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]
