Discover Styling: The East — a curated series celebrating our favourite local brands and effortless looks, inspired by beloved spots along the East Coast. Style meets lifestyle at i12 Katong and online at DORS.COM.SG
Sometimes, fashion is a statement. Other times, it’s a soft exhale — a reflection of where you are and what you need. For this edition of The DORS Editorial, we lean into the rhythm of the East Coast: slower mornings, creative corners, and styles that echo the pace and poetry of the neighbourhood.
Welcome to Styling: The East, where every look finds its match — in cafés, in movement, in intention:
Matcha Muse
Our Pick: June Coffee
Soft light. Clean cotton. A mood.
Some mornings ask for quiet confidence. That’s exactly what Matcha Muse delivers — a clean, coastal-inspired silhouette designed for slow sips and softer focus. Set against the pared-back interiors of June Coffee, the look blends effortlessly into a space known for its calm energy and excellent ceremonial-grade matcha.
At the heart of this ensemble: crisp cotton layers, understated yet elevated. The Embrace Jewellery x ANS.EIN Kintsugi Gold Bracelet whispers quiet luxury. Pair this look with sunglasses from Rocket Eyewear for an added touch of effortless cool. The standout piece? A convertible vest-turned-bag by Graye, perfect for hands-free ease with architectural edge.
Complete the vibe with a swipe of re:erth sunscreen and an open schedule — this is your call to embrace slow mornings, minimalist lines, and moments that feel like a deep breath.
DORS Recommendation: Perfect for coastal walks, journaling sessions, and meeting friends who are always on time.
Joo Chiat Jazz
Our Pick: Choice Cuts Goods + Coffee
Prints, playlists, and soulful attitude.
Every neighbourhood has that one spot — a little gritty, a little magic, always a vibe. For the Joo Chiat Jazz look, we found ourselves right at home in Choice Cuts Goods + Coffee, where stacks of vinyl meet stacks of pizza and casual cool lives in the air.
This look riffs on the art of contrast: daywear that nods to nightwear, comfort with edge. The Kanzi Collection bomber steals the show with an ikat print in moody black and grey, while a jade-embellished Desti Saint clutch adds polish without trying too hard.
Layer in the Rare Bird Collection - Peranakan Floral Pearl Charm Long Necklace — Peranakan-inspired with just the right amount of punch — and you’ve got a look made for creative afternoons that turn into unplanned evenings.
DORS Recommendation: Ideal for gallery-hopping, record-flipping, and deep conversations that start with "Remember that time we…?"
Kopitiam Classic
Our Pick: Chin Mee Chin Confectionery
Retro floors, kaya toast, and slow mornings that feel like home.
Kopitiam Classic is all about grounding — in place, in time, and in style. Set against the retro charm of Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, this look pays homage to heritage with relaxed ease and a touch of soft rebellion.
Start with Caeli Eco Luxe Demin Skort— tailored enough to feel pulled together, relaxed enough for a second round of kopi. On top, the Duxton white flowy blouse catches the breeze and light in all the right ways. The Everyday Club beige cap reads “Better Together” — a message as timeless as kaya on toast — while the Singlapa Peranakan Tile Tote brings a pop of nostalgic pattern and local flavour.
It’s the outfit version of your favourite old-school breakfast: comforting, satisfying, and worth slowing down for.
DORS Recommendation: Best enjoyed with soft-boiled eggs, unfiltered sunlight, and zero rush.
From hidden cafés to head-turning pieces, Styling: The East is more than a series — it’s a love letter to local labels and the slow, stylish joy of discovering your next favourite spot.
