Billabong Swimsuits
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
Serious surfers know them as the leading manufacturers of surf wear, but Billabong swimsuits have been growing in popularity thanks to their great design, quality and style. Billabong can meet all your swim and surf needs.
Styles of Billabong Swimsuits
Most Billabong bikinis are sold as separate pieces, allowing you to mix and match as you like. Of course, you may want to pair a bikini top with some cute board shorts instead of a skimpy bottom, and Billabong's board shorts are some of the most popular on the market.
As you might expect from a company based in sunny Australia, the bulk of women's swimsuits are bikinis. However, you can get some great one-piece suits as well. Below are some designs worth checking out.
- The Lydia - This is actually called a "one-piece bikini". It is in fact a bandeau one piece with a daring low cut out hole under the halter strap and an open back. It has a slightly retro style perfect for ladies who want to mix a vintage and modern look. Users love it but have two warnings. One: it can run small. Two: it can take a little more time than you're usually prepared to give to readjust after using the lavatory. But it's worth the effort.
- The Sands - You can also call it a monokini, but women who have bought it call it sexy and a great fit. The A-line cut in front is very flattering, and if you opt for the striped pattern, it slims and shapes you. The shoulder straps are adjustable so you can achieve a more perfect fit.
- The Tiger - This falls in the category of ultra sexy one-pieces. It's basically a bikini with a thin strip of fabric connecting the top and bottom running down the front. Fun though it is, women who have tried it warn that if you have a long torso or a small bust, it may not work on you.
Looking at Separates
Not everyone likes shopping for bikini tops and bottoms separately, but considering the difference you may have in sizes, it can be quite practical.
Of the variety of tops made by Billabong, one of the most popular is the Cheetah bandeau top. It is a rare and flattering V-bandeau and features a sexy animal print and a contrasting spaghetti strap accessorized with beads. It also has a back clasp for extra security. You can also remove the strap and be confident the top will stay in place.
For women who want some real variety in their tops, the Madison Reversible triangle top is a great option. It's exactly what it claims to be: a top with a pattern on each side.
When it comes to bottoms, Billabong swimsuits are on the brief side. The design is said to guard against slippage, but there still isn't much fabric. However, women who have worn the Wipe Out Boy Bottom say that it will stay on during wipe outs, which is an important consideration for surfer girls.
If you're more into tanning than surfing, you might try the Swirl Tie Lowrider Bottom that promises full seat coverage, but still shows off a lot of side skin. Users find them sexy but warn that you may want to go an extra size up to be sure of getting that full coverage.
If you want yet more coverage but still want to be sexy, the Old School Board Short is a good option. It's low-cut and short, but still cute.
Shopping for Billabong
Billabong swimsuits are available in most of the better swimwear shops and all over the Internet. If you do choose to shop online, look for a shop that offers free exchanges and returns so that if you have a sizing issue, you can take care of it without spending extra. You need to have money left to get yourself some high-quality sunscreen!
