There’s no such thing as wrapping yourself up like a huge dumpling in fall/winter! All right, so there’s no fall or winter in Singapore but this season’s fall/winter weather-friendly trends is not pocket-draining nor too complicated to catch on.
A few entries ago, I talked about monochrome pairing - this season’s comeback kid. Same picture as reference point, (very) subtle revelation is something to pick up this season. (Actually I think it’s good for any season!) My black sillk blouse from BEBE (acquired circa 2006), sports a longish keyhole that runs from collar bone down the chest, and stops promptly at the breast bone. I can still still my plunge-neck bra! The top half is semi-translucent thin veil of silk while the bottom half, opaque black silk. No wonder they call this peek-a-boo.
Such ‘reveal-and-conceal’ top is best made of lightweight material such silk, chiffon or organza.
Vogue suggests that classic sheer shade is black, but navy blue and forest green make good alternatives too. And if the keyhole is right smack at your breast bone, no visible bra please!
