HOW DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WEAR BIKINIS

Bikinis are worn all over the world BUT not always in the same way! In fact every country has a unique way in which they wear them! We have chosen 5 countries to give examples!

AUSTRALIA

Australia, despite the relaxed lifestyle they are known for, are quite conservative when it comes to swimwear. Some of their largest brands are SEAFOLLY, JETS, Tigerlily, Billabong and Piping Hot, all of which have mostly full coverage bottom swim suits. There is a small cult of brazilian wearing bikinis along the coast lines but generally Australia will wear a full coverage bottom and moderate coverage top.

BRAZIL

This one is a bit obvious but had to be mentioned! Home of the “Brazilian” cut suit! You won’t have a hard time finding a brazilian cut or thong wearing girl in Brazil, it is a part of life. We admire Brazilian women’s confidence with their body and think every girl should own one of their small cut bathing suits! Some of the biggest Brazilian swimwear brands are CIA.MARITAMA, Agua Bendita and Poko Pano all of which have collections of booty showing bright bikinis!

USA

The US is a bit of a mixed (bikini) bag. Majority of the US wears full coverage suits, one pieces and tankinis, however cities like Miami, California and Hawaii embrace the beach lifestyle and with it the bikinis get smaller and smaller! We love it!

Some of the largest brands within the US are VITAMIN A, Splendid, VIX, Hurley and ATHENA.

FRANCE

France has a unique taste in swimwear, they enjoy more conservative suits, high waisted and full coverage suits are popular. The most reputable brand of swimwear in France is ERES. French woman take a very tasteful and fashionable approach to swimwear.

CHINA

On the beaches of China you will see mostly full coverage suits and one pieces. Chinese women are not at the beach to get a tan, in fact they will stay shaded most of the time to protect their skin. Some women will go to great measures at the beach, even covering their entire bodies including their faces so to protect themselves from harmful UV rays. Basically the opposite to a country like Brazil!

VIX SWIMWEAR: PAULA HERMANNY

VIX SWIMWEAR: PAULA HERMANNY ViX has always been one of our absolute favorite brands, so we were thrilled to have the opportunity to talk to ViX founder, Paula Hermanny. As bikini lovers and designers ourselves, Paula has been an inspiration to us with her incredibly classy and chic resort wear, and her equally as beautiful personality! Here’s what she had to say: Q: What inspired the creation of ViX? I was born in Brazil, on the island capital of Vitória do Espírito Santo. When I was 21, I moved from Brazil to San Diego to study English and fell in love with the city, its beaches, and the laid back attitude of the people – very reminiscent of Brazil. My one dilemma was that I simply could not find a bathing suit that I liked. Every time I went back to Brazil, I would stock up on bikinis and make little tweaks and changes here and there. Soon, all my friends were asking for bikinis just like mine – and that was how ViX was born. I went from customizing swimwear for my ...
