Extra, Extra, Post All About It

  • By Khoo Yong Hao

The iconic catchphrase is a relic of the past, often chanted by overzealous newsboys to herald the arrival of breaking news. Nowadays, the only news that matter are Instagram posts of our friends’ latest (and totally newsworthy) #OOTDs; those sneakers aren’t on the Christmas wish list anymore, they’re on of your friend’s feed. Turning green with envy isn’t going to help, so here are some eye-catching Pre-Spring’19 looks fresh off the press to one-up one’s online adversaries.

 

Monochrome fits are boring, so up the ante with Calvin Klein 205W39NYC: boxy coat in billiard green, tie-dye tank top in pink, black scuba pants with red side stripes, topped with the brand’s signature harness ankle boot in light blue. The skilful mix of vibrant and muted colours head to toe is sure to stand out from the sea of outfits written in black and white.  

 

Playing with proportions can be rewarding, and this Gucci look is sure to pique the interest of online onlookers. Featuring a floral-patterned baseball cap with matching vibrant yellow floral button-up, metal rings, an oversized tote bag, acid washed denim jeans and chunky strap-on sandals. Bigger is better, but it’s also best when paired up with appropriately placed proportions.

 

Back to colours, but this time Bottega Veneta focuses on highlighting a standout piece:  a multi-coloured checkered blazer over a matching button-up, paired with simple black trousers and yellow dress shoes. If you want to pull up to the next formal event in style, come dressed in this look to trump any tuxedo-donning foes.

 

Bold prints are the way to go when deciding on a killer outfit, and Givenchy does the job almost too well. Fans of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts movie will enjoy this silk turquoise button-up with prints of absurd mythical creatures, and its luxurious silk finishing is simply satisfying to touch.
