republic.
