What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Emma Chamberlain? 

Probably her wildly successful YouTube channel that shook the industry, her burgeoning coffee company or her abundantly relatable podcast. If you’ve been on the Internet lately, you would know that these are just a few accolades of the 20-year-old Youtuber. And let’s not forget her iconic Met Gala debut that had us all mesmerised.

Lauded as the it-girl of the Internet, Emma’s approach to fashion is the epitome of laid-back, comfortable style that's a symphony of late '90s and early 2000's fashion. Despite repping big labels like Louis Vuitton, which she's been the ambassador of since 2019, her trendy and effortless style has made her one of the biggest Gen Z fashion influencers (she's the reason I got loafers). Who would have thought flared yoga pants or sweatpants would look so chic until Emma wore them?

We round up eight of her outfits you can recreate, and pieces to cop, for the unpredictable (but mostly hot) weather in Singapore.

#1: Mom shorts and loafers

1/34

If you’ve been trying to figure out how to pull off mom shorts, take a page out of Emma’s book with a sleeveless crop and loafers (which are all the rage right now FYI) for a day out in the park or window-shopping along Orchard.

#2: Halter top and maxi skirt

5/34

Halter tops are back in style, and Emma sure knows how to rock them. Pair this floral halter top with a maxi skirt and some sunnies for an effortless 2000s-inspired summer look.

#3: Basic white top and cargo shorts

8/34

It seems that Emma has decreed that denim cargo shorts are a wardrobe must-have and we could not agree more. She’s been spotted wearing them on various occasions, and this look is perfect for a humid day in Singapore. What’s great is it goes with any shoe, from sneakers to even furry slides.

#4: Checkered pants and sleeveless top

11/34

It’s not plaid or gingham, it’s checkerboard. This print has become so popular that people are even incorporating it into their home decor. Embrace this summer trend like Emma with a simple top and neutral high-waisted checkered jeans for a great brunch outfit.

#5: Retro print and mini skirt

14/34

We think the prints inspired by the '60s and '70s are perfect in times like these (or any time for that matter). There’s something about bright colours and vibrant prints that give us a sense of euphoria and optimism. These prints immediately inject retro nostalgia into any look. Throw in a denim mini skirt for a modern twist, like how Emma does it.

#6: Floral top and straight-cut jeans

18/34

Any wardrobe could use a little flower power. If you’re unsure how to work it into your outfit, pair your floral print with basic bottoms like denim or a base colour from the floral piece. Top it off with a bucket hat for extra sun protection and you’re all set to beat the heat.

#7: Basic tee and jeans

22/34

This is a great everyday look for anything -- coffee run, meeting up with friends or a lunch date. The best part is, you can accessorise it however you like: with a cap, some jewellery or sunglasses.

#8: Baby tee and mini skirt

25/34

This outfit screams Y2K with the mini skirt and skin-tight baby tee. The shrunken t-shirt was a big thing in the '90s, with celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Rachel from Friends sporting them often. We're glad that this trend is back and bigger than ever, so go dig up your tiny tees or recreate with these pieces.

#9: Flared pants

28/34

It won’t be a guide to dress like Emma if we didn’t include this look with her in fiery red flared pants. We know three-quarter sleeves might be a thing of the past, but we’re obsessed with this boat neckline top that provides ample coverage for those intensely air conditioned shopping centres, yet shows just enough skin.

#10: Mesh top and corduroy pants

32/34

Mesh tops have been growing in popularity in recent years, having been spotted on various celebrities like Kendall Jenner. We love how Emma wears this trend, pairing a psychedelic skin-tight top with bell bottom corduroy pants. Perfect for a dinner or museum date, and as Emma would say, obsessed.
