There are plenty of blogshops around – albeit mostly catering to the ladies. In both the real and virtual worlds, females can find pretty clothing for cheap without a hitch. However, it’s a different story for us guys. It’s a chore finding suave apparel for guys in physical stores, let alone in the virtual space.
In Singapore, almost 99% of blogshops sell female-only garments, but we at TheSmartLocal have heard your calls, men! Here are 10 great male blogshops to satiate your need to shop!
The first that tops the list of male blogshops is none other than Sixth Empire – the largest blogshop in Singapore for guys. It boasts an extensive collection, with more than 150 tops and 554 accessories. Most, if not all of the outfits offered in Sixth Empire are custom-designed, meaning that you won’t be likely to find them on Taobao or Qoo10.
Their website is easy to navigate, with appropriate subsections under the main categories. It also helps that they have an organised cart system for easy checkout!
Average price range: $39 ~ $45 (Shirts); $31 ~ $42.90 (Shorts, Long pants)
Wow-factor: Super wide variety

If the name sounds a little too quirky, that’s because it is! Reverend Rabbit’s logo immediately tells you that it is hip and contemporary. Specialising in graphic tees, it’s made for men who love prints of all sorts. My favourite is the Wild Roar Original Graphic Tee, as the ferocious yellow tiger contrasts well against the black tee. Head to Reverend Rabbit if you want to try graphic tee styles that scream hipster Japan at prices that won’t break your pocket!
Average price range: $14 (T-shirts)

Queiro claims they “never go out of style”, and it’s not difficult to see the truth in that! The bracelets available are particularly trendy – manly anchor bracelets of a myriad of colours, distinctive burnished leather bracelets, and polished metal bracelets. Quiero also has a healthy collection of simple short-sleeved shirts without much graphic mess. Price-wise, Quiero doesn’t really need you to break the bank.

Guys Closet’s X factor is simple: affordability. You can find a decently designed long-sleeved shirt below $25, most roundneck tees are below $15, and belts around $13!

If you are on the lookout for short-sleeved shirts with nature-inspired designs, head over to Sabotage. It is one of the few male blogshops out there which has a trove of nature-themed shirts.

The concept shoots bring out the charm of the items, which would have been lost without good photography.
Average price range: $39 ~ $45 (Shirts); $30 ~ $39 (Shorts, Long pants)
