The 2026 Spring palette I am obsessed with
I woke up this morning to the new seasonal drop from Alo Yoga, and I am officially smitten. The 2026 Spring collection for the Airlift Leggings has introduced shades like 'Spiced Chai' and 'Blue Skies' that are already taking over my social media feed. These aren't just your standard gym wear; the Airlift fabric has that signature sheen and compression that makes me feel like I can conquer a HIIT session and a brunch date in the same hour.
I noticed these colors are flying off the digital shelves in the US. Before I made my move, I took a quick look at the latest us trends to see if I should add anything else to my cart. It seems the matching bra tops are just as popular this February, making it the perfect time for a full wardrobe refresh.
Why I shop the US store instead of Singapore retail
I’ve done the math, and the price gap between the US and Singapore is hard to ignore. When I checked the local boutiques in Orchard, the markup on the new Airlift line was nearly 30% higher than the US MSRP. By choosing to shop us store directly, I am essentially getting a premium product at a fraction of the local cost.
We often forget that even with shipping fees, the total landed cost from the States is usually much lower. I put together a quick comparison of what I found today:
| Item | Singapore Retail (Estimated) | US Store Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airlift High-Waist Legging | SGD 210 | USD 128 (approx. SGD 172) | ~18% |
| Airlift Intrigue Bra | SGD 115 | USD 68 (approx. SGD 91) | ~21% |
My secret weapon for stubborn US checkouts: BuyForMe
I used to run into a major roadblock when shopping from Singapore. Some major US retailers—and we have all been there with brands like Nike, Sephora, or even the Apple Store—tend to block international credit cards. I’ve had several orders cancelled because the store didn't like my Singaporean billing address or they flagged the shipment going to a freight forwarder.
To avoid the heartbreak of a "Cancellation Pending" email, I now exclusively use the comGateway BuyForMe service. We essentially let their team in the US handle the transaction. They use a US domestic card to buy the items on my behalf, which virtually guarantees that the order goes through without a hitch. It is the safest way I have found to bypass those annoying checkout blocks and ensure my Spring colors are actually secured before they sell out.
The fastest way I get my parcels to Singapore
Once my leggings arrived at my tax-free us address, I wanted them in Singapore as fast as possible. I don't like waiting weeks for my gear. I always use a reliable international shipping service that offers express options. My experience has been that I can get my package from the US warehouse to my doorstep in Singapore in about 3 to 5 business days.
I also make it a point to check the shipping calculator before I ship. This allows me to estimate shipping cost and decide if I want to consolidate multiple orders to save on the base shipping fee. If I have more questions about the process, I usually find what I need in the FAQ section, which covers everything from package repacking to weight limits.
Estimating costs and GST in 2026
I always keep an eye on the Singapore customs rules. In 2026, we have to remember that GST applies to all imported goods. When I am calculating my total spend, I make sure to factor in the 9% GST on the total value of my Alo Yoga haul, including the cost of insurance and freight. Even with these costs, my total is still significantly lower than buying locally. Plus, I get access to the full range of sizes and colors that rarely make it to the Singapore branches. By using a streamlined logistics path, I can be wearing my new Spiced Chai Airlifts while the local stores are still waiting for their first shipment to arrive.
