Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Roxy Swimsuits
Even on the most crowded of beaches, Roxy swimsuits are always easy to spot. They're the swimsuits that somehow manage to be fashionable as well as practical. They're the swimsuits that are just a little bit different from all the rest, clearly marking their wearers as women of style and fashion, as well as lovers of the surf. They're some of the best selling swimsuits around, and when you look at the current collection, it's easy to see why.
Roxy is a relatively new brand, although it has quickly grown so popular that you can be forgiven for thinking it has been around for much longer. Actually, the brand launched in 1990 when the popular surfwear manufacturer, Quicksilver, decided it needed a women's line in order to capture the female end of the market it had already cornered with its surf shorts and hoodies. Roxy was the result, and in the sixteen years since its conception, the line has prospered, with Roxy footwear, eyewear and denim joining the swimsuits and sports wear it started off with.
The brand is fun, sporty and daring, aimed at girls and women who like to keep active and enjoy life. With bikinis, coverups and even wet suits to choose from, there's more than enough choice to see you through the summer, but be forewarned, the swimsuits you'll find at Roxy aren't for the fainthearted. Having been designed with body-conscious surfer babes in mind, these suits are small and skimpy, with bold, attention-getting designs. That doesn't mean that those of us without the body beautiful should steer clear, however, take a closer look and you'll see that Roxy's bikinis are actually very flattering, with boy shorts and hipsters playing a big part in the range.
For those who prefer to cover up completely, the current collection also includes this season's summer essential, a gauzy Gypsy tunic, to wear over your bikini, teamed with big sunglasses and a floppy sun hat, Nicole Ritchie style.
The Roxy Website
Although Roxy swimsuits can be found in malls and department stores across the world, the Roxy website is a great first stop for those who'd like to browse the collection from the comfort of their own home. Swimwear can be found under two separate tabs on the website, "collections" and "water", although you'll find the same pretty bikinis and coverups in both sections.
You won’t find much in the way of one pieces at the Roxy website. Halter neck bikinis are the order of the day here, and there are a number of different styles to choose from, from the chocolate brown 'Hula Halter' to a colorful 70's style bikini.
One of the best features of the Roxy website is its "related items" feature. Click on a bikini, for example, and you'll be shown beach bags, sunglasses, and flip flops to match it, making it easy to accessorize your summer swimwear wardrobe.
Where to Find Roxy Swimsuits
Unfortunately, you can't order online from the Roxy website, although there is a store locator to allow you to track down that bikini or pair of sunglasses that you've fallen in love with. If there isn't a store near you, though, worry not, you'll find Roxy swimsuits in most departments stores and other outlets, as well as via online stores such as:
