Why I buy my Skims Fits Everybody Bodysuits from the US store instead of Singapore boutiques

Why I am obsessed with the Fits Everybody collection in 2026

I have spent far too many hours lately scrolling through my feed only to see my favorite influencers in Milan and LA sporting the latest seasonal drops from Skims. Specifically, the Fits Everybody Bodysuit has become a staple in my wardrobe because of that buttery, stretchy fabric that somehow fits perfectly every single time. Even though we are well into 2026, the demand for these hasn't slowed down, especially with the limited edition 'Electric Neon' and 'Soft Cocoa' restocks that just hit the US site.

While we do have some local options to buy Skims in Singapore, the variety is often lacking. I noticed that the Singapore-based retailers usually only carry the core colors like Onyx or Clay. If I want those specific seasonal shades that are trending globally, I have to look toward the official US store. Plus, I’ve found that the US site often has better stock availability for the full size range, from XXS to 4X.

The math: Saving money by shopping the US store

I wanted to see if I was actually being a smart shopper by going through the hassle of international shipping. A standard Fits Everybody Bodysuit usually retails for about $58 USD on the official site. At current 2026 exchange rates, that is roughly $78 SGD. When I looked at local luxury boutiques or resellers in Singapore, the exact same bodysuit was listed for upwards of $115 SGD.

Even after I added the costs for a parcel forwarding service and small shipping fees, I was still coming out ahead. By bundling two or three items together, my per-item cost dropped significantly. We often assume that shipping from halfway across the world is too expensive, but when you see a $20 to $30 difference per item, the savings add up quickly.

Shipping Estimates for the Fits Everybody Bodysuit

To help you figure out your own budget, I put together some estimates based on my recent orders. The Fits Everybody line is incredibly lightweight, which is a massive advantage for international logistics.

Factor Estimate Details
Box Weight Approx. 0.3 kg to 0.4 kg (0.7 - 0.9 lbs) for a single bodysuit.
Box Dimensions Small. These items are usually shipped in a poly mailer or a very small box (approx. 25x20x5 cm).
Volumetric Warning Very Low Risk. Since the fabric is thin and highly compressible, you won't get hit with high volumetric weight charges unless you buy a massive box for just one item.
Battery Check No lithium batteries. There are no restrictions for shipping these garments.

Before you hit the checkout button, I highly recommend you use a shipping calculator to get a precise quote based on your total cart weight.

How I use a parcel forwarding service to get US exclusives

The biggest hurdle I faced initially was that the Skims US store sometimes has different shipping policies or higher direct-to-Singapore rates than I’d like to pay. To get around this, I started using comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free us address which I enter at the Skims checkout. This is a huge win because it means I don't have to pay US sales tax on my purchase.

Once my bodysuit arrives at the warehouse, I get a notification to forward packages to my home in Singapore. Using a freight forwarder gives me more control over the timing and the carrier used. I can even choose to consolidate my Skims order with other US brands I love, which further reduces the international shipping rates I pay overall.

Handling GST and customs when shipping to Singapore

One thing I always keep in mind is our local import rules. As of 2026, we have to be mindful of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on all imported goods. I always make sure to factor this into my budget so there are no surprises when the package arrives at my door. Check our guide on GST/VAT to see the current thresholds and how they might affect your total cost.

I have found that even with the 9% GST applied to the total value including shipping fees, the total price is still lower than the local retail price in Singapore's high-end malls. It pays to do the math yourself before you decide where to buy. For me, the combination of lower prices and access to the full 2026 color palette makes the US-to-Singapore route the clear winner.
