Bust out the prints and add some spunk to your wardrobe as the prints trend spills all over menswear labels in Singapore.
Out with the plain tees and in with the prints. Men have been hit by the print bug as we see a surge of experimental and fun prints, colours and patterns all over the streets and men’s fashion labels in Singapore – not that we’re complaining! Read on to see how you can join the prints trend for men.
Duxton
Brought to you by the folks behind Monument Lifestyle, the idea behind this fresh local clothing line exudes the unique spirit of the Duxton neighbourhood. Sure the label does plain tees and basics brilliantly, but we’ve got a thing for The Mikey range of shirts, which channels the kooky and inner child with funky cool patterns. Think vibrant palm trees and fabrics sourced from Japan.
Duxton, 75 Duxton Rd, Singapore 089534
Deboneire
Case in point: Deboneire is the go-to label for the discerning gentleman but who says you can’t add some visual flair to the mix? Exquisite tailoring and quality fabrics aside, look to this menswear label for majolica patterns from the Renaissance era, medallion prints and birds of paradise motifs. Too “out there” for you? Start with a pocket square or tie to keep up your style credentials.
Deboneire, Available online
Sixth Empire
Yes, Sixth Empire has its fair share of casual and smart casual shirts but it is the selection of quirky prints that caught our attention. From mini triangle prints to cheeky oversized prints of a Hawaiian beach escape (right down to surfboards and palm trees) it goes without saying that Sixth Empire is here to embrace the print trend for a long time.
Sixth Empire, Available online
Q Menswear

Q Menswear, 116A Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068585

Benjamin Barker
Perfect for those who just aren’t ready to step out in a head-turner, Benjamin Barker’s Blue Label collection showcases muted prints that are doused in a sea of navy. Fan of bow ties? You’re in for a treat as not only do they have a range of prints and patterns, the knit bow ties add a playful twist.

Hanway
Perfect for the man on the move, Hanway does a sterling job focusing on summer and beachwear styles from eclectic fashion labels around the globe. From cotton T-shirts to shorts, swimwear to grooming accessories, they have it all. So it’s no surprise that you’ll find jetsetter staples like pineapple and blue manta printed shirts, and swim shorts clad in bright-coloured motifs.

Caveman
It’s easy to join in the prints fiasco if you’re paying a visit Caveman. Trust us, what you’ll find is far from its moniker. Instead, a rich stockpile of flower prints in neutrals, camouflage patterns and paisley patterns, just to name a few, awaits. Add neckties, bow ties, pocket squares and caps with similar prints to your collection to amp up your accessory game.
Caveman, Available at Naiise
The Shirt Bar
Leave it to this boutique to bring you an unlimited supply of shirts – they are called the Shirt Bar, after all. Fancy shades of pink, blue, green, yellow embellished with the usual suspects of plaids, ginghams, floral patterns, polka dots and stripes? You’ve come to the right place. Best you complete the look with a blazer all designed with a contrasting under collar and printed inner lining.
The Shirt Bar, Available at multiple locations including Isetan Scotts and Suntec City
