Triangle Bikini
When you think of a classic women’s swimsuit, a triangle bikini is likely what comes to mind. It has adjustable straps that tie at the back and the neckline, forming the triangle shape that we all know and love. A triangle bikini top can especially compliment women with an hourglass figure and help define their alluring silhouette features. If you’re looking for DD bikini tops or fuller cup sizes, the triangle bikini top offers extensive sizes and is the perfect option for you.
This bikini has minimal coverage and can truly add the sexy aspect that many women search for when sitting by the pool or on the beach in their new bathing suit. Though the triangle suit is simple, it delivers a classic, sexy fit that will never go out of style.
Off the Shoulder Bikini
The off-the-shoulder bikini is a trendy take on swimwear that is absolutely a must-have in your closet. The Bardot-esque shoulder exposure is both flirty and feminine, making it a big trend for unique bikini tops. This casual crop top can also be paired to create a look that's perfect for festivals or pool parties. The shoulder top is a guaranteed head-turner and will give you a fashion-forward edge for a day in the sun. Show off your shoulders when you wear this perfect bikini to your next pool party, and get ready to receive all the compliments!
Bandeau Tops
Did someone say strapless? It’s time for a bandeau bikini to come in and save the day. This sexy style of bathing suit top forms around your bust like a band, so most women turn to this classic bikini to help get rid of unwanted tan lines. Although these swim tops sometimes have the option to be worn with very thin straps, they usually are also removable. What makes the bandeau bikini so amazing is its versatility and ability to match any outfit or swimsuit bottoms.
Ripple Bikini
This isn't necessarily its own individual style of bikini, but fun swimsuit fabrics that can be added to bikinis for extra flair. Women with broader shoulders may be interested in the ripple style bikini because it adds wavy edges and balances the proportion of their upper body. These swim tops and bottoms’ have elegant features that are guaranteed to add a chic look to your luxury swimwear.
Halter Top Bikini
Halter top bikinis offer a flattering neckline that accentuates your shoulders and provides stylish support for a chic, effortless beach look. This flattering swimsuit style is different from your average bikini, making it fashionably eye-catching!
T-Back Bikini
Yet another exclusive bikini style, the t-back bikini is one that includes a modish and trendy strap design in the back. At ViX, we like to use a gorgeous knot and beading detailed finish on our t-back bikinis.
One Piece Swimsuit
Our one-piece women’s swimsuits range from full coverage to Brazilian one piece swimsuits. Some of our one pieces have far less coverage than your traditional one-piece swimsuit. Including cut-out sides with hardly any coverage, that make them just like a perfect bikini. It is a flattering swimsuit style that is on the rise and becoming more and more popular, even on professional models. One pieces are great for showing off your figure, whether you have a pear shape, hourglass shape, or straight shape body type!
Bikini Bottoms
With most of our bikinis, you can choose your favorite style of swimsuit bottoms — either cheeky bikini, Brazilian, or full bottoms. We typically offer two different types of bikini bottoms for each of our styles so that you can choose your favorite or mix and match. A trendy bikini bottom style is the high-waisted bikini bottom, which is flattering to various body shapes like an apple-shaped body type or hourglass body type. However, a cheeky bikini bottom is perfect for those with curvier hips and women who are looking for a bolder look that emphasizes most silhouettes. Tan, swim, and lounge in style in any of these ViX bikini styles. We offer the best bikini bottoms for every body type with stripes, solid bikini colors, textured bikinis or patterned so that you can find the style that best suits your desired look.
ViX’s Pick: Bia Tube Bikini
If you aren’t familiar with this style, that’s because it’s exclusive to ViX. When most people hear tube associated with clothing, they think of a tube top, but this is completely unrelated. The Bia Tube Bikini features adjustable sliding tube details that give you the option to adjust the tubes and modify the suit to fit your needs. These bikini types are truly figure-flattering because of that customization factor.
When shopping for swimwear, it is important to find the perfect fit for your body type. With our wide selection of different swimsuit types, you can find the best suit that makes you feel confident in the sun.
