Tangerine is the colour to wear this Spring. See how Queenie from Taipei wear the trend in her tangerine oversized cardigan by keeping the rest of her outfit in simple black and white. We also like the way she layers the cardigan over shorts and tights. Match it with a pair of kick-ass boots for that androgynous edge.
On the streets of Taiwan, La Mode Outré photographer James spotted Alex in an earthy mix of browns, greens and blues.
Black might go with everything, but brown and grey make for softer complements to this season’s pales – especially for a day-time look. Add a bit of depth with dark or patterned accessories to finish the look.
La Mode Outré is an Asian street style site that is run solely by James Bent, a British Photographer living and travelling across Asia.
Look like a super fit athlete without actually being one. This season’s sporty chic trend isn’t about sweat pants and t-shirts. We are talking about showing off tone legs in stretch mini skirts, spandex tank tops and a pair of bright sneakers. Top it off with a sports jacket or a boyfriend sweater.
Today we feature Taiwanese Street Style by James Bent of La Mode Outré.
Leather biker jackets are not only for Harley Davidson aficionados on their loud booming machines. We love how pretty Liao looks in hers.
Blazers are not just for the stiff corporate types or preppy student types. We love how Anoushka P pairs her white blazer with t-shirt, black jeans and knee-high boots. Roll up the sleeves and you have a smart casual look with an edge.

I have wanted a fur vest for the longest time. It is a silly thing for a girl living in Singapore to covet, but love is blind and I continue to lust after the inimitable sense of glamour that it exudes. I have since decided that there is no reason why I cannot buy one of these lovely things and save them for a cold autumn day somewhere far away. My perfect fur vest will be fluffy, soft and preferably faux. To wear a standout statement piece like this, it will be wise to tone down on the rest of your outfit and keep it fuss-free and classic. A silk shirt and wide-legged pants combination or a simple maxi-dress will do very nicely. The preppy Alexa satchel will add a certain youthfulness to the ensemble but go luxe with a slinky snake print. Spritz on a sensual fragrance, like Gucci’s Flora, and that’s all.
The sexy and feminine maxi-skirt is designed to bring out that womanly hour-glass figure. Let yours end just above the ankles and pair it not with your usual pair of pumps, but with menswear-inspired loafers. A long full skirt may strike you as being too dressy for day, so tone it down with a cool distressed denim jacket for a bohemian city look. Accessorise sparingly but extravagantly with a pair of colourful dangling ear-rings or over-sized cocktail ring.
