7 Essential Streetwear Brands to Elevate Your Wardrobe in 2025


8 minute read

Streetwear in 2025 isn't just a trend, it's a movement.

What started in skate parks and hip-hop scenes has become a cornerstone of contemporary fashion. In Singapore's ever-shifting streetwear scene, the look has matured without losing its edge.

Whether you're chilling at Jewel, café-hopping in Tiong Bahru, or headed to a creative office in the CBD, streetwear now shows up in relaxed silhouettes, bold graphics and effortless pairings. 

But today's streetwear labels go deeper. It's about quality craftsmanship, versatility, and timeless design—and at Club 21, we've seen that shift unfold firsthand.

So, which brands are leading the charge in 2025? Let's take a look.


What Is Streetwear? From Subculture to Global InfluenceStreetwear pieces drawing inspiration from the busy streets of Japan

Streetwear didn't start in fashion houses — it started in the streets.

In the 80s and 90s, it grew out of surf, skate, and music subcultures. Raw, expressive, and proudly anti-establishment, it captured the energy of a generation. Hip-hop icons like Run-D.M.C., Tupac, and A$AP Rocky turned baggy jeans, oversized tees, and bold sneakers into statements. 

By the 2010s, streetwear entered a new chapter. Luxury houses like Louis Vuitton began collaborating with streetwear brands, unexpectedly merging prestige with pop culture.

The line between street style and high fashion began to blur, and these groundbreaking partnerships became defining moments in fashion history.

In Singapore, the change is easy to spot: statement sneakers paired with tailored trousers, stiff shirts swapped for oversized tees. With it comes the desire for brands that feel both refined and real.

It's from this space that the most compelling streetwear labels are emerging — thoughtful in design, built to last, and grounded in authenticity.


7 Streetwear Brands You Should Know in 2025

From global icons to cult favourites, these are some of the best streetwear brands shaping the city's style in 2025. 

Here are seven clothing brands you can count on to bring ease, character and quiet confidence to your everyday rotation:

1. COMME des GARÇONS PLAY – Playful Yet TimelessCOMME des GARCONS PLAY poster

COMME des GARÇONS PLAY is the most accessible line from Rei Kawakubo's Japanese label, known for minimalist shapes, signature stripes, and that unmistakable heart logo. Simple on the surface but never basic, these pieces carry a quiet personality.

In Singapore, the PLAY collection has become a go-to for understated style. It is familiar, versatile, and recognisable without being loud. Whether layered under a blazer or paired with denim, it fits easily into almost any wardrobe.

2. Fear of God ESSENTIALS – Effortless Cool in Everyday WearFear of God ESSENTIALS poster

Created by Jerry Lorenzo, Fear of God ESSENTIALS is where streetwear meets urban sophistication. With oversized fits, muted tones and soft textures, it's designed for comfort without compromising style.

In Singapore's humid hustle, it's the kind of wardrobe that breathes easily — comfy, clean, and ready for anything from work to the weekend.

Club 21's 2025 Picks: Gender-Inclusive Fashion

This season's essentials include Fear of God ESSENTIALS collection of tees and sweatshirts in tones like taupe, sand and charcoal — clean, tonal, and versatile.

With a unisex cut and timeless silhouette, they are easy to layer, share or style solo.

Perfect for anyone who values comfort with a cool factor.

3. Human Made – Vintage Streetwear with Modern RelevanceHuman Made poster

Human Made is the brainchild of NIGO, the same graphic designer and visionary behind Bathing Ape (BAPE). 

But this brand trades loud prints for vintage-inspired pieces rooted in Americana and Japanese fashion heritage. Expect heavyweight tees, souvenir jackets and reworked workwear that feel nostalgic yet fresh.

Club 21's 2025 Picks: Nostalgia You Can Wear

The graphic tees are where Human Made comes to life. It features ducks, hearts, and slogans like "Gears for Futuristic Teenagers" that sound like a band you'd actually listen to.

Each design carries a sense of playful subculture, crafted with premium fabric and timeless cuts. 

These aren't just clothes. They're little cultural artefacts, made to last, made to matter.

4. UNDERCOVER – For the Rebels Who Think DeeplyUNDERCOVER poster

UNDERCOVER, created by Jun Takahashi, blends punk attitude with conceptual design. The brand draws heavily from art, music and film — creating pieces that speak in subtext rather than statements.

 In Singapore, it resonates with creatives who want their wardrobe to provoke thought as much as style.

Club 21's 2025 Picks: Graphic Tees With Something to Say

The brand's t-shirt collection is where the storytelling begins, with surreal graphics, cryptic slogans, and references to film, art, and philosophy, making each one feel like wearable subtext. 

Crafted from premium cotton and cut just right, these tees are built for impact and longevity. 

5. Wooyoungmi – South Korea's Streetwear with Architectural PrecisionWooyoungmi poster

Wooyoungmi, designed by Wooyoungmi and her daughter Katie Chung, blends modern architecture with soft masculinity. The brand's clean lines and structured silhouettes offer a refined take on streetwear without losing ease. 

In Singapore, where the dress code hovers between "I'm chill" and "I've got a meeting later," Wooyoungmi effortlessly fits into both office and off-duty settings.

Club 21's 2025 Picks: Tailored to Last

No screaming logos here. The shirts collection, in particular, stands out — crisp button-downs with clean lines that work from boardroom to brunch. 

Each piece is cut with intention and built for long-time wear. 

And with its unisex vibe and clean finish, each piece adapts naturally to personal style.

6. sacai – High-End Experimentation that Workssacai poster

Chitose Abe's sacai is where fashion takes risks and pulls them off. Known for hybrid silhouettes that mix materials, shapes and genres, it's one of the most innovative forces in Japanese streetwear.

Think pleats with knits, bomber jackets with chiffon — all reimagined through expert construction.

Club 21's 2025 Picks: Art Meets Utility

Layering in Singapore is a risky business, and Sacai makes it not only possible but practical. 

Many of their hybrid pieces are crafted from lightweight materials like cotton blends and mesh, offering structure and breathability.

Look out for one-piece wonders like asymmetric tees and bomber dresses — pieces that bring enough drama without the sweat.

7. AMI – The French Take on Relaxed Street SophisticationAMI poster

Founded by Alexandre Mattiussi, AMI captures that distinct Parisian ease: cool, effortless, and just the right amount of romantic. It's polished without being uptight and casual without ever looking thrown together.

Think of it as the outfit you'd wear to grab wine at lunch and still look put together after.

Club 21's 2025 Picks: Relaxed and Refined

Amid the Lion City's heat, AMI is a breath of fresh air. The lightweight tailoring (linen shirts, cotton tees, and throw-on jackets) is built for tropical living. 

What's even better? Most pieces are unisex. Oversized knits, classic logo tees and perfectly tapered trousers work for everyone and every vibe. 

Whether it's a lazy weekend or a last-minute date night in town, AMI has your back (and your wardrobe).
