Overhaul your wardrobe for less
by Joy Fang

There are a few tell-tale signs that you need a wardrobe overhaul.

If your closet is full and you have "nothing to wear", you've got a problem. And, if those clothes don't even fit you any more, it's time for an overhaul.

What you want is a solid range of clothes that you can mix and match easily, and works with your body and lifestyle.

There's no better time than now to take stock, thanks to the Great Singapore Sale.

Here are our picks of the best places to shop, thanks to their promotions:
