Whether you’re going on holiday soon or staying in town for the summer, it’s good to know what’s in the shops for when you fancy buying a nice new outfit! From cool new sandals to beachwear, resort wear and the latest dresses in Singapore – here’s just a snip of what’s on offer.
Sandbar Swimwear & vacay-ready resort wear
Beyond its eco-friendly swimwear for the whole family, homegrown brand Sandbar Swimwear (a winner of our 2025 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Swim & Resort Wear!) offers an equally chic and stylish collection of resort wear. Whether it’s beachwear cover-ups or trousers and skirts, each piece is made from sustainable plant-based materials and available in a range of prints to match its swimwear range.
Born in Singapore and designed in-house, these beachwear pieces have a tropical vibe and can be matched to any family member. There’s women’s swimwear like one-pieces and bikinis in gorgeous ribbed fabrics and reversible prints. The men’s swimwear includes embroidered swim shorts offering a more premium resort wear look. Meanwhile, kids’ swimwear includes everything from UPF50 protective pieces to fun and frilly styles.
Fully sustainable using certified fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles, Sandbar beachwear has recycled over 100,000 bottles in its fabrics. The company also removes one kilogram of plastic with every item sold and has already removed over 38,500 kilograms of marine plastic, including damaging straws, nets and more bottles across Southeast Asia.
The stores are an experience themselves, too. Think tiki bars, sailing boats for the kids to play in, free ice cream while you shop and friendly staff ready to style you for your next holiday. Fun!
Sandbar Swimwear is at Paragon, Tanglin Mall, Great World and Aerotel Singapore at Changi Airport Terminal 1.
