Shop for your Chinese New Year outfits at The Clementi Mall
Skip the city centre crowds in the lead-up to Chinese New Year (CNY) and opt to do your shopping for your festive outfits at The Clementi Mall instead.
The West-side haven, conveniently located near Clementi MRT Station, has a line-up of womenswear and menswear boutiques, where you can try on and buy your CNY fits, including thrift stores if you prefer shopping sustainably.
Thinking of embracing traditional Chinese outfits this Chinese New Year? Then swing by I.E.F. SG (#03-18/19). The homegrown womenswear label has a variety of qipaos in modern and traditional cuts, as well as beautiful co-ord sets with Chinese design details.
We’re big fans of how these co-ord sets are offered in subtle pastels and neutrals instead of the louder reds and golds that one associates with Chinese New Year. Whatever your pick, it’ll be versatile enough to wear on other special occasions, and not just to bai nian.
At CHERIS (#03-28), trendy, feminine styles—think cottage-core and coquette-core—share rack space with gorgeous interpretations of traditional Chinese outfits. Their maxi-dress selection is packed with gems. You get high-quality fabric that’s airy enough to withstand a full day out visiting in Singapore’s hot and humid climate, as well as flowy silhouettes that let you feast as much as you want without discomfort.
Zone in on their co-ord sets as well, featuring fun textiles like denim.
Shopping for pre-loved clothing has become the norm as more and more Singaporeans prefer when style and sustainability go hand in hand. That is the name of the game at REFASH (#03-20/21), Singapore’s largest fashion thrift store.
Pore through racks of pre-loved gems for both men and women from a wide range of brands. REFASH is a great destination to shop for your Chinese New Year fit on a budget too, as many pieces here are priced at $6.90 for CNY! Their circular fashion concept also encourages you to sell your pre-loved clothes with them, offering you credits on your next purchase!
No festive outfit is complete without footwear, so shop for new shoes at Vivian & Sean (#03-12). Shoes for both men and women are available here, in styles that range from the trendy to the classic.
Speaking of trends, if you want to get your hands on a pair of the Mary Janes or strappy ballet flats that have been taking over your social media feeds lately, Vivian & Sean has you covered. Currently, they’re also running a CNY promotion where you get $10 off your second house brand item—the perfect excuse to get more shoes to match your chu yi and chu er OOTDs.
Men, make HLA (#03-13/14/15) your one-stop destination for your CNY outfit. The outlet has quite a range of printed button-downs and T-shirts to add an exciting touch to your festive garb, including a fun CNY series, featuring red graphic tees and sweaters with adorable designs of HLA’s mascots.
We spotted a Mandarin collared short-sleeve shirt we thought was especially fitting for the New Year, with a subtle dark maroon floral print that is festive, but not garishly so. Pair this with chinos and you’ve got a look that can take you from bai nian to the club. From now till 2 February, HLA is offering $18 instant rebate with every $168 spent, terms and conditions apply.
