There are more ways to wear denim to work, besides putting on skinny jeans on casual Fridays. We share how the style-savvy Singapore office lady can style these new separates well.
See how Aimee Cheng Bradshaw, the Singapore contestant for Asia's Next Top Model Season 3, wears the best of these denim looks here:
The key here is to play with a mix of textures. The vest gives the usual shirt and skirt office outfit a fresher, style-savvy touch; the faux leather skirt gives the look an elegant sheen.
H&M Conscious cotton shirt, $39.90 from H&M. Denim vest, $139 from Exhibit. Kimmy J pleated faux leather skirt, $146 from SheShops. Leather heels, $250 from Steve Madden.
The denim gives a rugged feel to the flare pant style; so leave the skinny jeans at home and put these on instead. Pair it with a matching crop top and heels for added height and a more polished look.
Denim top, $89.90 and denim jeans, $129.90 from Exhibit. Metal necklace, price unavailable from H&M. Metal cuff, $19 and leather heels, $149 from Aldo.
The best way to wear denim on denim: To pair pieces of different tones of blue.
Denim jacket, $149 and Sinequanone denim top, $169 from Robinsons. Leather skirt, price unavailable from Exhibit. Leather sneakers, $290 from Ash.
You can't go wrong with these matchy separates; the versatile mid-length skirt is the right length for the office too.
Fleamadonna denim top, $570 and denim skirt, $710 from SheShops. Suede booties, $179 from Aldo. Furla Clutch, price unavailable.
To make this look more office-friendly, pick a tailored jumpsuit style that fits you well; think of it as the more casual 'suit'. Then keep the look sharp with pointed heels.
Denim jumpsuit and suede fringe bag, both price unavailable from H&M. Metal necklace, $29.90 from Topshop. Leather heels, $180 from Nine West.
Pair a chambray dress with these espadrilles we've found for a casual Friday look, if your dress code allows; or save this look for the weekend.
Jean Lauie cotton dress, $79.90 from Zalora. Denim espadrilles, $270 and leather bag, $350 from Ash. Metal cuffs, $19.90 from H&M.
