One of the few places in Asia that I felt ok eating at street markets. Lovely fresh food.<br />I&nbsp; would always have a light cardi, cotton or linen -fabrics that breathe, to pop on - the air-conditioning is cold enough but if you a slightly damp from the last shower it seems even colder. The hotels and restaurants favour sub-zero temperatures. <br />An umbrella is a must. And when the sun comes out again the humidity is killer.<br />Singaporeans are very modest and dress up. The department stores and shops are very nice.<br />Have a great trip!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550757 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 09:18:06 +0000 Maneera 1550757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sharan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550743 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:17:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1550743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Maneera, you should check out <a rel="nofollow">40 Plus Style</a>; the blogger is in Singapore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550680 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 03:06:26 +0000 Maneera 1550680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550055 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 06:24:00 +0000 Maneera 1550055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you so much, Ashleigh. Ok----now Singapore sounds like India! </p> <p>I almost always wear shorts under dresses...I'm kind of a modest myself and would rather die than flash my underwear to anyone EVER! </p> <p>As for knits- I didn't mean sweaters. I meant tshirts, but ones that don't actually look like tshirts. I have quite a few - Breton stripes, pretty florals and abstract prints. I don't wear very short shorts either, so I think my usual shorts with pretty tees, a scarf and flat sandals should do for city walking. </p> <p>Summer dresses and flat sandals are another option. Now I had no clue it rains so much there! Hadn't thought of that at all! I'm so glad I asked you all for tips, or I would reach Singapore without any Plan B. I actually love to walk in the rain....so I will carry a lightweight jacket for evenings...a foldable umbrella that fits my handbag, but essentially I'll carry lots of options to change into incase I get soaked. </p> <p>Your tips are most helpful. Thank you so much for making the time to write them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550052 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 06:10:05 +0000 Leighways 1550052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are very conservative! I just had a Singaporian homestay come over who was horrified how many teens wore miniskirts and crop tops in New Zealand!&nbsp;</p> <p>(Sorry for writing so much. Slight packing nut.)<br />If you're keen on looking like a local, try out a few of their fashion and social media apps. I'll see if I can find the links that might help. But, really, you ARE a tourist, so just think practical - singlet shirts and basic cotton tees are light and can be changed quick and layered under pretty much everything so, a must. If you're keen on jeans, wear them on the plane, bring LOADS of socks (humidity=sweat=stinky feet). If you're planning on restaurants, two dresses and on pair of basic heels should definitely do it! Remember - nobody else will &nbsp;know if you wear the same one twice. And you can always have a look in the shops while you are over there.</p> <p>Maybe avoid knits. They're heavy, take up a lot of packing space, and won't be good in hot weather. Summery dresses should be alright, but wear shorts underneath + nothing you don't feel uncomfortable getting dirty/rumpled or having to run in (modesty matters.)</p> <p>RAIN. JACKETS. ARE. A. MUST. You can probably buy a light coat when you get there though so, it really depends how much room you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550048 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 05:44:26 +0000 Maneera 1550048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tips Brooklyn. Thank you so much! Culture in India is also conservative and equal parts dressy and casual.....more casual for tourists. So will summer dresses and shorts with dressy knits be too casual? </p> <p>I would definitely have lunch at Raffles Hotel....will pack 2 dressy dresses and a pair of heels. Night zoo sounds fun! Off to google it....thanks again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550034 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 04:34:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1550034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and a trip to the night zoo is really fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550032 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 04:33:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1550032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really sticky humid, so be prepared to get changed a bit. I also think the culture is more dressy and more conservative than Australia (not sure how it compares to India!). I recommend lunch or dinner at the Raffles Hotel for some old world glamour. You can sit outside in their lovely courtyard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1550019 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 04:02:59 +0000 Maneera 1550019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Angie. So basically I should pack a layering item? Like a cotton cardi to throw over whatever I'm wearing? </p> <p>I did suspect that Singapore would be fashion forward.....and I'm so glad to hear it is! I think my summer dresses with scarves would work. I could use the denim vest or a cardi to layer up. And shorts with pretty tops should work for city exploring.....though I suspect 'city exploring' in Singapore may just mean mall hopping </p> <p>Would you also know what is great to buy there? I know that Charles and Keith gets very cheap if you buy in Singapore, but I've never loved shoes from that brand....though their handbags are really good. Could I find more fashion forward clothing and brands there? Do any of the American brands have stores there? </p> <p>Essentially, I have 3 things on my to buy list. A pair of high shaft ankle booties in black, a good swimsuit (I have a lot of difficulty in India as no one sells swimsuits by cup sizes) and a snake-print handbag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1549763 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 19:20:31 +0000 Angie 1549763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's VERY hot and humid. Relentless actually. But freezing in the air-conditioning so you need layers all day. And dress up. People dress up in Sing despite the heat. Plus it's wet so pack an umbrella.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sentosa is a lot more casual and family centric. Lots of kids.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1549571 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:09:55 +0000 abc 1549571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never been but want to wish you a FAB trip! &nbsp;I can't wait to see the pics once you're back home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/singapore-travel-help#post-1549441 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 09:26:03 +0000 Maneera 1549441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers, </p> <p>I'm traveling to Singapore on the 17th September for 4 days. It's a long weekend trip my husband and I want to take to see some friends and just relax </p> <p>Angie mentioned she's been to Singapore a lot of times. If any of you have traveled there, can you help me with what to pack? All information online says pack for hot &amp; humid weather ---- so shorts and dresses sound ideal. </p> <p>But what's the local style like? Casual? Smart? Dressy? Will simple summer dresses and flat sandals be good for exploring the city? </p> <p>We don't have any concrete plans yet. We do want to go to Sentosa Island to go to the beach and are having dinner with friends at Singapore Flyer. </p> <p>Can you also suggest places to shop and eat? I'll be glad for ANY Singapore travel tips. </p>
