When the local fashion label, best known for its clean-cut design aesthetic and classic pieces with a twist, introduced its first-ever menswear collection, we were psyched. What can you expect, lads? Streamlined wardrobe staples ranging from cotton jersey T-shirts to crisp cotton poplin shirts, tailored shorts, bomber jackets, utilitarian pants, and cotton gabardine cropped trousers – everything a gent needs in his style arsenal.

Suitsupply, #03-14B/15, Ion Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn, Singapore 238801
6. Duxton
Fun fact: Guccio Gucci was inspired to create his own line of luxury bags while he was in an elevator working as a lift operator. Brought to you by the folks behind Monument Lifestyle, the idea behind fresh local clothing line Duxton may not have been conceived within a confined space, but rather the unique spirit of the Duxton neighbourhood. These tailored button-downs go for $100 and above, and you’ll be getting some serious quality and style points.
Duxton, 75 Duxton Road, Singapore 089534
7. Paul Smith

Offering playful yet wearable pieces like printed bomber jackets, chevron sweatshirts, and tuxedo jackets, this one’s for the adventurous man.

It’s not every day that one finds soft, quality T-shirts (and sustainably made, too) so trust us when we say that we’ve hit a goldmine with Source Collections. The eco-friendly local brand delivers men’s T-shirts made from 100% organic cotton, produced without pesticides and toxic chemicals. They’re also ethically made by a factory in China – it’s certified by the WorldWide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), an independent non-profit team of global social compliance experts.

11. Cos
If you’re a minimalist, this is where you should be. Cos, short for Collection of Style, is H&M’s higher-end branch and known for its pared-back style and colour palette. Don’t get us wrong, the designs might look pretty simple at first glance, but it’s all about the fine detail. Whether it’s a unique way of stitching or a different cut, Cos always finds some way to put a spin on its clothing. We say it’s time to give Cos a chance, especially with three out of five men already wearing Zara.
Cos, multiple locations North Bridge Road and Orchard
12. Mango
Fitted clothes, good fabric and affordable prices are the ethos here. Mango carries an extensive range of clothing – henleys, T-shirts, polos and cardigans. Guys, if you want to look charming, you’ll want to own a few of those pieces.

14. Benjamin Barker
There are plenty of menswear stores around shelling out the same, heritage-inspired threads in Singapore. But Benjamin Barker is a cut above the rest. Founded locally in 2009, the concept store gets our vote for its unpretentious yet dapper collection of dress shirts, bespoke suits, custom-made leather brogues, and handsome accessories that even the ladies might be tempted by.

We get it guys: you don’t want to part with your old rugby jerseys because they’re so comfy. Now, how about a compromise? Local label sifr melds style and comfort perfectly with its range of breathable luxe Pima cotton T-shirts that are ultra-fine, silky, and lightweight. Not only that, the team behind sifr is serious about their craft, which is why you’ll easily find a pared-back, yet impeccably crafted collection of button-down shirts, blazers, and footwear for everyday wear.

Everything you need is here, including button-up shirts, black denim jeans, and pullovers.

20. Muji
Lifestyle store Muji has to be one of our favourite go-to places when we’re looking for fuss-free, lightweight and aesthetically pleasing menswear in Singapore. Muji’s comfy flannels and monochromatic pieces will easily spruce up your wardrobe.
Muji, multiple locations including Orchard and Tampines
21. Fred Perry
You can’t go wrong with this one. Part of London’s fashion heritage, Fred Perry probably coined the art of “athleisure” before it actually became a thing. A simple black t-shirt with its iconic embroidery – the laurel wreath – exudes minimalist coolness.
