The North Face (Paragon)

The buzz: Outdoor-wear specialists The North Face has a sleek new store at this swanky Orchard Road mall, following the opening of its Westgate branch late last year.
 
The vibe: Nothing fussy here—the interior is kept clean and simple, which makes their colorful merchadise pop. The one interesting highlight of the store’s design is the mismatched wood panel facade at the counter, which lends a touch of ruggedness.
 
The goods: The brand’s fifth retail outlet in Singapore carries the full range of The North Face men, women and youth apparel and accessories. There’s a wide range of stylish and functional anoraks in bold, contrasting tones, which will sets you apart from the normal drab winter gear and is what you should probably be heading down here for. 
 
Why we’ll be back: It’s really a one-stop place to grab everything you need to be properly attired for a camping trip, which saves the hassle of hunting around from store to store.
