Victoria's Secret is a jewel in the world of lingerie. This brand with a history is rightfully a true trendsetter dictating new directions. All the others are equal to it, borrowing the best stylish solutions. Women from all over the world are ready to wait for orders for several months to become happy owners of the company's products. In addition to sets of panties and bras, peignoirs and dressing gowns, Victoria's Secret is engaged in the production of swimwear.
Features
The history of the brand began at the moment when a certain American citizen Roy Raymond could not buy a beautiful gift for his wife, as he simply could not find beautiful underwear in existing stores. This moment became fundamental for the future of the whole company, because having opened his own boutique, Raymond was preoccupied with the issue of variety of choices.
His main idea was to make a store in which they would not only help to make the right choice, but also to make it at all. Therefore, from the very beginning in Victoria's Secret there were not only standard lingerie models.
When Leslie Veksner stood at the helm, having bought the brand from the previous owner, he realized the idea of the need to make clothes exclusive, beautiful, seductive. Since then, Victoria's Secret has maintained the position that even underwear is not visible under clothes, but every woman wants to feel most attractive in him. The idea of affordable luxury has become revolutionary in its own way, changing the look on underwear as an ordinary boring set.
Over time, the brand expanded, and in addition to underwear, swimwear appeared in it. As in the previous case, the brand was able to maintain a high bar and soon became a trendsetter in beachwear.Victoria's Secret not only follows the general fashion trends, but also sets them, because the company's designers strive to bring something new, even in such simple, it would seem, clothes like a bathing suit. Thanks to my careful attitude to fashion, I understand what women want, the brand has become known throughout the world.
In addition to the name that makes brand products desired by women around the world, Victoria's Secret has prestige. The owner of the underwear or swimsuit of this company can be automatically ranked among those who are versed in fashion and value themselves. The brand monitors the maintenance of the image, therefore, throughout its history, it uses only the highest quality materials.
In addition, natural stones and metals, beads, sequins, fringe, embroidery are used as decorative elements. All this decently raises the price of brand products, but is compensated by high wear resistance and frequent sales.
Designs of swimwear combine not only the convenience of classic models, but also sometimes extravagant unusual solutions in a cut or a combination of colors. A large lineup, as well as the ability to combine things from different sets, will allow you to choose a swimsuit for individual characteristics. Victoria's Secret products are famous for how well they sit on the owners, as there are options for all types of figures that will help to hide flaws and, conversely, focus on the merits.
Victoria's Secret has stores in all major cities of the world, but those who do not live in them will have to order a swimsuit online. In addition, much more models can be found not at points of sale, but on the official American Internet resource.
Models and styles 2020
Victoria's Secret does not limit the lineup to a pair of styles, covering all possible options at once. This makes the brand’s product universal, as women of any figure warehouse can find something suitable for themselves.
Among separate swimsuits, the most popular model, of course, is a bikini.
It is a set of bras, most often on thin straps, and panties. A halter can also be attributed to a bikini, in which bra straps are tied around the neck, which can emphasize the chest by lifting it.
A bando consists of the same set, but differs only in the appearance of a bra, and sometimes panties, since they look like a continuous tape. Finally, this brand produces a tankini model, the top of which is the top, which is convenient for those who want to hide their tummy or sides.
Despite the fact that the largest variety is in separate swimsuits, there is also a decent choice for one-piece swimsuits for every taste. There are closed mayo models with sewn-in straps and tanks, with one-piece straps.
In addition, they can be either classic on the shoulders, or a type of halter, fastening on the neck, or a bando when they are not at all.
In sports haynek swimwear, which can be both fused or separate, the neckline is very small, so the neckline is closed.
Among the one-piece swimsuits there are much more open options. For example, monokini are very popular, which in essence are fused, but in fact they sometimes have a lot of all kinds of cutouts on the sides, stomach and back. There are also swimwear models of the plunge with very deep cuts in the front and back, so it turns out that you can see the vertical stripes of the abdomen and back.
In general, swimsuit models can be divided into several categories.
