Retailers operating within apparel and footwear specialists are likely to re-examine their physical footprints over the short to medium term, as higher labour costs and rental rates in Singapore are compelling brands to optimise store networks. The need to balance accessibility for consumers with the economic realities of running store-based locations is becoming ever more pressing, prompting detailed evaluations of where and how brands maintain their presence.
Uniqlo, often referred to by locals as Singapore’s ‘national uniform, continues to enjoy wide acceptance for its affordable prices, good quality and suitability for the local climate - particularly its AIRism line that has proven popular in humid conditions. With a silhouette designed for the Asian body shape, its ranges tick multiple boxes for consumers seeking comfortable and stylish daily wear.
A wave of challenger brands has been gaining traction among sporting apparel and footwear enthusiasts in Singapore.

Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
