Where are the best places to buy swimwear in Singapore?

Singapore is a perennially hot and humid city state that you can often see locals and expats lounging at a pool or spending a full day at Sentosa. If you are planning to update your bikini collection for a quick frolic at the beach, I suggest you visit any of my go-to favorite swimwear shops in Singapore.

Bella Kini

I love Bella Kini for their affordable prices and the variety of their items. This store was once a hole-in-the-wall shop at Bugis Street. It later evolved into a cozy and intimate swimwear boutique which has won a CLEO Fashion Award as Best Bikini Shop in Singapore. Bella Kini carries local and international brands of bikinis, one-piece suits, surf and resort wear. You can visit their store on Haji Lane or shop online.

K.BLU

K.BLU is a local brand of swimwear that focuses on design, quality fabrics, and good fit. It was founded in 2014 by Lyn Rosmarin, a water sports enthusiast. No wonder that their pieces offer good coverage and excellent support. I particularly like the range of their swimsuit sizes which come in UK Size 6 to18. There is absolutely something for every body type! You can buy K.BLU swimwear at their shop at The Paragon or online. (K.BLU Summer Lounge, 290 Orchard Rd, #03-48 Paragon Mall, Singapore 238859)

Ocean Paradise

If you are buying swimsuits for the whole family, then Ocean Paradise is for you. They sell swimwear brands for men and women like Tom & Teddy, Body Glove and Tommy Bahama. Kids’ swimwear brands include Snapper Rock, Cabana Life, Stingray, Funky Trunks, and Funkita. Women’s sizes are available from UK Size 8 to 18. They also sell the Miraclesuit brand which promises to make you look 5 kilograms lighter! I must admit that it is the primary reason why I shop at this store, for those days when I need to hide some bulge. You can shop online or visit one of their shops. Their branch at The Paragon sells items exclusive for kids. (Ocean Paradise Family Store, 163 Tanglin Rd, #01-07 Tanglin Mall, Singapore 247933)

Seafolly

Seafolly is admittedly one of the most popular swimwear brands that originated from Australia. I love how I can buy their separate pieces then mix and match them to create several different looks. Say goodbye to boring one-piece swimsuits! Seafolly has three branches in Singapore and a concession outlet in Takashimaya.
