10 of the best places to buy men’s shirts

19th January 2021 by Expat Living 4 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/10-best-places-to-buy-a-shirt-in-singapore/

To help you with finding the best men’s shirts in Singapore, we’ve put together some top high street shops and smaller boutique options. We’ve also got some good tailors who make men’s shirts for formal and casual wear – that will fit you just right. As they say: the shirt makes the man!

CYC Made to Measure

Founded in 1935, this heritage label is known as one of the most established tailors in Singapore. The successful local business is popular for its high-quality, custom-made shirts and suits for both men and women, and has even served some of the most important change-makers in Singapore, including the late Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew! Every detail can be personalised, from the choice of fabric (there’s a fab selection of imported materials) to the buttons and collar style. If you prefer something fuss-free, check out their online store, which stocks standard-size shirts in the coolest and most popular designs. Keep a lookout for their seasonal sought-after Limited Edition collections designed by their very own in-house design team.

The Shirt Bar

What started out as a design house, working for many leading international brands, has led to this local brand finding and filling a gap in the market – between luxury (inaccessible to most) and fast fashion (not environmentally-friendly or sustainable). Despite higher production costs, The Shirt Bar team works with ethical factories that are given audits to evaluate fair wages, hours and more. You can shop their classic formal shirts to quirky casuals in fun patterns at six locations across Singapore. Each of the concept stores has a bar counter with free tea, coffee and even dress-up tips if needed. In fact, the company recently won the Singapore Tourism Award for the Best Retail Store Experience!

Clever Additions

* 24/7 vending machines are available in case you need a belt, a necktie or something else for your suit at any odd time of the day or night!
* Most of the suits, blazers and pants have features like RFID-protected pockets that protect your credit cards and other personal info from security theft.
* The shirts and neckties are spill-resistant.
* Made from bamboo fabric, the brand’s Eco-ol shirts are anti-odour, cool and non-iron (we like the sound of this!).

You can shop online, and delivery is free for all local orders. There’s also a good gift selection with ties, clever T-shirts and cufflinks – think Valentine’s
Day, birthdays and anniversaries!

The Prestigious Bespoke

Headed by university lecturer Thomas Wong, a master tailor who has been in the industry for close to 60 years, The Prestigious Bespoke is Singapore’s only bespoke tailoring house that cuts and makes commissions in-house. All apparel – suits, shirts and more – are crafted by hand by the experienced team of tailors, from start till end and under one roof at their boutique.

To get a shirt tailored, it takes around two weeks for new clients, and just one week for returning customers. Dress shirt prices start from $180. Popular fabrics include Alumo, Soktas and Albini.

Psst… The Prestigious Bespoke is also one of Singapore’s rare houses to offer bespoke traditional Balinese Batik shirts!

Meiko Tailor

Choose from premium quality shirting fabrics from some of the finest mills from England, Italy and Switzerland including brands like Alumo, Baird McNutt, Soktas, Tessitura Monti and Thomas Mason. You’ll get to customise little details, such as the collar, buttons, and even personalised initials on the shirt or cufflinks. Prices for in-house, custom-made business shirts start at $159 (100% Egyptian cotton).

New to the boutique is Baird McNutt, a brand known for its gorgeous Irish linen. Perfect for Singapore’s humid climate, the soft and breathable fabric keeps you cool yet looking polished when you dress it up with a well-tailored jacket, or when you dress down by pairing it with smart chinos or linen berms. One may think that linen wrinkles easily, but it actually looks best with a few creases. The best part is that it’s also machine washable! Available in sky blue, wine pink, washed blue and ashen grey.

Cotton On

Zalora

The Singaporean online shop has a huge range of the latest fashionable shirts any man would need, from a huge list of brands. And you don’t even have to leave the house to make a purchase!

Source Collections

Looking for comfy basic tees? This locally-based label practises a sustainable and socially-conscious production process. The shirts are made of 100 percent organic cotton, which make them great for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

Guys: did you know that your skin is structurally different from that of ladies? For most men, androgen (testosterone) stimulation results in skin that’s thicker and tougher than women’s skin. This also means you might need something more than just your wife’s, mum’s or sister’s moisturiser or face wash! 

Lumin was founded on this concept; this California-based online store offers simple yet effective skincare for men, tailored to different skin types and concerns. So, whether you’re looking for a good face cleanser or a moisturiser for men, this is one brand to check out.

To differentiate Lumin from other men’s skincare brands, founders Richard Hong and Darwish Gani flew to South Korea to work on formulas that benefit the thicker and more stubborn skin constructs of men. Most of the ingredients used are powerful plant-based extracts like ginger root, rosemary, coffee and shea butter. The paraben-free and cruelty-free brand also makes a point of avoiding unnecessary nasties commonly associated with popular off-the-shelf products.

If it’s your first time shopping for men’s skincare, you’ll be glad to know that the Lumin experience is simple and fuss-free. Just fill out a brief questionnaire and you’ll get a personalised skincare regime that’s suited to your skin type and lifestyle. You can choose to go with a one-time purchase or have your products delivered on a subscription basis. Alternatively, shop from the curated range of skincare sets catered to different budgets and preferences.

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!

As we welcome the start of a new year, it’s time to look back at the year that was. 

Obviously, a standard review of 2020 would be dominated by one global issue, however, we’ve decided to avoid any mention of the C-word and instead, we’re taking a look at some of the other things that happened in 2020 
month by month, from pop culture phenomena to mystery objects in our deserts and skies (full link in our stories)

Enjoy – and have a wonderful 2021!
