By now, your National Day plans are likely sorted, and they probably involve fireworks and family reunions in some form. SG61 is bound to be a less extravagant showing than last year’s milestone festivities, but that’s all the more reason to celebrate quietly—through thread and craftsmanship; design and cut. This National Day, ditch the generic red T-shirt and white denim cutoffs. Opt for a piece of thoughtfully designed, locally crafted heritage that will accompany you long past 9 August. 

Each of the labels on this list approaches local pride differently, but you can rest assured that they all make it a core part of their philosophy. For Studio Qiling, silk is a canvas for whimsical, fantastical prints which blend mythology with local heritage and wildlife. Indie labels Studio Gypsied and Ans.Ein follow a similar philosophy, though theirs takes the route of batik, blending centuries-old heritage with modern design. Lastly, for those who prefer their festivities with a touch of subtlety, opt for the versatile essentials at The Missing Piece or Studio Ginlee—local staples whose design signatures have become a language of their own.

Ahead, see GRAZIA Singapore’s edit of the chicest Singaporean fashion labels to shop for National Day 2026. 

Studio Qiling

Studio Qiling’s luxe printed silks come with the gift of shape-shifting: wear them as scarves, tops or dresses; on your person or your bag; keep them to yourself or give them away as uniquely Singaporean souvenirs. Founders Jasline Ang and Melissa Tan often draw inspiration from fairytales and wildlife for their hand-drawn prints, with their most popular offerings featuring the doe-eyed Singapura cat and the mythical kitsune. Just in time for this year’s National Day, Studio Qiling has also launched an intricate collaboration with Singaporean leather goods brand Mathilde. The pair are coming together in a celebration of local craftsmanship—combining Mathilde’s signature leather marquetry with Studio Qiling’s whimsical prints to create a series of made-to-order bags in silk and leather. 

Studio Gypsied

Batik is at the core of Studio Gypsied, both as material and philosophy. The label was founded by Singaporean-Javanese entrepreneur Nur Aqilah Zailan, and prides itself on blending Nusantara heritage with modern innovation. To bring their intricate batik motifs to life, Studio Gypsied partners with artisans in Central Java and tailors across Bandung and West Jakarta; their designs are often reinventions of traditional motifs, or imprinted onto sustainable fabrics like Tencel and Ecovero. Lest you think a focus on batik confines Studio Gypsied to occasion wear, their designs are built for versatility—their smartly cropped jackets and boxy culottes wouldn’t look at all out of place in an office setting. For National Day 2026, the label launches a limited-edition collection celebrating Singaporean history: think sleek column skirts and kebayah tops in vibrant red, or draped sarong skirts in deep espresso brown. 

The Missing Piece

When Fock Ee-ling founded The Missing Piece in 2016, she had no formal training in fashion—a fact which is not at all apparent in the label’s thoughtfully designed pieces. The Missing Piece offers a dizzying array of versatile pieces that could carry you from daily errands to special occasions, each with a local twist. Some collections wear their Singaporean influences more obviously: a Chinese New Year 2026 capsule collection includes a series of cheongsams in intricate jacquard or lace, while last year’s SG60 edit features a vibrant, batik-inspired Kueh-Kueh print (and if you were to repurpose it for SG61, we won’t tell). For those who prefer a lighter touch, opt for the label’s everyday essentials in breathable, drapey fabrics like silk and viscose. Take their latest collection, Treasure Island—a vibrant, nostalgic look at the colours and flavours of Singaporean childhood, from Peranakan tiles to layers of agar-agar.

Ginlee

You don’t need to be a devotee of Singapore’s indie fashion scene to be familiar with Ginlee Studio. The label’s signature pleats are both distinctive and universally flattering—traits which have made them a ubiquitous part of the local wardrobe. This year, Studio Ginlee approaches 15 years of operation, and even though pleated garments remain their core offering, they have never shied from reinvention. One of their more successful experiments in sustainability is Make by Ginlee: an interactive initiative allowing customers to select the shape, pleat, and colour of their bag or blouse, and see it created right before their eyes. For National Day, the label also eschews the traditional red palette for a capsule of vibrant pink pleats and crisp linen adorned with geometric Madras checks.  

Ans.Ein

Why leave your art hanging on the walls when you could wear it, too? It was this question that Anseina Eliza and Erlyn Karmelia asked themselves when they first founded their label. Ans.Ein was conceived as a made-to-order, sustainably-minded label creating wearable art, where paintings and drawings were printed onto fabric and transformed into clothes. The pair have since branched into working with discarded fabrics, batik prints, and more, each connected in some form to their Singaporean heritage. Their National Day 2026 offerings include chic batik peplum tops in crisp white, blush pink, and peacock blue—but their most striking designs are also their boldest. For the clearest show of National Day pride you could imagine, opt for Ans.Ein’s Singapore Skyline pieces, where the city’s unmistakable horizon of skyscrapers is printed onto A-line skirts, maxi dresses, and kimono jackets.