- The first one is sporty, with the most comfortable and reliable cut, while not devoid of the charm of this brand, but its bikini and bandeau represent it.
- The second is swimsuits for women with large breasts, whose bras fix the breasts, support it with the help of correctly designed cups and strapless type “halter”.
- The third - swimsuits with a corrective effect, for example, with a push-up or double push-up (visually enlarge the chest) or deep cutouts (visually lengthens the figure).
- And, finally, one of the largest categories is ordinary swimwear of various styles, from bikinis to monokini, often with beautiful and rich decorations.
The brand does not lag behind fashion trends and every season tries to surprise its fans with new products. Seasons can replace each other, but all kinds of bikinis remain classics of the brand. They can be presented both in more classic versions, and less standard, for example, with bandeau bodices, with tops or elongated bodices. Regular straps over the shoulders or halter are equally relevant.
In one-piece swimsuits, monokinis remain the unchanged brand leader. They are one of the main assets of the brand, and among the models there are both laconic and modest, as well as bright, extravagant and bold. Tankini and plunge are more relevant this season than ever.
Among the fashionable styles of bras on swimsuits of all kinds, push-ups occupy a leading position. Thanks to special inserts, they allow you to visually enlarge the chest and lift it, making a beautiful shape.
As for panties, in addition to the classic options with high or low waist, this year will be popular shorts.
An interesting novelty will be the abundant use of ruffles, ruffles, flounces on panties and bras of a swimsuit. Unusually look models whose top looks more like a top with shuttlecocks than the usual part of the bathing set.
The emphasis on decorative elements is made in one-piece swimsuits. For example, you can find several interesting models with drapery, as well as skirtini, that is, swimwear with a skirt, which can also be unfastened.
The use of lacing and metal elements is popular. The main idea of this summer for one-piece swimwear is that they should be as elegant as possible.
As for the general stylistic trends, then it is worth mentioning the retro style. It is characterized by high waist panties, which gives an additional pulling effect. Bandeau bodices, in the form of bows, and in colors - a combination of black and white.
Material
The Victoria's Secret brand has a range of both a mid-price range and a completely sky-high, which presents exclusive models in precious stones. Regardless of this factor, absolutely all products are sewn from quality materials to please their customers and extend the life of an expensive purchase.
The most common material in the swimwear of the brand is polyester, since it allows you to produce affordable models. The polyester has been used in sewing swimwear for a long time, but it is good because it does not fade in the sun. However, he also has its drawbacks, for example, it dries for a long time and quickly loses its shape.
To improve the quality of polyester swimwear, elastane, lycra are added to this material. Lycra provides elasticity of the fabric, so that the swimsuit does not stretch, and quick drying. You should carefully check the composition and purchase a product in which not more than thirty percent of lycra, as it complicates the access of oxygen to the body.
There are models made of nylon, a very durable material, which, however, poorly resists ultraviolet light and quickly burns out. Its main advantage lies in the fact that swimsuits from it tighten the figure, that is, they have a corrective effect.
Recently, more and more swimwear sewn from neoprene. The appearance of the products from this material is specific, it is hardly confused with anything. Among the advantages are durability and environmental friendliness.
Victoria’s Secret has unusual knitted swimwear in the collections. Beautiful delicate details can be on the back or sides of the products, sometimes they completely cover the stomach on the merged models.
Color and print
This season is marked by the use of contrasting harmonies, that is, colors opposite to each other. For example, it is black and white, blue-red, pink-blue shades.
Despite the presence of monophonic models, a greater bias is made precisely in the direction of brightness or moderate saturation, but at the same time unusual combinations. So, deep burgundy shades are adjacent to turquoise, and black with pearl pink.
However, for those who love tenderness, fashionable nude shades this year are suitable: beige, sand, ash pink.
Trends are trends, but the brand has its own color "classic", which is somehow present in all collections due to its versatility. These colors include pure black, which looks spectacularly on a monokini or on a bikini.
White and pink colors are in the same category, due to which delicate models of swimwear are obtained, especially if they are decorated with drapery.
