Host and mother of two Megan Tan juggles emceeing events, managing her social media accounts and raising her young children.

Describing her style as comfortable chic and versatile, she changes up her looks according to what is planned for that particular day.

Her outfits from day to day have to make sense in her hectic lifestyle, and with fitness being an important component of her day, Tan dresses up her workout gear with jackets and stylish sneakers.

“My life mostly revolves around my kids so I guess you could say that my current project is raising these little human beings,” says Tan.

“I constantly joke that I’m their PA.”

While she is perfectly comfortable being in the public eye and used to hate the idea of being alone, these days Tan cherishes time to herself.

“I treasure my ‘me time’ more than anything now because it gives me time to not only do whatever I please but take a moment to reflect, to do the inner work for better self understanding and awareness which I personally feel is highly needed in today’s day and age,” she says.

What is your favourite go-to look?

I’m always either working out or with the kids so these days athleisure – I’m usually in my workout clothes and I’d throw on a denim jacket or I’d be in my cropped top and high-waist denim shorts or pants and sneakers.

Anything comfy that allows me to run after the kids but still somewhat stylish.

But, if I was going on a night out then my go-to outfit would be a mini or midi dress with either booties or a pair of nice heels. I usually dress according to my mood and how my body feels that day.

What are your three must-have style/beauty items?

Eyeliner, hoop earrings, hair curler or tongs.

What trend would you most like to see disappear?

Socks with sandals.

What are three key pieces everyone should have in their wardrobe?

A good pair of jeans, white sneakers and bodysuits.
