Hey Guys,

can you please tell me if you wear in SG (on the street, in the office, etc. ) business-shirts with a short or with long sleeve?

thanks, George

Long sleeves with shorts (with pleats) is the way to go in Singapore.

I thought I was on the wrong board. For a moment there I though I was on the angry board except the colour scheme was wrong. Guy asks a reasonable question and only gets crap in return.

Business dress is slacks & long sleeved shirt & tie. On the street most anything goes, short & tee's & Asian motorcycle boots or trainers are normal.

SMS what are

Asian motorcycle boots

I am not really a biker, but I know what biker boots are, do you mean how some of the locals ride around in flip flops?

OP - Go long

In almost all cases, a long-sleeve shirt, slacks and leather shoes is the norm. Some companies will also require ties, but that's not very common (usually banking or insurance).

Well like you said ties not always required i guess the question makes more sense if we new where you worked or what you work you going to do?

Under no circumstances should you wear a short sleeve button up "business" shirt.

Unless it's "casual friday".

Buttin up means that the last button (neck) is closed?
