readers' comments
Singapore is a hot and humid place. Almost 365 days in summer heat. The humidity is around 90%. Fashion is limited. Simple simple Jeans and T-shirts will be fine for comfort reason but is the flip flop, track shoes or sneakers that is the fashion crime. For work a simple office shirt and office pants will do the job. Suit is not suitable unless you have strong air-con in your workplace.
