Try these:

- Far East Plaza for trendy fashion and accessories, lots of Japanese and Korean street-style stuff here
- Bugis Junction has the usual mall shops, but also some small boutiques and kiosks selling locally-made stuff and it's right beside Bugis Market where you can get cheap, trendy tshirts for $10 SGD
- "This Fashion" is a popular Singapore chain selling really cheap but trendy Chinese clothes for women. They have locations all over the city (often near subway stations!) but the biggest one is at the end of Orchard Road near Doby Ghaut MRT station.

Well, in my opinion dozen malls and shopping complexes are crammed into a few short blocks of shopping district here. You'll find top shelf fashions at Tangs; department stores like Robinsons & Co. at Centerpoint. Specially the Mustafa centre at serangoon rd. why?? because they have almost everything there and at really reasonable prices. Good luck dear!!!!

Be careful when you buy electronic goods at Sim Lim Square. Plenty of scams happening to tourists so do your homework before you attempt going in there.

I'm Singaporean and would rely on a friend who knows the place well before attempting to bargain over there.

For more affordable clothings I suggest: Far East Plaza and Bugis Village. Best to visit singapore during our Great Singapore Sale (GSS) as discounted items are up to 80%.
