With its green parks, sea vistas and charming cafés, Singaporeʼs East Coast is all about laidback tropical vibes. Wondering where to shop in Singapore for that ‘East Coast chic’ look? Here, KARA BENSLEY, founder of Joo Chiat boutique The Wyld Shop styles two fabulous outfits-of-the-day (OOTD) that will see you through exploring the best spots in the neighbourhood – and all around Singapore – in style!
OOTD #1: Coastal Cutie
“Be ready for a carefree day kitted up in a versatile and stylish look that seamlessly transitions from a cosy café to a breezy East Coast beach walk. Starting with one of The Wyld Shop’s bestselling Minkpink Floral Playsuits silhouettes! The exclusively designed floral print and relaxed fit make it perfect for any casual outing, blending comfort with a touch of elegance,” says Kara.
Pair this playful outfit with the new season Le Specs Tranquil Turmoil sunglasses in Rose Quartz. These chic cat-eye shades feature a translucent pink frame and soft pink mirror lenses, adding a trendy edge to your look.
“Then, complete the OOTD with our cute Mia Bucket Bag from Luulaa and some neon yellow slip-on sandals from Freedom Moses. These fun, lightweight and waterproof sandals are not only fuss-free but also lightly scented with milk and honey!
This effortlessly stylish combination ensures that you’re ready for any adventure, whether you’re sipping lattes at your favourite café, shopping at our Joo Chiat boutique or strolling along the sun-kissed shore.”
OOTD #2: Beachside Glam
“Step into endless summer fun with our MinkPink Crochet Mini Dress. It’s perfect for a day of café hopping and beach lounging. I especially love how this breezy number easily transitions from morning to evening!”
Kara suggests adding a dash of glam with a pair of Rippled Rebel Le Specs shades. They’re not just stylish but also give a feeling of retro sophistication.
“Next, slip into the playful Pearly Baebeeboo JaeDals sandals for a touch of whimsy and comfort. Don’t forget to stack up some vibrant Envet anklets for a boho-chic vibe for that perfect pop of personality.
Finally, top off the East Coast-ready OOTD with the Running Wild fan from Sista & Co. This flirty accessory keeps you effortlessly chic and cool, whether you’re enjoying a glass of bubbly or catching the ocean breeze!”
