Founded in 1996 by Charles Wong and Keith Wong, local fast-fashion footwear and accessories retailer, Charles & Keith is one of the more well-renowned labels in Singapore's fashion industry. While the brand was recognised as one of the leading brands selling stylish footwear, the brand has also made a name for itself with its very own range of bags and accessories.

This National Day, show your patriotism for the nation with some of the brand's new arrivals, just like this pair of wavy strap mules in Chalk, that boasts a timeless and versatile appeal. To pair, we recommend opting for a statement piece like the Braided Chain-Handle Quilted Evening Clutch to add a pop of colour and texture to your outfit.

Founded by Kate Low in 2012, Perk by Kate was born out of the ideology to bring real lingerie, to real women. Now, the brand has launched its first multi-label lingerie store, the Perk by Kate Lingerie Studio, offering a wide array of highly raved pieces.

And when it comes to the nation's birthday, nothing screams National Day more than a red piece like this Alexis Longline Halter Convertible Padded Bralette by Perk by Kate. What we love about this particular piece is that it can be paired with a pair of jeans and a jacket, a mesh top and pantsuit, or even under a gorgeous dress. The options are endless.

For those who prefer to add to their collection of activewear pieces, you'll also be glad to know that the brand also has their luxurious athleisure line that consist of sports bras and tights, that feel buttery smooth to the touch, and are super comfortable, especially for yoga.

If you're a lover of classic and minimal pieces, local label, Klarra has got you covered. The brand has been delivering modern and versatile fashion pieces for women ever since its launch in 2014, but what sets it apart from all the other womenswear brands of the same concept is its fit commitment to focusing on "the Asian body type."

To kick start your National Day celebration, try opting for a classy ensemble with the brand's Sleeveless Tailored Dress in red. Alternatively, if you're looking for a versatile piece that you can wear over and over again, why not go for a pair of Wide Suit Trousers, that you can easily match with any top and wear for any occasion.

Homegrown label, THE FORM, is one of the few underrated labels you should look out for. Approaching fashion with intentionality, the brand aims to provide versatile pieces that are not only made for the times but can be worn in the years to come. Think — high-quality pieces that reflect a sense of effortless style and a subtle edge.

A classy wardrobe essential that you can consider adding to your collection would be this red Boat-Neck Dress. While it does look sophisticated and modest, we love how this design shows off your clavicle. For a dress that looks professional and one that will go beyond the National Day celebrations, consider the Shirt Dress with Puff Sleeves. Keep your outfit casual by pairing it with a pair of sneakers, or dial it up by pairing it with a pair of heels.

Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without Love, Bonito. The well-loved homegrown label has garnered the likes of many for good reason and there's no denying that you'll find a patriotic piece that will suit your look this National Day.

While most of our picks are great to wear when you're out and about, we've decided to add a casual piece for you to lounge in if you're staying home over the long weekend. Peep, Love, Bonito's Maddelena Contrast Piping Lounge Shirt. Featuring a relaxed fit, accented with contrast piping details, this red piece also comes with matching lounge shorts that you can match with if you're looking for a full red ensemble.

Alternatively, we also recommend that you check out the brand's new range of footwear pieces if you have yet to. They have a really great selection of shoes for you to choose from and they go well with just about any outfit, be it for the office, a picnic, you name it. Take, for instance, the Kori Slingback Strap Heels in white. Featuring a short block heel, giving you that extra boost in height, this pair is a comfortable piece that you tread comfortably in all day. It also has a minimal design that makes it a stunning piece that you can wear to work too.
