4 Chic Ways to Dress Up For Singapore's Rainy Season

7 January 2020

Heading out to the theatres or for work can be a tricky thing to navigate sometimes. One of the greatest ironies about dressing up in Singapore is the idea of bringing a jacket out in the heat, or when it suddenly pours. When you’re sweating in the humid tropical climate outdoors, step into your office or the mall, and suddenly we’re in the middle of winter.

Here are some ways to dress up for Singapore's rainy season.

1. Layer up

Combat the confusion by wearing tank or spaghetti-tops that you can layer with a cardigan or blazer on. Pair it with jeans, formal trousers, loose pants, or a skirt.

2. Drape a blazer over your shoulders

Dressing for the heat doesn’t mean you have to look unprofessional. For meetings with upper management or clients, a blazer will dress your outfit up instantly.

3. Pack a cardigan

If you’re not big on carrying a large tote to stuff your jacket in, a cardigan’s a lightweight option that doesn’t take up much space, and keeps you warm from 9am to 6pm.

4. For day to night dressing

Going somewhere special after work? A shawl is formal enough for your cocktail dress, and warm enough to keep your arms and legs warm in the office.
