Soo... what to wear as a mid-thirties guy on a relaxed evening out?

While rather easy in good old Europe, Singapore is giving me a hard time when it comes to relaxed streetwear - shoes, jeans, all fine, but what kind of t-shirt / polo to wear in thirty degrees Celsius with high humidity?

Its annoying to sweat as soon as you leave the house, so it cant be more than one layer... and taylored long sleeve shirts get kinda boring after a while.

Can anyone advise on really good, not too boring polo / t-shirt brands that can be worn by a guy in his mid-thirties without looking like a Aussie middleage surferboy?

Should somehow work with the level of my shoes ... MMM / Lanvin / CP sneakers or Alden / Santoni / Church's lace ups.

Check out Nudie, Naked and Famous, APC, Adriano Goldschmied... those are just a few denim labels that come to mind that will probably have black waxed jeans.

Check out Fred Perry polos (you can find some on parkandbond.com).

Also, if you are well built (that is, at least slightly muscular with a flat stomach), short-sleeved and long-sleeved henlees might work for you. But with the shoes you mentioned, you'd have to be very careful to not look too casual up top.

Most importantly, I'd stay away from cotton. Fabrics like polyester, nylon, etc. (think Under Armour) will dry out faster than cotton. I think Calvin Klein might have some cool modal stuff. If you can't find a suitable fabric, at least stick with dark colors (so that your sweat will be less visible).

Any recommendations for a new dress shirt which can be worn both casual and in a suit?
I currently have a plain black, white, light blue and a horizontal white/black striped dress shirt.

Solid pink OCBD might be a good choice.
