Singapore might be humid, but the fashion scene is freezing cold with all the “ice” people are wearing. Gone are the days when a plain t-shirt and flip-flops were the national uniform. Today, the streets of Orchard and the hidden corners of Queensway are packed with hypebeasts and sneakerheads.
If you want to avoid dressing like a confused uncle, you need to know where to shop. You want pieces that are authentic, limited, and confirm good.
From high-end luxury drops to vintage resale gems, we have mapped out the concrete jungle for you.
Here are the 10 best streetwear shops in Singapore.
1. Dover Street Market Singapore (DSMS)
Located in a converted army barracks in Dempsey Hill, DSMS is the cathedral of cool. It is arguably the most impressive fashion retail space in the country. It mixes high-end luxury (like Gucci and Balenciaga) with top-tier streetwear. This is one of the few places in Singapore where you can physically queue for the latest Supreme drops.
What to buy: Comme des Garçons Play (the heart logo), Supreme, and exclusive sneaker collaborations.
2. Limited Edt
If you are a sneakerhead, this is your church. Limited Edt is Singapore’s premier sneaker boutique. They have several concepts, but “Limited Edt Chamber” at Marina Bay Sands and their Vault stores are where the magic happens. They hold the keys to the most exclusive Nike, Jordan, and Adidas releases.
What to buy: Limited edition Air Jordans, Yeezys, and New Balance collaborations.
3. Surrender
Surrender has been shaping the local streetwear scene for over a decade. Located at Orchard Road, it focuses on the luxury end of the streetwear spectrum. If you are looking for Japanese cult brands or American luxury street labels, this is the spot. It’s pricey, but the curation is world-class.
What to buy: Neighborhood, WTAPS, and Visvim.
4. Stüssy Singapore
The California skate/surf brand has seen a massive resurgence globally, and their Singapore chapter at Scotts Square is always buzzing. The interior is sleek and designed by the same team behind their global stores. Stock flies off the shelves here very quickly, especially the Singapore-exclusive tees.
What to buy: The classic Stüssy 8-Ball tee and the “Stüssy Singapore” chapter t-shirts.
5. EXIT
EXIT offers a different vibe compared to the polished malls of Orchard. Located in Queensway Shopping Centre (and now orchardgateway), EXIT is a haven for the gritty, authentic street culture. They specialize in resale goods, vintage finds, and hyped accessories. It feels like a treasure hunt every time you walk in.
What to buy: Resale Supreme accessories, vintage oversized tees, and rare sneakers.
6. Actually
For those who find the “hypebeast” culture a bit too serious, Actually is a breath of fresh air. They focus on fun, functional, and slightly quirky streetwear. They carry brands that are cool but not necessarily trying to be “luxury.” It is a great place to find sturdy bags and colorful outerwear.
What to buy: Freitag bags (made from recycled truck tarps) and Obey clothing.
7. The Corner Shop
Hidden away in Far East Plaza, The Corner Shop is a cult favorite among locals. It mixes streetwear with a distinctively Singaporean “Mama Shop” aesthetic. They carry a mix of Japanese labels and hard-to-find Western brands. It’s the kind of place you go to if you don’t want to wear what everyone else is wearing.
What to buy: Wacko Maria shirts and unique Japanese denim.
8. Foot Locker (Jewel Changi)
While Foot Locker is a global chain, their “Power Store” at Jewel Changi Airport is on another level. It is massive and stocks a “House of Hoops” section dedicated to basketball culture. Because of its size, they often get stock of Nike Tn (Tuned Air) and other models that smaller stores don’t get.
What to buy: Nike Air Max Plus (Tn) and exclusive Adidas tracksuits.
9. Well Bred
Well Bred bridges the gap between hardcore streetwear and everyday casual wear. They have outlets in Vivocity and other malls, making them very accessible. They are particularly strong on American workwear brands that have become street staples.
What to buy: Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) jackets, Champion hoodies, and Dr. Martens boots.
10. JD Sports
Known as the “King of Trainers,” this UK giant has dominated the Singapore malls recently. JD Sports is the best place for “Roadman” aesthetics and sportswear. They have plenty of “Only at JD” exclusive colorways for sneakers that you cannot buy anywhere else.
What to buy: Nike Tech Fleece joggers and JD-exclusive colorways of the Nike Dunk Low.
