Singapore’s weather has been insufferably hot (and wet). For months we’ve skipped over jackets and cardigans in favour of lighter pieces — and athleisure fits right in with our need to keep cool and stay comfortable, while being stylish, of course. We’ve picked out our favourite workout style accessories, which are modelled here by Becca, with everything sourced and photographed on location at Plaza Singapura; including pieces from popular brands like ASICS, Uniqlo, Muji, Ray-Ban, ORIS, Garmin, Samsung, and more. Take a trip down to the mall, get inspired, and add these pieces to your daily wear.

Shot on location at PLAZA SINGAPURA, 68 Orchard Road,
opens 10am-10pm
It was a rainy day, so we headed into the mall and started our shoot at Muji Cafe&Meal (#01-10 to 17). The cafe opens at 1130am and gets crowded really quickly. If you plan to have lunch here (and you should, everything’s delicious), go early and try a refreshing Iced Matcha Latte like Becca.
Becca holds the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 phone that’s just perfect for a lifestyle on-the-go. It’s compact and easy to use. On her wrist is the ORIS Aquis Date watch that has a unique face made from recycled seashells. This watch is water-resistant up to 300m and has a scratch-proof sapphire crystal glass that will take the brunt of everyday wear.
Featured with Becca:
—Muji Iced Matcha Latte, $6.50
—SAMSUNG Galaxy Z Flip5 smartphone, from $1,498
—ORIS Aquis Date watch, $3,200
Our best moment of the day was when we paid a visit to the Gashapon Bandai Official Shop (#03-05). This outlet has 224 machines featuring collectibles from One Piece, Saint Seiya, Gundam, Demon Slayer, Crayon Shin-Chan and of course, Pokemon!
Featured on Becca:
—Ray-Ban Kiliane RB4395 sunglasses in transparent violet, $249 for non-polarised lens

The sleek running shoe on Becca is part of ASICS’ ANNIVERSARY Pack and pays homage to 30 years of the brand’s iconic GEL-KAYANO™ series. This edition is made with comfortable soft touch materials, a 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ that helps provide adaptive stability, a midsole with FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, a 4mm stack height increase, and approximately 20% bio-based content. It’s bouncy and comfy, and this colourway will match any outfit you throw at it.
Also recently launched is the Garmin Venu 3 series of smartwatches (above left). These watches have a new advanced GPS system, and aim to improve sleep quality with the Sleep Coach feature. Sleep Coach automatically tracks sleep and nap times, and recommends the optimal duration and timings for the best quality sleep ever. Other functions include Meditation activity, Wheelchair mode, Morning report and built-in speaker and microphone for calls. On the right is the Garmin Vivomove Trend in Peach/Gold ($439) that will also help you get to know your body better by keeping an eye on stress, sleep, energy levels and more (through the Garmin Connect App).

Nobody likes that after-lunch food smell in their hair; we indulge ourselves with CHANEL’s latest scent, Chance Eau Fraiche, that is available in a convenient hair mist and a portable bottle size of 35ml. You can find CHANEL’s Ephemeral Fragrance & Beauty Boutique at level 1 in Plaza Singapura.
Also at level 1 is the ORIS boutique where you can check out this ORIS x Bracenet Aquis Date watch. The watch face is crafted from fish nets sourced and recycled from the ocean, so every watch face is unique.
It’s also not a day out without a good pair of earbuds and a large tote to put your work and gym stuff in. Uniqlo’s Utility 2Way bag can be carried in hand like a tote, or slung over the shoulders like a backpack.

Here’s Becca ending the day with Okashi Gaku’s viral Cake-In-A-Can. This canned cake vending machine concept is available in Plaza Singapura, and currently located next to Uniqlo at Level 3. Popular flavours like Strawberry Shortcake sell out quickly, so check the machine often to see what’s in stock.
