There’s no such thing as too much blue. Case in point: this combo of baby blue pyjamas top and denim jeans.

Instead of wearing your cross-body bag as it is, the cooler alternative is to rock it as a belt bag.

Pro tip: String the bag straps across your belt hoops to keep your bag in place.

4. Pair warm tones together

There’s a reason why warm colours look good together: They’re situated right next to each other on the colour wheel. This combination of an orange trench coat and lemon yellow pants proves it.

Pro tip: Wear a red lipstick with this look for extra sass.

5. Match a girlie top with boyish pants

The juxtaposition of different clothing styles (eg a feminine blouse with a masculine bottom) creates an interesting visual effect.

Pro tip: Opt for billowy fabrics like cotton or rayon for maximum comfort.

6. Go for head-to-toe neutrals

Donning your joggers out isn’t a fashion taboo in 2020, but keep your look refined, not sloppy, with au courant accessories.

Pro tip: Pair them with a stylish clutch and sexy heels (eg Bottega Veneta’s bags and shoes) for a polished look.

9. Borrow from the boys

This ensemble is reviving our love for Gossip Girl (2007), because it reminds us of what Chuck Bass (played by Ed Westwick) and Nate Archibald (played by Chace Crawford) wore during their high-school heydays in the TV series.

Pro tip: To make this outfit wearable for our balmy climate, swop out the turtleneck for a cotton button-up shirt.

10. When in doubt, just pick black
