So, here's my list of wardrobe staples.
1. BASIC TANK TOPS/CAMISOLES
Starting off with basic tanks & camis of various colours.
You are always gonna need these. Whether to wear under a muscle tank if you don't wanna show skin/make a low cut dress more appropriate for school? Or even just pairing it with a pair of shorts or a cute circle skirt and a good piece of jewellery for a shopping date with your girlfriends. You can create so many different outfits from camis/tanks. MANY. Best part: these are really inexpensive. You can find camisoles at S$5/US$2.80 at Forever 21 and tank tops at S$7.90 at H&M.
2. OUTERWEAR
Again, these are very good for layering. They can be added to any simple outfit to give you a more polished look. Army jackets, leather jackets, chambray shirts, denim shirts, printed cardigans, flannels, kimonos (which btw, has been getting really "in" lately). All of those mentioned can be found easily at ASOS, Forever 21, Pacsun (they have some really cute cardis) and if you're looking for some lower-range ones, you could try at Cotton On during the Great Singapore Sale, they have good offers on cardigans (and they're fairly good quality for the price you're paying).
I know what you're thinking....How am I supposed to wear maxi skirts in a country like Singapore which pretty much experiences summer all year round?? Well, yes you still can! Just look for 100% cotton material, super soft, skirts. These are great for wearing with a basic white tee (or a flirty lace top) and sandals with your hair in a cute braid. It will not take you more than 15 minutes to put on and is great for days you're running late to meet your friends/bf. Super cute yet chic! You can find some really good quality ones at ASOS.
Also, here's a pinterest page featuring many different ways people paired their maxi skirts! :)
4. LEGGINGS & SHORTS
Leggings are the most comfy bottoms you can wear. These can be worn with any long sweaters/pullovers/tunics. You can purchase basic knit leggings at Forever 21 for S$10.
Then there's those lazy, hot summer days when you just can't be bothered to dress up or layer your clothes because it's way too hot. Well girls, those are the days you ditch your jeans and opt for shorts. Shorts can be denim or just normal cotton shorts. Nowadays, every store sells them and have different variations of them. Some with studs, others with fabric daisies stuck on them. Some high-waisted, others not. You get my point. So go out there and get yourselves a pair of your choice! One of my favourite inexpensive pair of basic shorts is from Uniqlo at just S$24.90 and has a really good fitting!
5. SKATER DRESSES
Next onto the most figure flattering dresses that come in many different materials and designs. They also make you look more curvier at the bottom if you lack in that department. These can be found in every store these days and can be dressed up with any statement necklace or just a floral kimono.
6. LLD
Many say LBDs are a staple. But for me, above a LBD, is a LLD. My Little Lace Dress. Lace dresses are so flirty yet cute. They are so versatile and can be worn for almost every occasion. A wedding, your formal presentation, dinner dates, beach picnic, shopping dates, ANYTHING. Words basically can't describe my love for LLDs.
