We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of our annual flagship event FemaleGP this year, and the search for Singapore’s next fashion stars (tag your best looks on Instagram with #FemaleGP2016 to join – yes, it’s that simple) is currently underway. So while we’ve quizzed the Female Collective girls on what “best dressed” means to them (check out what Linda Hao says about that), we’ve also scoured Instagram to highlight the coolest outfits from local style stars.

Below, how to make an outfit go from “blah” to “wow” while dressing for hot weather, thanks to clever accessorising and mixing and matching:
