Our Roidal Swimwear 2020 collection is being a total success! You keep telling us how much you love it and we’ve even had to replenish some stock. As you know, Roidal is one of the big names in the luxury swimwear industry. Roidal bikinis and swimsuits are well known for their amazing fitting. If you’ve ever worn them you must have probably experienced it: Roidal swimwear fits like a glove and, what is more, Roidal prints are always stunning. Look at these beauties! Check out how amazing are these two 2020 swimwear prints below. Roidal Lilian Range, A Romantic Floral Print We Simply Love Are there any more fans of floral prints in the room? You must suspect that we have ‘a thing’ for florals, especially if you’ve read this post we wrote about this romantic print… or this other one. One of the reasons why we just can’t have enough of floral prints is the fact that you can have totally different styles, only by choosing larger or smaller sized flowers, more leaf, a well-known flower or more exotic tropical flowers and leaves. Simply look at these two gorgeous swimwear styles, above and below, and compare the print. Roidal Lillian Vera Swimsuit (above) – Can you see how the floral motifs stand out in the black background? Very elegant, with a sort of Spanish vibe, right? Roidal Lillian Andrea Bandeau Bikini (below) – Can you believe it’s the same print. All the larger and smaller flowers come together, to create the perfect combination of multicoloured floral print over a white background. Very stylish! If you like these two swimwear styles, you may want to check out our Roidal Lillian Agata Swimsuit (Ideal for DD+ Cups) and, of course, our matching pareo: the wonderfully-designed Roidal Lillian Ursula Pareo. You need to take a serious look at this pareo. It’s simply stunning. Roidal Sirgana Range, An Animal Print With A Contemporary Twist Animal prints are huge this season. We’re seeing leopard prints in coats, trousers, tops, shoes… why not join the trend with leopard print swimwear, too? The Roidal Sirgana Arcus Swimsuit in the picture is the most beautiful design in the whole Roidal swimwear 2020 collection, we believe. We simply love this print, but, we love the colour palette even more. This timeless monochrome background of the swimsuit, always flattering, then finished with trendy lime and blue motifs. This swimsuit can turn heads and get all the looks around the pool. Finally, the neckline. The lovely heart-shaped neckline is finished in style and the adjustable straps don’t dig in. What else can you ask? If you loved the Roidal Sirgana print: Roidal Sirgana Breda underwired bikini Roidal Sirgana Gabinia Pareo – As seen on the picture above. Roidal Sirgana Miranda Dress – Modern off the shoulder sun dress So, tell us. What do you think of these two Roidal swimwear 2020 prints? Have you also fallen in love with them?

There are two types of people: Those who love floral swimsuits and those who hate floral prints in swimsuits, bikinis and beachwear. As you can imagine, we are in the first group. We just lose it for a lovely floral print! If you share our love for floral printed swimsuits, we are 100% sure you’ll love to take a close look at all these fantastic styles in the Gottex 2018 swimwear collection. Gottex Hawaii Floral Swimsuit How do you like the floral print in the Gottex Hawaii swimsuit above? This floral motif is part of a wider collection, including four swimsuits (one of them a mastectomy swimsuit) and a lovely silk maxi pareo. Little can we say about this style you haven’t already noticed yourself. Maybe we can insist on the beauty of the orchid flowers in this floral swimsuit and the perfect combination of bright colours, from the pink and red of the floral motifs to the intense blue of the background. Notice how this blue background changes from the top neckline area to the bottom, this is, in the hips area. Gottex Sangria Floral Swimsuit Just like the Gottex Hawaii print before, this Gottex Sangria floral swimsuit is presented in diagonal. Is this good or bad, you ask? This is simply perfect! You see, when a print crosses your body in diagonal, it gives you an hourglass effect. Your waist seems slimmer, without the need for compression. It’s more a visual effect than an actual tummy control. The stunning Sangria print is available in four swimsuit styles, including mastectomy and bandeau, and the cutest beach kaftan. Gottex Contour Emerald Island Swimsuit This floral swimsuit is totally different from any other floral swimsuits in this year’s collection. It’s part of the Gottex Contour collection, which is the name Gottex gives to all its tummy control swimsuits. It’s important to say that Gottex Contour swimsuits have a light support, so they feel absolutely comfortable. Rather than a strong shapewear, like Miraclesuit or Amoressa swimsuits, the Gottex Contour Emerald Island swimsuit will give you a smooth look in the waist, belly and hips area. How beautiful is this blue floral print! Gottex Lanai V Neck Swimsuit Gottex Le Jardin Bandeau Swimsuit  Gottex Spring Embrace Surplice Swimsuit  Gottex Vintage Glam Rhinestone Deep Plunge Swimsuit Gottex Blush Island Hoping Zipper Bikini  Gottex Gypsy Queen High Waisted Bikini   What’s your favourite Gottex floral swimsuit of the season?

Post-mastectomy swimwear doesn’t have to be ugly, unflattering or poor quality. Swimwear designer Clover Lewis has proved it. Her new swimwear capsule Olympians Rule 2016 is a combination of lovely corals and turquoises and top quality materials. From secure breast form pockets, to chafe-free seams, high necklines and adjustable features. A new concept of luxury mastectomy swimwear is born. These are the four main reasons why we have fallen in love with Clover Lewis Swimwear! A swimwear brand born from personal experience Clover is full of energy and youthfulness. After surviving breast cancer, she found herself unable to find the right swimwear to match her vibrant style. She loved fashion, so she thought: Why not? And so Clover Lewis was created. A new brand of luxury swimwear for women who have gone through a mastectomy or other breast cancer surgeries designed by Clover’s expert hands. Clover turned a personal tragedy into a triumph by designing a self-named high end swimwear line for post-surgery women like herself. Michelle Broomes (The Lingerie Journal) Clover Lewis was awarded Post Surgery Brand of the Year 2015 at UK Lingerie Awards Clover Lewis poses with her UKLA Post Surgery Brand of the Year (Source: Lingerie Insight) Being nominated in the UK Lingerie Awards is something any fashion brand should be proud of. Clover was nominated for two categories in the 2015 edition: New Designer of the Year and Post Surgery Brand of the Year. Clover Lewis won the UKLA Post Surgery Brand of the Year by the Lingerie Insight, which is a great achievement for a new brand. Fashion swimwear as seen on fashion magazines Some of Clover Lewis’ fantastic designs, featured in a fashion show We are not the only ones who love Clover Lewis’ Olympians Rule 2016 collection. Actually, it has been featured in British Vogue, The Swimwear Yearbook, Lingerie Insight, The Lingerie Journal and Underlines Magazine. Besides, Clover’s inspiring story has also inspired features in The Huffington Post’ fashion and Woman&Home magazine. You’ll be hearing about Clover more and more! Look good outside. Feel great inside. Clover Lewis Dive Halter Neck Mastectomy Swimsuit in Ocean Blue Clover has the firm belief that feeling gorgeous on the outside can make all the difference to your confidence and happiness inside. That’s why her bikinis and swimsuits are so gorgeous and well made. Not only has she taken well care of all the needs of women who have gone through breast surgery, but also of the needs of women who love stylish swimwear. Glamour and comfort joined together to make you feel good. Take a look at Clover Lewis Post-Surgery Swimwear collection and see by yourself why we love it so much?

