Jack (@jaag_)
Q: How would you describe your personal sense of style?
As long as my outfit makes sense to me and I am able to express myself confidently, that is all that matters. I have never liked going with the flow; the elements I use aren’t necessarily popular or in trend. Even though I sway towards monochromatic colours, I am always on a look out for new styles.
Q: If you could follow only one fashion influencer on Instagram, who would it be and why?
I rarely follow or take interests in artistes but Pharrell Williams (@pharrell) is a huge inspiration to me. He is the epitome of originality – his distinctive style is formed by a paradox of assorted influences.

Q: What are some of your best style tips?
I enjoy the versatility of fashion so the only rule I really adhere to is buying clothes that fit! Tailoring clothes to fit your unique body shape is better than clothes with generic sizes that cater to the masses.
Q: What are your thoughts on the local fashion scene and what do you hope to see more of?
We are rich in talent; I just think we can do more to go global. Fashion is more than just about dressing well, it’s time we get obsessed – study the established brands, books and magazine, there’s nothing wrong with striving for perfection.

Q: How would you describe your personal sense of style?
My sense of style is androgynous, minimalistic and timeless. I will never be caught without an outerwear or head accessory (fashionable and a lifesaver on bad hair days)! Most of the time I find myself in pants, straight legs pants are my favourite and they happen to be making a comeback this season.
Q: If you could follow only one fashion influencer on Instagram, who would it be and why?
Yoyo Cao (@yoyokulala) has a fashion forward sense of style that gives my outdated thinking and daily outfits a fresh idea and a much needed update.

Q: What are some of your best style tips?
When you’re just starting out on exploring your fashion sense, always keep a set of basic tees and neutral colours in your closet because they’re easy to match without looking too boring.
Q: What are your thoughts on the local fashion scene and what do you hope to see more of?
As Singaporeans, we should be doing more to support our local brands. Most of them are really talented and a little recognition is what they need to keep going.

Q: How would you describe your personal sense of style?
I am mostly inspired by street culture. I pick away parts of the trends and get creative with what suits my tastes.
Q: If you could follow only one fashion influencer on Instagram, who would it be and why?
I’ve been in love with A$AP Rocky since ‘Fashion Killa’! His badass sense of style has a big influence on my dressing.

Q: What are some of your best style tips?
Invest in a good pair of slim-cut sneakers like Nie Cortez or Reebok Club C 85, they’re a basic that goes with anything! Always dress to your body proportions and within your budget – style isn’t about spend a bomb on expensive brands, how you wear it is more important.
Q: What are your thoughts on the local fashion scene and what do you hope to see more of?
Our local fashion scene would benefit so much if everyone was a little more opened minded; most Singaporeans are conservative dressers because the general population is too quick to judge. Also, I hope Singaporeans would quit blaming the weather – Taipei, Seoul and Tokyo have hotter summers and they’re well-dressed regardless!
Diya (@diya_prabhakar)
Q: What are some of your best style tips?
I believe in buying basic clothing and splurging on the accessories. One bag can match with many outfits without looking mundane. Besides, people tend to notice your accessories before your clothes!
Q: If you could follow only one fashion influencer on Instagram, who would it be and why?
I love Kendall Jenner’s style! It’s simple, classy and she shows her skin like it’s a fashion statement. I feel like her fashion sense is very aligned with what I personally love to wear.
Clara (@clarahongg)
Q: How would you describe your personal sense of style?
Androgynous and oversized without looking shabby. I love a good cropped top and baggy trousers but I can’t escape my girly tendencies; When I do don dresses and skirts, I always pair them with sneakers or boots.
Q: What are your thoughts on the local fashion scene and what do you hope to see more of?
I love seeing local youths curate their own brands – The determination in getting their fashion labels out there is something I really respect. I would love to see more of the same boldness and courage in the everyday fashion scene – don’t be afraid to stand out!
Eenah (@eenahflamingo)
Q: If you could follow only one fashion influencer on Instagram, who would it be and why?
Dina Tokio (@dinatokio)! She is my fashion icon in her fashion and lifestyle – my hijab fashion takes after her.
Q: What are some of your best style tips?
Don’t diss it till you’ve tried it! I always enjoy breaking the unsaid rules on how certain patterns or textures shouldn’t be worn at the same time. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles, you’re bound to find something different that will help you shine out from the rest
