Make a Splash

Is your poolside wardrobe in dire need of a makeover? Huxley to the rescue!

Did packing for summer getaways see you pulling out old, worn-out swimwear from your drawers and recoiling? We feel you. Despite our love for vacations and lounging by the beach, we’re constantly underprepared for swimsuit season. What’s more, it makes it twice as hard that cute cozzies and cover-ups in decent size ranges can be difficult to find in Singapore’s shops. That’s why we’re thrilled with our latest style finds from Willow & Huxley, sourced by the boutique’s savvy team of buyers from across the globe.

New and exclusive is La-based label Boys + Arrows, a range of skimpier styles for the body confident, available in look-at-me bright colours and patterns that can be mixed and matched. Also on the racks are premium French swimwear brands Pain de Sucre and Albertine, both of which will add a touch of European glam to your holiday looks. Boutique founder Susie Wallace recommends styling swimsuits under clothing for a whole new look. “We have so many one pieces which can be worn as bodysuits under shorts or a skirt if you’re heading from the beach to the bar, or to wear for a casual poolside lunch.”

You also won’t want to miss new launches from down under, arriving in November. First up is Sunseeker, which offers plenty of classic shapes and styles – some with underwiring – which are ideal for those seeking greater coverage and support (cup sizes range up to a size D, while sizes in general go up to an AU14). Also being released are the pretty, feminine bikinis, swimsuits and apparel from luxe resort label Suboo, which also range up to a AU14.
