Follow the trend

FASHION trends are always changing. Sometimes they change so fast that by the time a blouse leaves the boutique and gets into your cupboard, it’s already passe.

So what’s a fashionista on a budget to do? Take advantage of the Great Singapore Sale.

This is the time to indulge in all things trendy.

Buy the trendiest clothes you can find, and when the trend tanks, it won’t break your heart.

Here are three trends for these few months and how you can get them, with items on sale now.

 

SPORTWEAR
Hoodies, sweats and sportswear are all over the runway now.

Project Runway judge Michael Kors and bad boy of fashion John Galliano are two who have embraced this look for the season.

We found a tennis dress from Puma.

Dress it up this way: Consider brightly coloured sneakers and keep accessories simple.

â–  White tennis dress $69, from Puma. 20 per cent discount; additional 15 per cent for UOB card users.

JEANS AND TEE
You can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a tiny top, especially if you team the outfit with killer heels.

Skinny is always good (although the less fitting boyfriend jeans are hot now).

Just be sure your top is slim fitting.

This gives you a chic silhouette.

At Just Cavalli (at Forum Galleria), take advantage of the discount and make sure you pay with your MasterCard to take part in the SPH Shop&Win contest.

â–  Black top ($289), jeans ($1,259) and clutch ($599) from Just Cavalli, Forum Galleria. Top and jeans half price, clutch 30 per cent off.

ASYMMETRIC NECKLINES
Unusual necklines are all the rage now. The more unusual, the hotter it is.

This version cames from Australian designer Jayson Brunsdon, the hit of Rosemount Australian FashionWeek 2009.

His new collection will only arrive in July, but you can get this dress (right) – called the Viola – at a10 per cent discount.

â–  Viola Dress in charcoal, $388, from Jayson Brunsdon, #02-46,Wisma Atria Singapore. 10 per cent discount
