Now that Singaporeans with an HBO subscription
can finally get to see Sex
and the City’s (SATC)
without resorting to pirated or smuggled DVDs, its influence must have
got a shot in the arm. The UrbanWire
team scoured town to find the trend’s trickiest togs –
the multi-tiered frilly ruffled tops, and came up with some tips on donning
them specially for you.

| The Good |
The great thing about these tops is that they hide your shape,
just the thing for concealing tell-tale signs of not going to the
gym, and wide hips.[top]

| The Bad |
Of course because it disguises your figure, wear the wrong cut
and you could end up looking like a wedding cake gone wrong. [top] |
| Tips |
- Always keep accessories simple and minimal. You don’t
want to look like a stylist’s minefield with your baubles
and makeup competing for attention with your top.
- With simplicity as your mantra, pair your top with an understated
skirt or a pair of trousers. Never pair frills with more fussy
details.
- Don’t just buy off the rack. These tops are the worst
items to buy online because you really need to try each piece
before knowing whether it’s right for you. [top]
