Collared

Forgo stiffly-starched, structured collars for a laid-back, softer look: the mandarin collar is a great alternative to the more-formal former, and can take you from Monday through to Friday. Throw a jacket or blazer over for a sharper look, or go for a shirt dress with a buttoned-up mandarin collar and match it with sensible flats for an outfit that’s poised without being too prim. Alternatively, dress down and match your top with a pair of chinos, and finish off with sneakers, flats, or loafers. Suitable for both men and women, we love how the mandarin collar gives casual wear a modern, minimalist touch, yet still allows you to stay cool in the humid Singaporean weather.
