So often at Ms.Yin | Ms.Yang we hear that there are no clothing options in Singapore apart from resort wear. If you’re in this camp and despairing, check out luxe local label NAO which offers tailored pieces in fine fabrics allowing you to switch it up from your go-to resort wear. Each collection is well thought out giving you daytime options through to special occasion dressing. In fact, NAO was created by Neha Oberoi in 2010, with the idea to design a ‘zip sari’ that would work on a special occasion, but would also stand the test of time and adapt occasion after occasion.

Indeed, you can see this theme running through each collection. The use of good quality fabrics and clever design ensures not only glamour pieces but wardrobe staples for smart daytime dressing that you can wear again and again. Interesting textures and silhouettes combined with good use of colour from neutrals to brighter pieces with striking prints, too will make you feel a million miles away from the ordinary.

Neha’s fashion credentials date back to working for corporate groups at Calvin Klein and Bottega Veneta in New York. From there, Neha moved to Beijing where she developed her design and draping skills. Thereafter, she moved to Singapore and joined a business development team at LVMH before launching NAO in 2010. Neha continues to design in Singapore providing glamorous and effortless collections for women who want more than the run-of-the-mill.

So, what were our stand-out favourites?

Ms.Yin went cock-a-hoop for NAO’s signature long dress in a fine silk jersey in blush pink that can be styled in many different ways due to a detachable sari-esque shawl. And as is her wont she completely nailed this look – check her out below.

Whereas Ms.Yang fell in love with an asymmetrical jumpsuit in a rich animal print which screamed glamour puss!

Effortless glamour just in time for Chinese New Year…what are you waiting for? Get in the NAO 🖤
