Great — here are practical, affordable places and channels to shop for workwear in Singapore, grouped so you can pick what fits your budget and style:

High‑street chains (good basics & wrinkle‑resistant pieces)

• Uniqlo — reliable smart shirts, stretch trousers and “Uniqlo at Work” pieces that are affordable and easy care. (Uniqlo.com)
• H&M, Zara, Mango — frequent sales and plenty of office‑friendly separates and blazers at wallet‑friendly prices. (thehoneycombers.com)

Online multi‑label retailers (big selection + frequent discounts)

• Zalora — large selection of local and international brands, often has sales and workwear edits (good for comparing styles/prices). (womensweekly.com.sg)
• Marketplaces: Shopee, Lazada and local e‑tailers also list inexpensive basics and work staples (watch seller ratings and return policies). (en.wikipedia.org)

Local brands & boutiques (affordable tailored looks)

• Love, Bonito, Pomelo, and local label capsule collections — mid‑range but frequently discounted; good for polished dresses, trousers and blouses. (Coverage in Singapore shopping roundups). (womensweekly.com.sg)

Secondhand / preloved (best value if you don’t need brand‑new)

• Thryft, Refash, New2U and other thrift stores/consignment platforms — great for quality pieces at a fraction of retail; you can find blazers, skirts and work shirts cheap. Singapore has an active preloved scene and organised thrift pop‑ups. (timeout.com)

Outlet malls & bargain spots

• Look for outlet stores and seasonal clearance racks at major malls (Orchard Road, VivoCity, Raffles City etc.). Queensway Shopping Centre is known for lower prices on basics and work‑style trousers/footwear. (thehoneycombers.com)

Quick practical tips

• Time purchases for major sale events (9.9, 11.11, year‑end sales) — big savings on work staples. (asiaone.com)
• Buy neutrals (black/navy/gray/beige) and 2–3 statement pieces to stretch your wardrobe.
• For best fit, buy trousers/blazers slightly larger and get inexpensive tailoring — a small hem/waist tweak makes off‑the‑rack pieces look bespoke.
• If you prefer trying before buying, visit flagship stores on Orchard Road, Raffles City, Bugis for one‑stop comparisons.

If you want, I can:

• Pull together a one‑day shopping route (Orchard/Bugis/Raffles City) with store addresses and nearest MRT stops, or
• Scan current online sale pages for specific budget options (tell me your price range and if you want men’s or women’s).
