A How-to Guide Surviving "Hotumn" (Hot Autumn) In Style

We can’t believe we’re announcing this too, but the unrelenting weather has officially found its way into the fashion lexicon. Reports from NASA have confirmed 2017 to be the second hottest year ever, and as Singaporeans we can double-down on the sentiment that our country’s humidity and inconsistent weather dampens our mood to dress up every day.
“Hotumn,” as it is now being referred to, is a condition that has turned off many people from experimenting with their favourite fall trends. And while it’s nearly impossible for us to ever don insanely insulating pieces like a Vetements’ puffer coat or a Fendi fur jacket, we can nonetheless continue to look to the catwalk for inspiration and interpret those aesthetics to suit the climate of our everyday lives. We have curated a series of items representing key trends of this season from Zalora (we have a promo code, scroll all the way down!) which are affordable, and with their new express delivery service, incredibly convenient to buy online.
Remember the Primary Colours: Red, Yellow and Blue

Red Tapered Leg Trousers SGD69.90, Petite Blue Ruched Bardot Top SGD29.90, Front Pocket Cropped Hoodie SGD69.90

Throw out the idea that “an outfit can only have a maximum of three colours or you’ll look like a clown.” Colour block a look so that it packs as much punch as possible. Experiment with bold tones to liven up classic structures and stick to materials like linen, cotton and denim that are comfortable and cooling but still look fresh.
Small Bags That Are As Fun As Your Personality

Pom Pom Detail Basket Bag SGD39.90, Rosie Bug Jewel Crossbody Bag SGD63.90, Falorni Woven Hobo Shoulder Bag SGD1,560

The smaller the bag, the easier they are to manage. Plus, you don’t have to scramble through an endless pit just to extract tissue paper so that you can wipe your forehead full of sweat. And since they don’t have to conform to the weather as much, this gives you a greater opportunity to express your personal taste and style.
Don’t Get Your Boots Wet, They’re Literally Precious Jewels

Leore Boots SGD51.90, Chisel Glitter Boots SGD119.90, Glitter Sock Boots SGD89.90

Thanks to Chanel, we’re all drooling over the idea of coveting glitter boots at the moment. We’re not yet ready to invest in $1,000 in anything to be honest, but it won’t be the worst sight to be caught dead in a pair of shoes that sparkle like diamonds.
