What to Wear in Singapore — The Complete PP Wardrobe
What to Wear in Singapore — The Complete PP Wardrobe
Singapore — Marina Bay, Raffles Hotel, hawker centres, Sentosa beach — year-round tropical wardrobe.
Singapore is one of the most meticulously designed cities in the world — the Marina Bay Sands complex with its infinity pool above the city skyline, the Gardens by the Bay supertree grove, the Sentosa Island resort precinct, the colonial heritage of the Raffles Hotel and the Civic District, and the food culture of hawker centres that has been recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. The wardrobe responds to the year-round tropical heat and the city's specific social registers.
The year-round tropical context. Singapore's climate is consistently between 28 and 33 degrees year-round with high humidity — there is no cooler season. The certified Belgian linen wardrobe is appropriate and comfortable every day of the year in Singapore. The humidity makes the evaporative breathability of linen more practically significant here than in dry hot climates.
“Singapore's year-round tropical heat — 28 to 33 degrees, high humidity, every day of the year. Certified Belgian linen is appropriate and comfortable in Singapore every day. There is no season here where another fabric is more relevant.”
— Pieter Petros, founderFor Marina Bay and the civic district. The Marina Bay Sands, the ArtScience Museum, the Esplanade, the Gardens by the Bay — the most photographed civic district in Asia. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Marina Bay evening. The supertree grove light show at Gardens by the Bay is one of Singapore's defining experiences: a composed natural fabric wardrobe for the outdoor evening.
For the Raffles Hotel. The legendary colonial hotel — the Singapore Sling bar, the afternoon tea, the hotel's colonial arcades. White PP linen for the hotel pool; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Long Bar.
For the hawker centres. The outdoor food court culture — Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, the Newton Food Centre. A PP linen shirt in white or a vivid colourway with linen shorts and leather sandals. The hawker centre is the most casual social context in Singapore and the most authentically Singaporean.
For Sentosa Island. The resort island — Universal Studios, the beach clubs of Siloso and Palawan. White PP linen over natural swim shorts for the beach; leather sandals.
