For those of us who want to buy into the design and quality of luxury fashion but just can’t afford to splurge four-digit sums of money on style, The Outnet is our ultimate go-to shopping destination. They often release new items on their website every few days that get snagged within minutes, perfect for keeping our adrenalines on a constant high and our fingers repeatedly refreshing its webpage on our laptops and mobile phones.
If we ever needed another excuse to shop for more clothes, the numerous festive rituals that get crammed into the year end can sometimes leave us in a state of despair regarding what to put on our bodies when we need to face friends we haven’t met in several months and distant relatives whose names we sometimes can’t even remember. It’s one thing to come up with new ways to pair existing clothes, but isn’t it always just a little sweeter to buy something new?
Snuggling At Home
Marni Bow-embellished colour-block cashmere sweater, $574, Tory Burch Cotton-blend jacquard poncho $172, Marques Almeida Frayed mid-rise boyfriend jeans $174
Ever took an off day from work or school just so you sleep in a little (sometimes a lot) longer and binge on some good entertainment like a TV series you can’t keep your mind off i.e. Game of Thrones and Knightfall or a great book like Crazy Rich Asians (not that we’ve ever done it… what, have you?)? This time of year also seems to propel us into that state of mind. Why not throw on this comfy sweater from Marni, a colour blocking genius and top it off Tory Burch’s poncho to give yourself some major Tai Tai vibes. As proud wearers of boyfriend jeans almost every day, these frayed Marques Almeida versions look like it would be fun crossing our legs in them.
Out The Whole Day
Tibi Off-the-shoulder cotton-poplin shirt $164, Isabel Marant Baixa leather tapered pants $714, Anya Hindmarch Tennis Shoe Carrefour embossed leather sneakers $1,214
When the time comes to actually leave the house, it’s better to cram all important meet-ups into a day. We definitely appreciate versatility in our outfits that can transport us from daytime casual to nighttime naughty, from the heat of the Singapore weather into the cold of indoor air-conditioning. This Tibi off-shoulder top mashes the formality of a crisp white shirt and the sensuality of a woman’s shoulders. Paired with contrasting leather pants, this is one outfit that you can wear to walk into an important business conference, meet your partner’s parents in and feel at home in the Celine store. Of course, if you’re going to be walking a ton, rocking a pair of sneakers with a funky logo is a bet you can put all your money into.
At The House Party
Zimmerman Satin Jumpsuit $368, Vetements + Schott Perfecto oversized leather biker jacket $2,988, Charlotte Olympia Debbie python pumps $388
What’s a good holiday without at least one house party? Gather everyone you know under one roof and blast all the top hits of the year. Dance the night away but not without a look that will keep you looking put-together on planet earth while your brain is twerking in off in another universe with these overalls from Zimmerman that’s high-cocktail with flowy pant legs that are airy and great to dance in. If you’re in a jacket kind of mood, this Vetements biker is a great pairing piece that arms your flirty femininity with an edge that’ll make others tilt down their shades just to get a better look at you. Charlotte Olympia’s designs are far from basic, and these luxurious python embossed heels pretty much speak for themselves. If parties are jungles, then wearing these puts you at the top of the food chain.
Gifts For The Guests
Jil Sander Belle Leather Wallet $178, Jennifer Fischer Bow silver-plated ring $118, Balmain Gold-tone Cuff $510
Of course, what’s a festivity without the exchanging of gifts? Before monochrome became a thing, there was Jil Sander. This millennial pink leather coin purse is a great gift for the friend who loves a label and the practicality of a wallet that can fit into any pocket. If jewellery is what your friends prefer indulging in, this sculptural Jennifer Fischer bracelet is wonderful to pair with loads of outfits. From the way it’s made, it hits light off at every angle creating an immaculate 360-sparkle to impress anyone from every angle. Balmain makes great “warrior” pieces, and this gold cuff will definitely arm your friend to stay looking fresh while she kicks ass.