The brand experiences a special craving for green color, which, however, changes shades from season to season - from noble saturated emerald to acid neon.
This year, Victoria’s Secret offers its fans an interesting trick, which consists in using several color accents at once. This fashionable effect is achieved through a combination of products from different models in one set. For example, with a monophonic bra you can combine brightly colored panties. However, in order not to impede women’s choice, the brand provides several independently assembled models with two-color bras or a gradient on one-piece swimsuits.
In addition to the skillful use of colors, the brand allows itself to experiment with prints. One of the most popular is geometric, due to which interesting patterns from triangles, rhombs and other shapes are obtained.
Boho-style swimwear looks no less chic, which depicts drawings of ethnic plots and abstractions.
Floral prints and animal prints, especially the famous leopard, do not lose their relevance. This year, the brand offers to combine products with different prints, for example, a floral bodice and animalistic panties.?
Size chart
The size of bras for swimwear consists of two values - numbers and letters. The figure means the girth under the chest and has the following possible indicators and the corresponding sizes: 63-67cm - 30, 68-72cm - 32, 73-77cm - 34, 78-82cm - 36, 83-87cm - 38, 88-92cm - 40, 93-97cm - 42.
The letter means the size of the cup, and it is calculated by subtracting the girth under the chest from the girth. The following numbers and letters are possible: 0-10 cm - AA (size 0), 10-12 cm - A (size 1), 13-15 cm - B (size 2), 15-17 cm - C (size 3), 18-20 cm - D (size 4), 20-22 cm - DD (size 5), 23-25 cm - E (size 6).
Thus, when purchasing a bra from a swimsuit, you should rely on these two parameters, the combinations of which can add up to different combinations, for example, 34B, 36C. On some models, only an alphabetic indicator may be present, each of which has its own meaning: XS (size 1, volume up to 84 cm), S (size 2, volume up to 90 cm), M (size 3, volume up to 9 cm), L (size 4, volume up to 102 cm).
The same letter coefficients are used to indicate the size of the panties, which depends on the volume of the hips. XS - up to 90 cm, S - up to 95 cm, M - up to 102 cm, L - up to 108 cm.
Reviews
Owners of Victoria’s Secret swimsuits talk about a large number of product advantages. First of all, they all relate to the good quality of the material and all the details. Those who have purchased a swimsuit for a long time, note that it serves not one season, but several, while not fading in the sun, without losing shape, remaining as if new. In addition, not only the material is qualitative, but also the tailoring itself, that is, the threads do not stick out, the seams do not diverge.
One of the main advantages concerns the appearance of the product, which does not disappoint those who ordered a swimsuit over the Internet. Satisfied girls note how great the original products look, which is important, because it costs decent money. Owners of swimwear note the original design, bright colors and color matching the picture in the catalog.
Like women and a large assortment of goods.Especially many speak positively about the convenience of the system provided on the site, by which you can make a set of things of different models. That is, for example, to take a colorful bra and plain panties.
The disadvantages indicated in the reviews concern rather not the swimsuits themselves, but the difficulties of their acquisition. Unfortunately, the brand stores are not available in all cities, and in the Russian representative offices the desired models are not always present. In addition, sometimes it turns out that ordering a swimsuit from America is much cheaper, especially if you use the offers of frequent sales. But in this case, the desired product must be sent by mail, and delivery may take from a month to two. Therefore, those who have a desire to get an original new thing by the summer should hurry up with a purchase.
Online shopping carries some risks. For example, some girls did the wrong measurements, so the bras received from the sets over time simply did not fit them. This is not to say that the price is such a drawback, because for a decent amount the buyer gets a decent quality product. Nevertheless, some people think the price is too high.
Separately, we should talk about such a common phenomenon as the purchase of supposedly Victoria’s Secret products on sites selling Chinese products. Many hope that a fake will live up to expectations, while saving money. However, as a result, especially in comparison with the models of the original brand, one can see how much the fakes are inferior both in quality and in appearance.
