This sprawling ION Orchard store probably has more suits on its many racks than smartly dressed men in our sweltering city. So the next time a fancy dress occasion rolls around, bring your father, brothers and other halves through its doors. Suit shopping can be pretty daunting if you can't tell your notched lapels from party-ready peaked tips, but the attentive – and very sharply suited – service staff here are in top form, ready to demystify the dress code without being too pushy.
Pick from the many muted shades of green, blue, grey, or black on the racks ($579-$1,549), or speak to the team about finding the best fabric for the garden wedding you don't want to melt at. The one-stop nature of the store also means that you won't have to venture outside in search of a shirt ($129-$309) or pair of brogues ($279-$1,159) to match. And those sewing machines flanking the entrance of the store aren't just there for show – alterations are done in-house while you wait, which means you can pretty much rock up 2 hours before your fancy fête to get dressed, if you roll that way.
