Singapore is celebrating its 59th birthday this year, offering plenty of ways to enjoy National Day. On Aug 9, people will commemorate the occasion by attending the parade, engaging in outdoor activities, hosting home parties, or attending formal soirées. Whatever your plans, here are some fashion accessories to help you make the most of the day
Get protection
If you plan to enjoy the public holiday outdoors, apply sunscreen and a lip balm to prevent your lippies from drying out in the sun. Check out the Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil and Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask. The Fenty Treatz Lip Oils are available in Black Cherry and Dragon Fruit variants. They feature antioxidant-rich formulas to safeguard your lips against environmental stressors, resulting in a more moisturised, smoother and plumper appearance.

Comfort with style
Beat the heat and be inspired by A|X Armani Exchange fashion by selecting neutral tones paired with bursts of red and pink patterns. Ditch the conventional blacks and navy blues for these effortless ensembles suitable for daily wear for both men and women. With the hot and humid weather at the parade, you’ll appreciate clothing made of natural or technical materials with a focus on sustainability. You can complete your ensemble with accessories like trainers, loafers with durable soles, rubber slides and various bags, including handbags, tote bags and backpacks in coordinating colours. These attire options take you from daytime activities to 8pm when the highly anticipated fireworks display begins.
