I love to wear lots of white in warm weather and brighter colors but sometimes I’m just in the mood for a darker and edgier look, especially in the evening.
This is what I wore to Singapore fashion week one of the evenings. It’s quite dark in the tent and Singaporeans tend to wear a lot of black so I blended right in.
It’s a very layered look with lots of asymmetric elements coming in to play.
The skirt itself has an asymmetric insert, while the top layer of the skirt is sheer. This gives the skirt a sexier and edgier feel. You can see the sheer elements really well in the photo below.
I chose to layer the skirt with my super asymmetrical top to emphasize the asymmetry in this look.
I know that many of you would probably prefer this outfit with a ‘normal’ black top, but I had fun with the layers and doing something different. It was fashion week after all!
Jacket: Cigno Nero
Skirt: Nevada (very old)
Knitted top: Stella Carakasi
Shoes: Ecco (old)

And that’s how sexy is done! Utterly glamorous, cool, and sophisticated. Love your sense of style.
This is my favorite look of yours so far! I actually thought you were wearing all Helmut Lang – just goes to show what you can achieve if you have a certain aesthetic in mind!
Sexy leggsy.
This look is fabulous on you. I love the asymmetry, the sheer black skirt and the jewelry that you chose. I’m sure you turned many a head!
This is a layering I would totally want to steal away from you 😉 Love the material and the shape Sylvia! Black I tend to wear all year. In summer usually with blue denim and my fave flamingo shirt du jour 😉 xo Sabina | Oceanblue Style
I love this edgier outfit on you! You are the queen of asymmetrical styles, I need to take lessons from you.

Hope to see you Thursday for TBT Fashion link up.
Is it just me or doesn’t this need some kind of slip? You can see right through it.
That’s the point of this skirt. If you look closely, you see that it has an inbuilt asymmetrical slip. It covers all the important parts.
What a wonderful, cool, modern look. You look great in black as well as your usual white.
I can see your love for assymetric and I sense it is something I ‘m getting enthousiastic about but I own nothing of it yet. My love for black is coming to surface after 16 years.
Love that dress and jacket ! Sylvia you look absolutely fantastic 🙂 x
Subtle sexy. I like it!
