How to wear straight leg jeans like an off-duty model this summer
I first started seeing a noticeable return to the humble straight leg around fashion month earlier this year, when it was clearly the go-to uniform for off-duty models slouching around Paris and New York. Usually low or mid-rise, and worn with loafers, ballet flats, or boots, the straight leg feels casual and low effort, without totally swamping you like some baggy jeans can. And if, like me, you'll never be on board with a return to skinny, the straight leg is an easy alternative that feels like a classic. Getty Getty
Bella Hadid—who I consider a sort of soothsayer when it comes to jeans—has also been on the straight leg jeans trend for a minute. Often pairing hers with a vest and trainers, or sometimes a lil stiletto, the 28-year-old model has got straight leg outfit combos down to a fine art. She's also not averse to a high-rise straight leg with a belt, which feels very 'early 2010s mom' in the best way possible. Controversial take, but: I feel like she eats in a straight leg even more than she does a bootcut. Getty
Fortunately, finding the most perfect straight leg jeans for summer is a relatively painless experience—unlike, say, piling a gazillion bootcuts into a harshly lit changing room. My colleague Alice Cary swears by vintage straight legs, as the denim has a bit more life to it. 'The pair of Levi's 501s I found in a vintage store in the US several years ago are perfectly worn-in and will continue to age as I wear them,' she wrote for British Vogue recently. 'They have a finish that's hard to replicate in a factory.'
Obviously, models look good in anything—that's literally their job. But if there's one trend that's worth replicating this year from the GOATs of low-key cool, it's the straight leg. Whether you're a model or not, I truly believe you can't go wrong with this straight up-and-down classic. Courtesy of Uniqlo

Uniqlo to debut Labubu collection in September, here's what to expect, Lifestyle News
The Labubu craze in Singapore is set to continue with Japanese retail brand Uniqlo launching a collection featuring this devilish little creature. Set to drop in September, the collection is titled The Monsters and consists of 14 styles of T-shirts and sweatshirts, priced from $14.90 to $39.90. The collection will be in women's and girls' sizes, while male customers can check the sizes when making a purchase. Although Uniqlo is expecting high demand, the brand will not be implementing a purchasing limit for each customer, The Straits Times reported. No specific launch date was provided as of the time of writing, so Labubu fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for when exactly can they snag these exciting pieces. For the uninitiated, Labubu is a devilish character that is part of The Monsters series created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung back in 2015. Labubu's popularity skyrocketed onto the world stage after international celebrities such as Lisa, Dua Lipa and Rihanna were spotted with the dolls, often attached to a bag. It's not just clothing collaborations and dolls either. In June, a human-sized Labubu figure was sold for $194,000 at an auction house in Beijing. [[nid:718315]] amierul@

Here's how to style your swimwear this summer the Vogue way
Courtesy of The Mega Agency If you're in a Mamma Mia! state of mind—think twinkling blue waters, tousled beach hair, and chilled proseccos under the sun—then you're not alone. Whether it's a hidden beach in Capri or a yacht cruising along the Amalfi coast, the fantasy is vivid: days that melt into golden sunsets, a sun-kissed glow, and the perfect beach wardrobe to accompany all your summer adventures. But once you've found the perfect body armour deemed necessary for a 'hot girl summer', the question remains—how do you make your swimwear look good outside the clear blue waters? The answer: the right cover-ups. It's not just about what swimsuit you wear, but how you wear it. Do you keep things simple or playful? Minimal or layered? From breezy sarongs and oversized linen shirts to statement jewellery and chic scarves, the right styling can take your beachside fashion to a whole new level. Take a leaf from the book of the ones who do it best—aka our favourite celebrities. Because the unanimous verdict is: they're doing summer right. Like Bella Hadid's now iconic baggy jeans cover-up, think a basic black bikini top paired with baggy low-rise jeans and a silk headscarf—the right amount of cool for her time under the sun. And just when we thought we'd seen it all, Kylie Jenner stepped out in Venice for a pool day and gave us something entirely new to be obsessed with. And obsessed we are. Spotted at Jeff Bezos's and Lauren Sánchez's high-profile wedding, the reality TV star turned heads in a black latex string bikini styled with a matching crochet pencil skirt. Below, find Vogue Singapore's guide to taking your swimwear beyond the waters. @lalalisa_m 1 / 24 Sheer bliss A sheer dress is a must-have for a beach vacay, plus you can take it up a notch by pairing it with a bright coloured bikini for a pop of colour just like Lisa here.

Labubu T-shirts, sweatshirts to be launched in Singapore by Uniqlo in September
The tie-up with Uniqlo will consist of 14 styles of T-shirts and sweatshirts. PHOTO: UNIQLO Labubu T-shirts, sweatshirts to be launched in Singapore by Uniqlo in September SINGAPORE - Come September , fans of the wildly popular Labubu cartoon characters in Singapore will be able to buy T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring the playful elves in the latest special collection from Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo. The tie-up with Uniqlo will consist of 14 styles of T-shirts and sweatshirts , and will be priced between $14.90 and $39.90 . Uniqlo said the collection will be in women's and girls' sizes, and suggested that male customers check sizes when making a purchase. Uniqlo added that it is expecting high demand for the collection but will not be implementing a purchasing limit for each customer. Labubu characters – said to be elf-like creatures that live in a Nordic forest – were created in 2015 by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung as part of his Scandinavian-inspired series The Monsters. Prices for the collection range from $14.90 to $39.90. PHOTO: UNIQLO Pop stars including Rihanna and Dua Lipa have been seen with Labubu dolls, which are sold by Chinese toymaker Pop Mart. They are now highly popular collectible merchandise in Singapore and around the world. On June 28, snack-themed Labubu dolls attracted about 160 fans at Pop Mart's Ion Orchard store, with some customers arriving before dawn. The queue for the last Labubu release at the same store in April 2025 started forming at 2am . Limited-edition Labubu dolls are often sold for exorbitant prices on the resale market. A check by The Straits Times on online marketplace Carousell on June 30 found limited-edition Labubu dolls being resold for as much as $8,000 . The high demand for the dolls has also led to the growth of counterfeit products and smuggling of these items. Uniqlo's past tie-ups include clothes featuring animated characters such as Mofusand and popular anime series Demon Slayer, and collaborations with luxury designers like J onathan Anderson , who most recently worked with Dior for its men's summer 2026 collection.
