Patch Up

Reach into the back of your closet and fish out those old backpacks. It is time to give them a new life with cool iron-on patches. Opt for military insignias, cool logos or even sew on odd pieces of denim. One can never be too old for craftwork. Get busy! Photo: Instagram/@streetper

Slip It On

Break convention and wear the slip-dress as a layering piece this time round. Layer it over a vintage t-shirt for the summer and let the slip-silhouette be the cherry on top of your cashmere knits during the frosty months. Photo: Instagram/@streetper

(Over)all Layer

When one wears a jumpsuit, a boiler-suit or an overall, one becomes ready to work (and werk) to the point of slay. Do not conceit your fashion right to feel like you can run the world just because its too hot or too cold. For the former, go commando with a fitted jumpsuit (but be wary of side-boob malfunction), and for the latter wear it over all your winter layers during the cold. Photo: Instagram/@halopeoplekr

Statement Sleeves

Make a style statement with long-lined sleeves and shirt cuffs. Wear this to offset a streamlined sartorial silhouette or conversely, amplify the beguiling langour of boho-chic dressing. Photo: Instagram/@streetper

Double-up on your shirts this season and approach colour blocking differently—mix texture, prints and colours together. Here's a tip: Why don't you match a shirt with black horizontal stripes over one with black lace detailing all around? Photo: Instagram/@streetper

Urban Skirting

This is essentially a do-it-yourself peplum. Add a bit of flounce to your step by draping a skirt over flared jeans or formal trousers. Trot around town and feel like Carrie Bradshaw in her iconic tutu ensemble—minus the tutu. Photo: Instagram/@halopeoplekr

Tie Me Up

Think of a tie as a necklace and as you do, stock up on delicious strings of silk or satin. Gucci-fy yourself by honing in your bow making skills or go Saint Laurent with one coil around the neck and draping it down the body. Photo: Instagram/@streetper

The Perfect Slouchy Blazer

Perfect your oh-I-just-threw-this-together-look by investing in an oversized blazer. Pay close attention to the fabrication and analyse how the material gathers as you worm around in it. The goal is to be seen as effortless and huggable, and not look like you need a lifeguard to save you from drowning in fabric. Photo: Instagram/@shootingthestyle

Preppy Re-imaginged

When it comes to looking smart in the office, detach yourself from the flock. Opt for a collarless off-shoulder shirt and pair it with a silk scarf twisted into a tie for an extra oomph. Photo: Instagram/@realstreet1
