Okay, can we take a moment to appreciate Nicholas Tse in this DETERMINANT campaign? Because wow. The man is serving serious executive energy — sharp suit, calm confidence, and honestly giving off major short drama domineering CEO vibes (çŸå‰§éœ¸æ€»). If the goal was to make professional dressing look effortlessly cool, mission accomplished.
But beyond the swoon-worthy visuals, the campaign also introduces DETERMINANT’s Spring Summer 2026 collection, “Own Your Pace”, a range designed for the realities of modern work life — especially here in Singapore where humid weather, long commutes and packed schedules are just part of the daily grind.
The collection is built around a simple philosophy: quiet confidence and purposeful dressing.
Nicholas Tse: The Face of “Own Your Pace”
Few personalities capture discipline and versatility quite like Nicholas Tse. Known across Asia for his work in music, film and entrepreneurship, Tse represents the idea of someone constantly evolving while maintaining a strong sense of focus - a mindset that aligns perfectly with DETERMINANT’s approach to modern workwear.
“In a city that never slows down, what you wear has to keep up. DETERMINANT does exactly that — it gives you one less thing to think about, so you can focus on what matters.” --- Nicholas Tse
Well, that line sums up the brand perfectly. Because in Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle, the last thing most professionals want to worry about is wrinkled shirts or sweat marks halfway through the day.
Built for Singapore’s Climate and Work Culture
The SS26 “Own Your Pace” collection is designed specifically with urban professionals in mind - people who move between MRT commutes, meetings, work lunches and evening events without missing a beat.
Instead of purely focusing on aesthetics, the collection prioritises comfort, performance and adaptability while maintaining a clean, polished look.
The range is organised into three themes reflecting different stages of professional growth:
-
Own Your Momentum – for those constantly moving forward
-
Own Your Ambition – representing career drive and progression
-
Own Your Mastery – confidence built through experience
It’s a thoughtful way of framing workwear; not just as clothing, but as part of the journey professionals take as they build their careers.

| Wrinkle-Free Sharp Shirt - SGD100 (Royal Navy, White, Grey) |
From the SS26 Collection
Wrinkle-Free Sharp Shirt
A crisp shirt is a work wardrobe essential, but ironing every morning? Not exactly the dream.
The Wrinkle-Free Sharp Shirt solves that problem with DP4.0 wrinkle-free technology, helping it maintain a clean and structured look throughout the day.
Made from 100% extra-long staple cotton, it features bonded seams and a concealed placket for a streamlined silhouette. It’s designed to work equally well tucked into tailored pants for meetings or styled more casually with jeans. In other words... polished without feeling overly stiff.

| VISDRY™ Polo - SGD95 (Black, Grey, Mystic Blue) |
VISDRY™ Polo
If you’ve ever stepped out into Singapore’s midday heat, you’ll understand why this piece is such a game-changer.
The VISDRY™ Polo is engineered with moisture-repelling technology that keeps sweat from appearing on the outer surface of the fabric while absorbing perspiration internally. A shirt that helps you stay dry, comfortable and presentation-ready, even during outdoor transitions or packed workdays!
Its clean construction and concealed placket also elevate the polo beyond casualwear, making it easy to wear on its own or layered under a blazer.

| Multi-Stretch Commuter Blazer - SGD200 (Navy, Mid Grey, Grey) |
Multi-Stretch Commuter Blazer and Pants
Designed for professionals who are constantly on the move, the Multi-Stretch Commuter set focuses on flexibility and durability. The fabric features four-way stretch, allowing full freedom of movement whether you're commuting, travelling between meetings or simply navigating a busy day.

It also includes a water-repellent finish to resist light rain and accidental spills, something that feels particularly practical in Singapore’s unpredictable weather. Despite its performance features, the set still maintains a clean, tailored silhouette, striking a balance between comfort and professional polish.

What makes the “Own Your Pace” collection interesting isn’t just the sleek designs or the Nicholas Tse factor (although that definitely helps). It’s the focus on real-world functionality - clothing that works with Singapore’s climate, supports busy schedules, and still looks sharp throughout the day.
And if dressing well can give you even a tiny boost of confidence during a long workday, that’s already a win. Plus… if it helps channel a little Nicholas Tse CEO energy, I’m definitely not complaining.
