Winter vacays are notoriously hard to prepare for, no thanks to meagre baggage allowance, limited outfit options and under (or over) estimation of the cold. Whether you’re hitting the slopes for a ski trip, hiking snow-capped mountains or exploring the streets of a chilly country, we’ve rounded up the best winter wear shops in Singapore where you can pick up clothes to keep you warm, toasty and stylishly layered.

6. Uniqlo
Everyone’s fave Japanese clothing brand offers the unthinkable: affordable cashmere sweaters. *gasp* But if your winter wardrobe is calling out for more than super soft layers, stock up on leggings and long-sleeved shirts from the Heat Tech and Ultra Light Down collections. Great for layering, these pieces are unbelievably lightweight and keep wearers warm without the overbearing thickness of usual winter woollies. Look out for products from the Ultra Light Down category – these super comfy jackets will keep you nice and warm.

Sustainable and high-tech, Marmot specialises in outdoor wear for adventures and winter needs. We especially love the men’s hype down hoodie that provides exceptional warmth and compactibility, and the women’s prospect coat that’s made of two-layer waterproof and breathable fabric. Plus, the brand constantly works towards minimising its carbon footprint. Expect to find other useful winter accessories like gloves and beanies in the selection, too.

One thing’s for sure: Mango breaks away from the stereotypical winter vacay suitcase of pudgy windbreakers and ugly sweaters. What you get is a wardrobe upgrade of chic essentials and novel choices.
