With hip new barbershops, bespoke menswear outlets, and even a "man
cave" popping up around Singapore, men now have more than one
reason to embrace their metrosexual side. Here's a complete guide
to help you along—from haircut, to suits and whisky.
The threads are
everything
Suitsupply
If you're just getting your toes wet, begin with two essential
suits every dapper dandy should have—dark blue and/or black or
grey, all great for weddings, work or even just a nice dinner. Of
course, you'll need shirts to go with, and a tailored shirt with
bespoke touches like monograms and buttons are the difference
between amateur and badass. To help you put together your dapper
wardrobe, we’ve rounded up five places where you can get men’s
suits from high-end brands like Italian Boggi
Milano, premium Aussie label Benjamin Barker (which recently opened
an outlet in the heartlands) and even a Japanese suitmaker. If
you’re in dire need of a complete wardrobe overhaul, and you need
more than just tailored suits, check out the men's guide to dressing up in
Singapore. Casual affairs or spiffy parties— we’ve got
you covered, even down to your feet.
Autocutt
Barber
Be it a man-bun, buzz cut or fade, how you wear your hair says a
lot about you and length, style, cleanliness and color all factor
into the first impressions you make in any room.From slicked back
hair to the undercut, modern men’s hairstyles may have evolved but
the old-school styles will forever remain as a great option for
gentlemen who want a classic and polished look. Here
are eight old-school barbershops to help
you get that desired look. Too expensive? Well, HDB barbershops are
making their comeback and as with everything else these days, are
doing so in an unapologetic hipster fashion. Check out
these six hip HDB barbershops.
D.Bspoke
Ok, we know this is super stereotypical, and all the women in our
office are whisky fiends, but with the suit and the haircut, a
glass of whisky will be the ideal accessory. If you need ideas on
where to get a dram fix in Singapore, here are
our top six whisky bars list.If you think
you’re ready to graduate to the big leagues of Japanese booze,
check out our list of ten Japanese whisky and sake bars in
Singapore showcasing authentic imported single
and double malt offerings from favorites like Yamazaki, Hibiki and
Taketsuru.
Black Single Speed from Tokyobike
Two-wheeling to work may be a new trend, what with the
(neverending) rising COE prices in Singapore—but you don’t have to
look like a bike messenger doing so. Get a sleek minimalist ride
from urban bike specialist Tokyobike. You'll look like one of those
Roman rascals in a Fellini film.
Rugby Sevens
Completely the manly stereotype with a chest-beating sport. Plus, a
little work out will keep you in shape for the ladies. Here
are 5
underrated sports in Singapore you should sign up
for. Sports such as rugby and baseball has become quite popular
options in Singapore and they’ve somehow retained a more refined
image than soccer, so that’s another plus.

Plaza

20, Tangs at Tangs Plaza has recently launched
a fancy men's retail pop up stocked with
lifestyle products such as vinyls, statement sports accessories,
and sleek homefurnishing. Skincare routines are no longer just for
the females—men can now (unabashedly) partake in it. Here, we've
rounded up a few places to get skincare and grooming
products.
