New year, new style! Singapore clothing store The Wyld Shop is all about bold, fun and confidence-boosting fashion. Wondering what to wear in 2025? Owner KARA BENSLEY shares four styling tips to help refresh your wardrobe and inspire your next outfit. Plus, she handpicks a few looks to get you started.
What to wear in 2025 – styling tips and ideas from this Singapore clothing store
#1 Dress for yourself
True style starts with confidence, and that comes from feeling great in what you wear. “Wear whatever makes you feel good. Dress for no one but yourself!” advises Kara.
So, forget about the rules and trends. Focus on outfits that reflect your personality and bring you joy. Whether you love more classic looks like pieces from Sydney-based Staple the Label or playful statement pieces from Minkpink, dressing for yourself ensures that you always feel comfortable and radiate confidence.
#2 Navy is the new black
While black will always have a place in our hearts – and our wardrobes – Kara thinks it’s time for navy to enjoy the spotlight. “Navy is the new black, even though black is awesome! Find a key navy piece and match it with anything black, prints, denim, and of course those neutrals,” suggests Kara.
Navy pieces found at Singapore clothing store The Wyld Shop can add a touch of elegance to your look and be dressed up or down. For example, this navy matching set from Staple the Label boasts a classic streamlined silhouette and a timeless appeal that can easily take you from day to night. Pair it with some oversized earrings and strappy heels and you’re good to go.
#3 Rock your sunnies!
Here in tropical Singapore, sunglasses are our best friends. A great pair can lift your mood and add a pop of personality to your entire outfit. “Get a pair of sunnies that make you feel like a rockstar,” Kara says. “Wear them with everything, even if you think they don’t match! If you feel like a rockstar, it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing – you’ll exude confidence.”
Over at Singapore clothing store The Wyld Shop you’ll find a wide range of sunglasses from Le Specs. Whether you like vintage oversized styles or sporty, edgy frames, choose a pair that not only flatters your face shape but channels your personality, too. You’ll feel like a million bucks!
#4 Play with prints
Fashion is all about self-expression, and prints are a great way to add personality to your wardrobe – so don’t shy away from them. “Experiment with prints, come try them on – some will surprise you!” says Kara.
From gorgeous printed cheongsams from Malaysian lifestyle brand Nala (exclusively stocked in Singapore at The Wyld Shop!) to bold geometric printed dresses from Minkpink, prints can transform a simple look into something fun. Don’t be afraid to mix and match prints too. For a more subtle approach, pair a statement printed piece – think a vibrant shirt, patterned trousers, or a funky bag – with more neutral or minimalist items.
