Three outfit ideas built around shirts, shorts and trousers
For men dressing in Singapore, a shirt with straight trousers, a graphic tee with shorts and a popover with an optional jacket cover different parts of the week. Start with the fit you enjoy, then adjust the layers and footwear to the occasion. These three combinations use six pieces from labels available through DORS.
Plan around both the walk outdoors and the time spent inside. Check your workplace or venue’s dress code, and carry the extra layer only when you expect to use it. Shoes and accessories from your existing wardrobe can finish each look.
A White Shirt and Straight Trousers for Work
For an office that accepts smart-casual clothing, pair a white shirt with dark straight trousers and plain loafers or other permitted closed shoes. A tucked hem shows the waist and belt; check that the shirt stays comfortable when you sit down.
W:RLD
The Long Sleeve Shirt White is made from 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Its white button-front design gives this outfit a simple starting point. Try it tucked in, then check that the shoulders and chest still allow you to reach forward comfortably.

RYMH STUDIO
The Straight-Fit Trousers 001 have a high waist, a straight leg and an included belt. Their fabric is 50% cotton, 47% nylon and 3% spandex. Carbon makes a dark base for the white shirt; compare the waist and length measurements with trousers you already wear before selecting a numbered size.

A Graphic Tee and Cotton Shorts for the Weekend
A graphic tee and plain shorts make a simple combination for a casual lunch or a day off. Pay attention to their lengths together: an oversized top can cover more of the shorts than a regular tee. Try the full outfit in a mirror before deciding on the size.
TALKING TOES
The Space Sheep Oversized Tee in Black has an oversized silhouette and a colourful space-themed graphic. Wear it loose over plain shorts, keeping enough of the shorts visible below the hem. Its sizing should be judged by the garment measurements and the amount of room you prefer.

DUXTON
The Basic Shorts are made from pre-shrunk 100% cotton. Light Grey works with the black tee and leaves room for its graphic to stand out. Finish with trainers you already own, then check how the shorts sit at the waist and thigh when seated.

Check the Fit Before Choosing a Size
Lettered and numbered sizes are not interchangeable across brands. Compare shoulder width and body length for tops, then waist and length for bottoms. Use a familiar garment as a reference and follow each brand’s measuring method. If a measurement or fibre label is missing online, ask DORS for that detail before ordering.
A Popover and Cropped Jacket for the Evening
Reuse the straight trousers from the work look with a relaxed popover for dinner or a gallery visit. Add the jacket if you want a shorter outer silhouette or expect to spend time in cool interiors. Check any venue dress requirements before choosing your shoes.
DUXTON
The Relaxed Fit Popover Shirt in Classic Rayon is described by DORS as a relaxed style in smooth rayon fabric. Choose Olive with Carbon trousers for colour, or Black for a darker combination. The partial button opening gives the neckline a different shape from the full button-front work shirt.

RYMH STUDIO
The Cropped Shirt Jacket 001 adds a cropped, buttonless layer in a 50% cotton, 47% nylon and 3% spandex blend. Peat can sit over the popover for an air-conditioned venue. Try both pieces together so the sleeves move freely and the shirt hem sits where you want it below the jacket.
Make the Pieces Work Across Your Week
The white shirt can also be worn with the cotton shorts for a daytime plan. The graphic tee can go with the straight trousers when you want full-length coverage, while the popover works on its own when an extra layer is unnecessary. Use these combinations as styling suggestions and adjust the proportions to your wardrobe.
