Where to Buy Bikinis & Beach Accessories

2017-06-15 ShanghaiWOWeng


Blue sky, warm weather; the time for pool parties has arrived. Do we need a new swim suit to show off? Certainly. However, Shanghai has so many options, where can you even begin? But weve got you girl! Here is a list of brands which sell bikinis to make your summer look pop. Check this out!

 

H&M



Quality: 4/10, but we know that going in. I mean, we’re going to change swimsuits every year anyway, so why get so picky about quality?

 


Price Range :

Tops From RMB150

Bottoms RMB 99

One piece RMB 199- 350

Size : They say from 32 to 44, but we never saw bigger than 40 in their shops. You can find some size 42 pieces online, but the 44’s are nowhere to be seen.  

Address: Everywhere you look these days.


Hollister

 


Quality: 4/10 - Hollister’s product are very fragile (but their prices are not). Hence if you care about it, you’ll have to wash it by hand.

 


Price Range:

Tops RMB 199 - 250

Bottoms RMB 149

One piece RMB 370

Size: XS, S, M, L, XL available. However their Asian standards are smaller than in the US.

Address: XizangZhong lu N 268, Zhongshanbei Lu N 3300, HuahaiZhong Lu N999

 

Forever 21

 


Quality: 5/10 - Forever 21 has one caveat: put it into the washing machine twice, never wear it again (except as pajama’s during your period). However they have a very cute design and good price; so we still love you, Forever 21.  

 


Price Range:

Tops From RMB 120

Bottoms RMB 99

One piece RMB 169

Size: S,M, L, XL possible. Their sizes are pretty similar to Western ones.

Address: NanjingDong Lu N233, Huahai Zhong Lu N900, Yuyuan Lu N68


Oysho


Quality: 8/10 Oysho is a Spanish brand of high quality, charming lingerie in the upper-middle price range. Despite the store's small size, Oysho boasts some of the nicest designs for lingerie in town. Although the swimwear selection for the Chinese market is not as good as their lingerie. Check online, you’re sure to find something from their wide array of options.

 


Price Range:

Two pieces: RMB250- RMB 300

They don‘t have any one piece garments. However, if you compare to the brands presented above, swim suits are the same price range but the quality is much better.

Size: S, M, L possible. Almost western standards.

Address: NanjingXi Lu N 990,Zunyi N 100

 

Uniqlo

 


Quality: 8/10: Uniqlo is simply one of the best clothing stores in China. It’s one of the very few foreign brands which has lower prices in China compared to overseas, and a design that fits in perfectly with everyday life. However, their swimsuits are neither the funkiest nor the prettiest in town. This despite their beach-wear being a collaboration with Princesse tam tam, a prestigious French brand.

 


Price Range:

Tops RMB150

Bottoms RMB 80

One piece (very covering): RMB250

Size: S, M, L with small standards

Address: Nanjing Xi Lu N 969

 

Sixty Eight

Quality: 8/10  For a local brand sixty eight has surprisingly good quality products at very affordable prices! Their designs are reminiscent of Victoria’s Secret, well, the most girly ones are at least.

 


Price Range:

One piece: RMB128

Two pieces: RMB130

Size: Cup goes until C, bottom until M.  

Address:There are many in town.


Abercombie & Fitch

 


Quality: 3/10: Actually, the quality is not THAT bad but when compared to how much you spend - it is a scandal! Same as H&M’s but for two or three times the price .Ok, the shop is beautiful but then what else?

 


Price Range:

Tops RMB350

Bottoms RMB200

One piece RMB 600

Size: XXS, XS, S, M, L available. Abercombie’s standards might be the smallest of the market, so just imagine the Asian version

Address: Shiji Avenue N 8, NanjingXi Lu N 1515


PINK By Victoria’s Secret

 


Some people will say Victoria’s Secret also does swimsuits. That's what we thought also. However, after being at the shop, we didn’t find any of them. The shop is gigantic though so it may be our fault.  We looked online and found out that PINK, Victoria’s girly sister company, does make sweet swimsuits.  But, well, you can’t buy them online. Shipping is not possible to China. So that’s that.

 

Calzedonia

 


Quality: 5/10 Calzedonia is considered of average quality and nothing more. Nothing fantastic or terrible to say about it.

 


Price Range:

Tops RMB 500

Bottoms RMB 200

One piece RMB600

Ouch, considering what they offer.

Size: S, M, talking about cups it seems they have only B. Well. Ok.

Address: NanjingXi Lu N789, HuahaiZhong Lu N 831


Zara Home

 


Zara Home sells Bikinis (we have a photo to prove it), however right now their NanjingXi Lu shop is under renovation. Sorry!

 

Finch Designs

 


Quality: 9/10 This is what you get when you focus on people who are in love with their product. All their swimwear is made from Repreve recycled PET bottles (post-consumer use), offer UPF 50+ sun protection, and are manufactured in socially and environmentally responsible factories. Awesome.

 


Price Range:

Tops RMB 350

Bottoms RMB 350

One piece RMB 900

Size: From 0 to 14, following the US standards. Promise.  

Address: Jiashan Lu N 169
