To this day, I can still remember the first time that I walked into a Topshop. It was 2004 in sunny Singapore, and they had just opened their flagship store on Orchard Road. Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’ came blasting through the ceiling speakers, as I ran my fingers through their spring / summer selection. At the time, I barely had a grip on the concepts of style and fashion, but I picked a cut-out sleeveless black blouse that I still own to this day.

The A-Line Skirt
This design is a classic that can’t go wrong. With its first introduction in the 60’s, the mod-style skirt transcends the decades to become a staple to every woman’s wardrobe. Pro tip: when you’re looking to invest in a utility skirt, there has to be a unique element that makes it stand out beyond the rest.

The High-waist Trousers
Comfortable High-waisted pants, a seemingly clever oxymoron as true as a Civil War. That is… until you meet these pale blue trousers.

On Tuesdays, we wear Turtlenecks. Just kidding, but seriously nothing defines a utility item better than a well designed basic. And I’m not talking about that particular pumpkin-spice-latté kind of basic (yes, the season is already approaching). I’m talking about a high quality, comfortable and truly ageless piece. THE UTILITY: I cannot express with words the immediate sophistication this top will bring. The fabric creates a form-fitted silhouette with clean tailored lines and automatically elongates the torso. Just watch, once you slip this piece on, you’ll be wearing endless combinations throughout the seasons and years. Featured: T by Alexander Wang / Ribbed wool turtleneck…
