Go for Green
This month, we’re shining the spotlight on womenswear label Qlothè’s latest release, Arbor. Made from sustainably sourced fibres like TENCEL Lyocell and ProViscose, the collection consists of easy-to-wear basics and flowy dresses in a mix of terracotta, navy and mustard tones.

Danish Style
We’ve got our eye on Danish fashion brand Dea Kudibal’s dreamy designs, which feature pretty prints in cool colours and flattering silhouettes. Suitable for multiple occasions, from beach holidays to dressier dinner dates, the pieces are made from a luxurious Chinese silk fabric that’s also machine-washable.
Pretty in Pink
Amp up your street style with these kicks ($139) from Mark Nason X Skechers. Featuring an upgraded midsole with added comfort cushioning and height, these Modern Joggers 2.0 are a step up from the brand’s original release. Available at Bugis Junction, VivoCity and Jewel Changi Airport.
