Many leading designers make their mark on bikinis by embroidering simple logos or intricate patterns on the materials used to make the new suits each year. Embroidered bikinis are always popular with fashionable women, this is because the detailing and quality of the workmanship make an embroidered bikini special when compared with a plain lycra suit.
The level of detail in the embroidery varies from designer to designer as well as from season to season. Some designers, like Ralph Lauren, tend to keep the embroidered detail on their bikinis simple – for example, the Ralph Lauren Blue Label Solid Bikini has an embroidered Polo logo, but no additional detail. Calvin Klein’s Perfect Fit Chantilly Lace bikini, on the other hand, has a great deal of contrasting floral embroidery on a sheer layer attached to the main bikini. Similarly, some of the bikinis in the current DKNY collection have logos or other details embroidered in contrast to the main body of the suit. Other trendy fashion labels with embroidered bikinis on offer this season include Diesel, Vix, Betsey Johnson and La Blanca. Popular swimwear labels such as O’Neill, Speedo and Body Glove also make embroidered bikinis.
Buying an embroidered bikini online is easy, but it is important to be familiar with the level of detail and the quality of the stitching on the suit you’re after. Visit a few local shops to get a good idea what the quality is, and pick a designer and bikini style that suit you. When choosing your embroidered bikini online, aim to buy from a merchant with a clear, flexible return policy so you can exchange the bikini if you need to. Also, watch out for hidden fees and excessive shipping charges – these can counter any savings you manage to find shopping online.
