Why I am obsessed with the Skims Spring 2026 Pastels

I have been checking the local European stockists daily, but the Spring 2026 collection is just not hitting the shelves here like it is in the States. The 'Dew' and 'Petal' colors for the Skims Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress are everywhere on my feed, and I realized that the US store has way better stock levels than anything I could find closer to home. I noticed that even shoppers in Singapore were complaining about low stock, so I knew I had to look toward the original US source to get my hands on these pastels. I spent some time looking at us trends to see if the hype was real, and it definitely is.

The myth about US shipping that almost stopped me

For a long time, I believed the common assumption that shipping a single dress from the US to the Netherlands was going to cost more than the dress itself. I thought the paperwork would be a nightmare and that my package would just get lost. We often hear that international shipping is only for big bulk orders, but I found out that is not necessarily true in 2026. My goal was to prove that I could get the specific 'Petal' shade without waiting months for a local restock that might never happen.

How I shopped the US store from the Netherlands

The first hurdle was the checkout. Sometimes US stores are picky about non-US credit cards. I looked into the BuyForMe service just in case I ran into a payment wall, but I managed to get through by using a tax-free us address provided by my freight forwarder. This allowed me to shop just like a local US customer would. I followed a simple step-by-step guide on how to set up my suite number, and it was much easier than I expected.

Shipping Estimates for the Soft Lounge Dress

I know many of you are worried about the logistics, so I put together these estimates based on my own order of the Skims Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress (Spring 2026 Pastels).

I always recommend using a shipping calculator before you hit the buy button so you aren't surprised by the final cost.

Using a freight forwarder for my delivery

Once my dress arrived at the warehouse in the US, I had to choose my shipping method. I checked the international shipping rates and found a few options that suited my budget. I wanted it fast because I have a brunch planned for next weekend where I want to wear the 'Dew' color. I've found that using a dedicated international shipping service gives me more peace of mind than just relying on standard postal services, as the tracking is way more reliable.

My tips for importing to the Netherlands in 2026

Since we are in the Netherlands, we have to keep our local VAT and customs duties in mind. When I shop us store items, I make sure to account for the import costs that the Dutch customs office will apply once the package hits our borders. In 2026, the process is mostly digital, but it is still good to have your invoice ready. By using comGateway, I was able to manage my declaration easily. My package arrived at my door in Amsterdam much faster than the estimated shipping time for the 'global' Skims site, which was still showing the pastels as 'coming soon'.
