Audit Your Closet
Before buying anything new, take stock of what you already own. You will likely rediscover pieces you forgot about and identify what you actually need.

Support Local Tailors
Singapore has skilled alteration shops in nearly every neighbourhood. A simple tailoring job can transform a thrift find into a perfect fit.
Swap Before You Shop
