How to steal Krystal Jung's minimalist, all-black style

Krystal Jung sported a slinky blazer dress as she explored New York City. She contrasted the structured silhouette and soft fabric of the dress with an equally sleek leather Ralph Lauren shoulder bag with gold hardware and thigh-high boots. The resulting look juxtaposes various materials to add visual interest.

The same contrast can be done with say, a satin slip dress with leather army boots or denim with a silk camisole.

Thigh-high boots might look great for the 'gram, but it really wouldn't be all that comfortable in Singapore's heat and humidity. Instead, classic lace-up ankle boots from Charles & Keith will be the stylish yet versatile pair to get you through many miles and social occasions.

It wouldn't be a stretch to conclude that we own multiple of such basic, versatile outfits like the A-line tube dress Krystal Jung wore, especially in black. To make the styling anything but boring, take a cue from Krystal’s chunky Pomellato necklace.

Whether your accessory of choice is earrings or rings, statement jewellery can instantly elevate even a simple look consisting of a bodysuit and wide-legged pants.

Treading the fine line between OTT and subtlety, the Lié Studio necklace works for both maximalists and minimalists alike. The link necklace is made with brass and comes either with gold- or silver-plating so pick your favourite and run with it.

Here, Krystal Jung wears an everyday ensemble comprising a top, blazer and tailored pants. But take a closer look and you’ll find that her blazer and trousers are both striped, with the top having finer lines than the bottoms.

Layering complementary patterns will not only ensure a cohesive look but it will also afford greater visual dynamism as compared to solid colours. Florals, polka, stripes or more, the world's your oyster when it comes to pattern choice.

Pyjamas are no longer just a fashion item for the bedroom. Accented with feathers and mother-of-pearl buttons, the Sleeper set can be dressed up with a pair of mule heels, clutch and hoop earrings for an evening date.

Undoubtedly, a little black dress is a workhorse that forms the core of any wardrobe. But instead of just picking any run-of-the-mill design, spend some time looking for styles that incorporate unique elements.

The dress Krystal Jung is wearing, for example, shines because of the chevron cut-out pattern across the chest. It calls for attention without screaming for it.