Bali is perhaps the world’s most beautiful place. It’s arguable, of course, but it’s up there with the best. It’s a land of enchantment that’s rich in natural beauty, so if you name something after it, you better have something amazing to offer. Roidal Bali has taken its name from the very same island paradise, so how does it perform? Like everything Roidal we’ve ever sold, it certainly meets expectations. This design contains all the beauty and richness of its namesake, distilled into just one garment. How do you achieve something like that? All the wildlife, the sounds of the island, its heat and its sea breezes. The only things a designer really has to work with are pattern and colour. Roidal Bali, A Design Jam Packed With Nature Roidal always makes the most of these things and the result is a wonderful and professionally crafted masterpiece. The solid black backdrop sets the scene for the explosion of colour to come. The shape of the pattern is a mesmerising one and it really draws you in, as enchanting as any nature scene. But the true power of this collection resides in its magnificent use of colour. Each part of the palette is rich and striking, nothing is washed out. Everything has its own space, with particular attention given to the greens so that nature isn’t forgotten or left behind. The whole diverse choice of hues and shades represents nature’s versatility and it’s glorious range of beautiful things. This design is an astounding one that you can find something new every time you look at it. That’s a rare thing and only talented designers can make it happen. To have it in a swimsuit, kaftan on pareo, something you’ll wear at the beach with nature surrounding you is a real treat. Roidal Bali is a triumph from this wonderful designer.

Summer Swimwear Trends 2023 It’s been a red hot summer this year in Britain. Everyone has gone crazy for new swimwear. Especially after several years of going nowhere thanks to lockdowns. Now, everyone is making the most of the scorching weather. Most of us are thinking about what’s hot right now. In the fashion trends sense, that is. We’ve been taking a sneak preview at what’s in store for summer swimwear trends in 2023. Most recently, it was the Moda Calida Swim Show in Gran Canaria. That show alone provided us with enough inspiration to suggest a few things to you. Here are the trends we spotted. Colourful 1980’s Retro One of the biggest summer swimwear trends for 2023. Think 80’s inspired numbers. Maybe psychedelic prints. Then make sure to ensure some floral influences too. And it wouldn’t be the 80s unless it came in bright colours, would it? All whilst coming to us with various pop culture influences in tow. All these patterns are present in one place or another, and we adore them all. Sometimes they are together, like a leafy pattern with a bright neon colour scheme. Or you might find a more technological 80s number, the techno era mixed in with a beach motif like a snake skin. But many will just sport one particular pattern or style from the past. This one above is the Gottex Maritime. It features a geometric pattern that was popular in the 80s and 90s. It is gorgeous and colourful and really very head turning. And it gives you a genuine feel of what the styles of the time might have been like. The Gottex swimsuit pictured above is Maritime, which you can purchase right here. Bold Stripes, Both Horizontal Or Vertical Bold stripes, vertical or horizontal, are very much in. Geometric shapes in very strong colours are looking to be even stronger this season than they have been for years. We think that both kinds of stripes are going to be big this summer, too. Horizontal stripes are more widely available and look lovely on their own. They are also really easy to wear and are a bit more versatile. If you have really deep horizontal stripes, they look just fine. Although if you have very wide vertical stripes, they often can look to blocky. But what could be more flattering than a swimsuit sporting vertical stripes? But really, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. The thing to remember about this season and its stripes are that they should be blocky. It is the big and wide and robust stripes that are really making themselves known. Blocky stripes and bold stripes really turn heads, after all. Both horizontal and vertical bold stripes are present here in our collection, and they both look gorgeous. This is a trend we’re huge fans of. Like the above item? It goes by the name Tessy Golden Lines, and you can click here to take a closer look. It’s Time To Get Tribal Tribal patterns are always a great choice, really, but it does go through cycles of being more popular and less so. Well now is one of those times where tribal swimsuits are back in style in a big way. It is a massive part of summer swimwear trends in 2023. We recommend a good mix of colours in any print you decide on. Why exactly? Well the great benefit of a tribal bikini or one piece is that it is versatile. A complex design doesn’t immediately shout “versatile”. But the presence of so many different colours means that one or more of them with jump out and compliment the surrounding world. The blues will match the ocean. If there are any reds then they will compliment the sunset. And the greens pick up on the vegetation and flora around you. It creates a complimentary look each time. The swimsuit above is the Sunflair Precious Dark. Click here to see it for yourself.
