7 Singaporean Brands That Dress Like You’ve Already Left the City

Summer in Singapore is a state—dense with light, glazed with humidity, and insistently present. It makes you aware of your body in fabric, of how clothes move, cling, and release.

And in this heat, vacation isn’t always a destination. Sometimes, it’s a feeling—a loosening, a soft exhale, or a bag slung just right.

These Singaporean designers are fluent in that feeling. Whether you’re bound for Bali or just dreaming of it from your apartment, they offer a wardrobe of elegant escape.

Beyond the Vines

Beyond The Vines makes utility feel poetic. Founded in 2015 by Daniel Chew and Rebecca Ting, the brand has evolved into a kind of minimalist cult, beloved for its weightless fabrics, clever silhouettes, and, of course, those iconic bags that feel both playful and precise.

Their pieces are made for movement. Soft cotton shirts that feel lived-in from the first wear and sling bags with architectural confidence.

It’s the kind of wardrobe that doesn’t need too many words. Just good design, packed lightly, worn often.

In Good Company

There’s a grounded grace to In Good Company. Their designs don’t try to impress you—they just fit, in every sense of the word. At the heart of this brand is a belief in balance.

Here, dressing for vacation doesn’t mean tropical prints or resort clichés. It means ease that’s been carefully constructed, pieces that travel with you in mood and material.

Pedro

Pedro understands the pace of now. Their shoes and bags are designed for people who move fast, feel deeply, and need their accessories to do both.

With lines that are clean but expressive, Pedro offers modern essentials—pieces that play well with others, but also know how to stand on their own.

Graye Studio

Graye is less of a brand and more of a meditation. With its unisex silhouettes and considered palette, it invites you to slow down and notice—how something fits, flows, and makes you feel.

Founded by Xie Qian Qian in 2016, Graye builds its world quietly, piece by piece, always circling back to the fundamentals: fabric, form, function, and feeling.

Biro Company

Known for its obsession with fabric quality and construction—especially its cult-favorite loopwheel pants and linen collections—Biro whispers luxury where others shout it.

Every piece feels like it’s been made with time, and the result is a wardrobe that feels grounded, dignified, and effortlessly relaxed.

Kydra

Kydra is built for momentum. For the person who shifts seamlessly from one mode of being to another—morning gym, afternoon meeting, evening flight—and wants one outfit that can do all three.

Rooted in activewear but unafraid to flex into lifestyle, Kydra makes technical clothing feel personal.

Benjamin Barker

If you think suits and summer are incompatible, Benjamin Barker is here to argue—elegantly—otherwise.

The brand has long championed the art of tailoring with a modern twist, making suiting cool again for a generation more interested in self-expression than formality.

Singapore’s fashion scene is a study in thoughtful contradiction: high-function meets high-feeling, architecture meets art, tropical ease meets metropolitan edge.

These designers don’t just make you look vacation-ready—they make you feel like you never really left. So pack lightly, or don’t pack at all. With these brands, wherever you go, you’re already dressed for it.
