Roidal Swimwear 2019 Collection: Love At First Sight

roidal swimwear 2019

The wait is over. Roidal Swimwear 2019 collection is here and, yes, you guessed it, you’re going to love every print, every cute bikini and swimsuit… they are too pretty not to fall in love with them. Let us tell you how it felt like love at first sight for us. Our first impressions when we discovered Roidal Swimwear 2019 collection When we visited Roidal’s headquarters in Spain for a tour around their workshop a few months ago, we had access to the collection. As you know, UK Swimwear was one of the first Roidal stockists in the UK. Before Roidal was introduced to the UK, many women wondered around, looking where to buy Roidal swimwear and beachwear. The story of this Spanish high-end brand is similar to ours. We both are family-owned companies, we sell our styles all around the world and, most important, we put all our energy into what we love the most: stunning designer swimwear and beachwear. Our visit to Roidal included a tour around their workshop, where we could see in person the precise and hard work behind each of their designs. It was amazing to see all the process, from the design of the print, to the final stitches. As you can imagine, we were thrilled to chat with the women and men who create such stunning designs with their own hands. And then, it’s the prints. Look at them. Aren’t them amazing? Five Amazing prints in Roidal 2019 Swimwear we love: Roidal Blue Flower collection Blue Flower is the most eye-catching print in the whole Roidal 2019 swimwear and beachwear collection. The style in the picture is the Blue Flower Bluma Swimsuit, which is a new swimsuit type for us. We love the double contrast: between the white, the turquoise and the cobalt blue; and, at the same time, the contrast between the floral print and the darker background. The secret behind Roidal’s perfect placement prints And talking about prints, let us share with you a secret Roidal shared with us when visit them in Spain. Roidal adapts the size of each print to every style, to make sure it looks its best. This way, the size of each petal in a Roidal Blue Flower bikini will be smaller than the same exact detail in the print in the matching kaftan. Interesting, right? What is more, Roidal adapts the print to each size and, even, cup size, so that the placement print always looks the same. When you have your Roidal swimsuit in your hands, why don’t you take some time to appreciate all the work behind it? Roidal Amapola collection Amapola is another amazing floral print in Roidal 2019 swimwear collection. It’s a classic floral style, ideal for those who want a timeless style they can wear season after season. It looks elegant and sophisticated when worn with the right beachwear. You can choose to pair Roidal Amapola swimsuits and bikinis with beachwear in a matching print, which is available and ready to buy at UK Swimwear, or plain beachwear in one of the colours in the Amapola print: White, navy, orange, green, turquoise, fuchsia, etc. Roidal Coral collection Coral is one of those prints you have to see in real. The photographs don’t do justice here. This print looks even better when you look at them in person. You’ll have to trust us when we say that this is the most elegant print in the Roidal 2019 collection. This sleeveless sun dress is one or your favourite Roidal beachwear styles. Take a look at the whole collection to see more amazing styles with this rich coral and star nautical pattern. Roidal Zebra Palm collection This print puts together three of the top prints: Leaf prints Animal prints: leopard, snakeskin and zebra prints are always on trend, but these days they are especially hot. Monochrome: Although not technically a print, monochrome swimwear has been hot for a few seasons already and it’s come to stay. We love the look of the bandeau swimsuit above, which is one of Roidal’s signature looks. It adapts to all cup sizes and removable straps, so it feels comfortable and it’s ideal to sunbath, too. Roidal Paradise collection If you lose it for a colourful print, you’re going to love this range. It screams summer and it’s ideal for both light and dark skin tones, precisely because of the orange and red tones. A sophisticated print we swear by! Roidal Classic Styles, back to stock: In addition to all the new prints, we have re-stocked some of our essential best-selling styles. You may not know this, but Roidal is one of our top brands in the UK and the US and Brasil, which is the name of Roidal’s Ombre effect swimwear and beachwear range, is always in the list on the top seller styles. We have stocked up on Roidal Brasil bikinis and swimsuits and, of course, its matching beachwear is ready to buy as well. So, what do you think of Roidal Swimwear 2019 collection?

It Came From The Jungle

If I said to you that one of the most exciting ranges of swimwear this season was on our site and it had arrived to a fantastic fanfare, where would you guess it was from? Italy? France? Maybe Portugal or Spain? That last one is close, but no. How about Peru? It Came From The Jungle Aguaclara Swimwear and Beachwear is a South American brand that’s rocketed in popularity over the past few weeks! And why not? Some on the very best emerging bands are coming from this area of the world nowadays. Poko Pano, a Brazilian brand, has been with us for a number of seasons now and people love their swimwear. It seems Aguaclara are going to heading a very popular new movement of great bikinis and swimsuits! Their sudden jump to the top of the swimwear world might have something to do with their superb quality, but let’s not overlook their designing. Their range is built on vibrant colours and dazzlingly complex patterns. Everything they have to offer has been touched by their homeland. Sumptuous jungle-ready emeralds and animal patterns. There happens to be few minimalist designs for those who like to keep their look simple, but Aguaclara is designing for a particular style and chic. Designs like Selva Virgen from Aguaclara blend those greens and animal prints. Leopard is always popular, but you don’t tend to see it as a part of a larger zoological ensemble. It’s a very refreshing site to see such a cacophony of colour! And check out that brown shoulder clasp. An adjustable feature that can sit on either shoulder and create an asymmetry in your costume. Breaking down symmetry can be the perfect way to make your costume stand out beautifully. Let’s Take A Look At Aguaclara Swimwear And Their More Simplistic Designs Paraiso is Spanish for “paradise”. Not a bad name for this piece. Aguaclara swimwear is elegant and a pleasure to wear, and on a beautiful beach, what could be closer to paradise? Playa Mediterranea. It has a Mediterranean appeal, but the diamonds and circles look more Mayan or Aztec to me. Peru’s always had a great tradition of art and you can see Aguaclara’s designers taking advantage of that. All in all, this new collection is a beautiful mixture. Mostly, it’s a brand for people who love their colours, and it’s definitely ready for the beach first. See the rest of the collection here, and tell us what you think.

In The Heat Of The Night – Red Swimwear

heat night 8211

There’s nothing quite like red. Little black dresses have their special own charm, of course, but the colour red has a certain powerful attraction and red swimwear is not an exception. Gottex loves their classic designs, so a swimsuit that’s almost completely unadorned is nothing new for them. It’s the best way to make a garment timeless, but never have they released a simple red swimsuit like this one before. We don’t know why this is, but thankfully, whatever has been keeping it from their range is no longer a problem. This incredible swimsuit looks absolutely fantastic on and unlike a lot of swimsuits you see nowadays, this isn’t a garment you have to select it based on skin tone or body shape. Why is red swimwear so popular? Red is popular and complimentary no matter what. On olive skin tones, it has a smokey and exotic feel; on darker, African skin it has a startling sense contrast and appears sharp and powerful; on the fairer woman, it’s warm and brings a rosiness and vitality to the wearer. It’s a versatile piece of design and it has an essence that far too much swimwear lacks passion. Sugary pinks and sunshine yellows are the provinces of beachside fashion at the moment, and whilst they’re beautiful too, there’s something more intense and serious about blood red that you simply miss out on with other colours. The perfect swimsuit for a tropical destination with sweltering day times and fiery sunsets.  Other red swimwear styles we love: At UK Swimwear, we love a good style of red swimwear, especially when you can match it with lovely beachwear. Black, white, navy and beige are the best colours to contrast with red swimwear. They all make red stand out. Floral and animal print beachwear are a perfect match for your red swimsuits and red bikinis. Here you have a few more red swimwear styles we swear by!
