Men's shoes
Loafers, derbies, and oxfords–classic men's footwear styles–have long and seamlessly become part of women’s fashion. These shoes add confidence, modernity, and a touch of boldness to an outfit.
The key is to combine them properly with other wardrobe elements to maintain a balance between "tough" and "soft."
According to the stylist, this type of footwear pairs well with feminine pieces, such as miniskirts, colorful knee-high socks, and dresses.

Oversized bomber jackets
A modern alternative to the blazer for a more informal work setting.
"The main thing is to keep the balance, since bombers work best with calm, basic items," Tan emphasizes.
What to pair them with:
- Jeans or cargo trousers
- Mini or midi skirts
- Dresses
- Classic pants or suits
- Leggings or bike shorts
