There’s no bigger fashion killjoy then picking out a cute outfit, only to take it off because it doesn’t jive with Singapore’s merciless humidity. Ines de la Fressange, the embodiment of French style, has just released her Spring Summer 2018 collection for Uniqlo. Much like how we love Uniqlo for their reliable, minimal, airy basics, La Fressange’s collection for the fashion brand imbues iconic staples with a bourgeois twist that captures the je ne sais quoi of the aspirational French woman: elegance that’s casual, it’s I woke up like this.

If you’re all French, you’ll know never to wear more than two colours at once, preferably muted ones. It’s a great mantra to build a wardrobe, really. Not only will you NEVER run the risk of becoming too much of fashion disaster on adventurous days, you’ll also always have pieces to rely on when you’re just not in the mood to choose. This striped A-Line dress cinches at the waist with a drawstring tie, a one-piece throw-on that looks flattering with anything, from white trainers to kitten heels. Otherwise, a grey sweater looks really sexy a few sizes up, tucked in jeans and rolled up naked arms. Blazers are all the rage this season, try layering this white one over a funky graphic T-shirt so show your youthful spirit even in the workplace.

If you’re the adventurous sort, colours are a great way to mix-up similar silhouettes. We’re especially drawn to primary red, it’s a pop of colour that is confidence and, frankly, super hot. Otherwise, a millennial pink cardigan once appropriate for a librarian would in 2018 make a great statement over more statement shirts like the white long-sleeve with ruffles cascading down its center. Gingham’s a great way to freshen up a normal blazer, it’s preppy; done right, you could look like an outstanding Ellen Degeneres-type, which, let’s face it, who doesn’t want to be? Speaking of not piling more than 2 colours on an outfit, this neon yellow, sky blue, wheat and black stripe sweater is one we can overlook that rule for.

1. Paper Tote Bag, $49.90
2. Paper Capeline Hat $29.90
3. Mesh Bag, $29.90
4. Paper Tote Bag, $49.90

Stock up on beachwear, because a Spring-Summer outfit isn’t complete without the right accessories to go along. Woven totes in earthy tones blend well with nature, and are the perfect bags for organic fruits, freshly plucked flowers and a Nicholas Sparks novel. We’ve seen style stars rock sun hats, and this hits the nail on the head in brim-size and colour. Otherwise, try matching with a neutral belt to show that belts don’t just go well with shoes.
Your Spring-Summer wardrobe doesn’t just have to cater to the outdoors, however. The latest INES DE LA FRESSANGE Collection for Uniqlo will include pajama sets that are lightweight, airy and, in classic Uniqlo fashion, incredibly stylish. Wear them as full sleeping suits or mix and match your tops and bottoms for the optimal in-bed sartorial statement.
The INES DE LA FRESSANGE SS18 Collection for Uniqlo launches today and the full collection is available at the UNIQLO Orchard Central store and online. Stay tuned for our full breakdown of the INES DE LA FRESSANGE Pajamas Set, coming out soon.
