City News’ Style File team goes trend-spotting for the most interesting dressers.
Crystal Lim, 18, Republic Polytechnic student
Crystal’s easy style is a combination of sport and funky. “I am wearing a black sleeveless shirt, denim hotpants and white vintage shoes. I bought my gray vest (S$5) from a shop in Jurong Point.”
“I think my fashion sense is a mix of everything. Sometimes I like it wild, sometimes girly. I take cue from how leaders around me dress — the singers on stage, my zone cell group leaders, and especially mine!”
Schumann Tong, 21, student
Schumann’s sense of style has been honed out of necessity. “Being in the choir and a backup vocalist, I usually take on the style of looking smart and bright. I read magazines and Google Japanese style icons for fashion tips!”
“I’m wearing a red checkered top (S$28) and black vest (S$20) from Bugis Street. My MEK denim jeans (S$225) are from Skin Couture, whereas my leather sneakers (S$75) are from Levi’s.”
Alvin Low, 26, Programme Executive at City Harvest Community Services Association
Alvin’s look is a cross between classic-dressy and cowboy.
“My white top (S$50) is from Jean Perrie, my gray pants (S$40) is from Graphite and the vest (S$60) from 77th Street. My accessories (like this chain pin) are from 77th Street and they are gifts.
“My fashion icon is none other than Justin Timberlake! Because of the nature of my work, I tend to go for classy, trendy style.”
