Dressing up in Singapore is a unique challenge. You want to look chic and put-together, but the humidity is constantly trying to melt your outfit. While global fast-fashion giants are everywhere, they often lack the specific “Asian fit” or fabric technology needed to survive the tropical heat.
Luckily, the local fashion scene has exploded with creativity. From high-tech lifestyle wear to chic office staples, homegrown brands are designing clothes that are practical, stylish, and confirm good. Whether you need durable basics or a statement piece for a wedding, the local market has it all.
Here are the 10 best fashion brands in Singapore.
1. Ultifresh
Topping our list is Ultifresh, a brand that is redefining what “basics” mean in Singapore. While they are a giant in the custom apparel world, their lifestyle line is a game-changer for the everyday wardrobe. They bridge the gap between activewear and casual streetwear perfectly.
Why they are the best: They use proprietary fabric technology that is anti-bacterial and anti-odor. In Singapore’s heat, this is a superpower. You can wear their tees all day without feeling sticky or smelling sweaty. Their designs are minimal and clean, making them the perfect foundation for any outfit.
2. Oren
Oren (Oren Sports) is a staple in the Singaporean fashion landscape. If you open your closet right now, there is a high chance you already own something from them. They are the undisputed kings of affordable, high-quality basics.
Why they are the best: Variety and durability. Oren offers a massive spectrum of colors and cuts, from honeycomb polos to soft cotton round necks. Their clothes are built to last; they don’t shrink or lose shape after a few washes, making them the most reliable brand for daily wear.
3. Love, Bonito
Love, Bonito is arguably the most famous female fashion label in Singapore. They built their empire on one simple premise: clothes that actually fit the Asian female body. They understand that Western brands often get the proportions (like hip-to-waist ratios and pant lengths) wrong for Asian women.
Why they are the best: Their workwear is unbeatable. If you need high-waisted trousers or structured dresses for the CBD office life, this is the first place to look.
4. Charles & Keith
From a humble shoe store in Amara Shopping Centre to a global powerhouse worn by celebrities like Blackpink and Gigi Hadid, Charles & Keith is a local legend. They provide luxury aesthetics at prices that won’t make you cry.
Why they are the best: Accessories make the outfit. Their bags and shoes are consistently on-trend, sophisticated, and look much more expensive than they actually are.
5. Beyond The Vines
If you see a colorful, crinkly bag on the MRT, it’s likely from Beyond The Vines. This design studio has mastered the “utilitarian chic” look. They focus on bold colors and functional designs that make everyday life easier.
Why they are the best: The “Dumpling Bag.” It is lightweight, water-resistant, and foldable. It has become a national icon because it is practical enough for the wet market but cool enough for a cafe date.
6. The Editor’s Market
For those who love the minimalist aesthetic, The Editor’s Market is paradise. They favor clean lines, neutral earth tones, and simple silhouettes. They avoid loud logos, focusing instead on the cut and the fabric.
Why they are the best: Their linen collection. Linen is the best fabric for Singapore’s weather, and The Editor’s Market does it better than anyone else, offering breathable dresses and sets that keep you cool.
7. Benjamin Barker
Men’s fashion in Singapore can be boring, but Benjamin Barker fixes that. They fill the gap between cheap fast fashion and expensive bespoke tailoring. They offer “heritage-inspired” menswear that fits the leaner Asian frame perfectly.
Why they are the best: Their shirts are full of personality. With details like wooden buttons, contrast stitching, and premium cotton, they make a standard work outfit look dapper and intentional.
8. In Good Company
In Good Company is for the fashionista who prefers a sophisticated, modern look. Their clothes are often described as “sculptural.” They play with interesting drapes and sharp tailoring rather than loud prints.
Why they are the best: It is “high fashion” without the four-figure price tag. Their pieces are timeless and don’t follow fast trends, meaning you can wear them for years.
9. Our Second Nature
Our Second Nature is a brand with a soul. They are famous for their custom prints. Every collection features a unique print designed in-house, often inspired by nature, abstract art, or textures.
Why they are the best: If you are tired of solid colors and want something fun, their printed maxi dresses and kimonos are unique conversation starters.
10. Yacht 21
Born from the love of travel, Yacht 21 is Singapore’s first urban cruise-wear label. The logic is simple: Singapore is an island, so why not dress like we are on a permanent holiday?
Why they are the best: Their fabrics are generally lightweight, non-iron, and breathable. Their sleeveless shirt dresses and culottes are perfect for transitioning from a work meeting to a weekend brunch.
