Roxy adds some feminine flair to its classic flip flops with these Sunray shoes. Given its bright summery name, I expected this pair of flip flops to look a little livelier. But instead of rainbow colors these flip flops are available in basic black. It's a classic choice, easy to pair with any swimsuit you wish, but not very interesting. Only the pink Roxy heart on the footbed adds a bi…

Roxy serves up something sweet with its Abstract Sky Angel bikini. Its name is a bit of a mouthful, but it explains a little about this sweet top's print. I initially saw it as a floral pattern, but on noting the moniker I wonder whether it shows white clouds floating in a rosy pink sky. It's a little hard to tell, which is why Roxy calls the pattern abstract I suppose! That ambiguity works…

Roxy celebrates timeless style with these Morning Session Board Shorts. There are no frills or design risks taken here, but that's not entirely a bad thing. The Morning Session shorts are the kind of swimming trunks you can wear for season after season without seeing them date. And as they're machine washable, you can enjoy the rewards of your purchase with minimal effort. I really…

Roxy embraces its feminine side with these Hobo Surf Sand Flower boardshorts. Its name is complicated and a real mouthful, but there's little to these swim shorts, literally! These shorts certainly live up to their name. They show a whole lot of leg, so I hope yours are toned, tanned, and not still carrying any extra Christmas kilos! The skimpy design won't suit self conscious sun lo…

Roxy takes you from the beach to a waterfront café with this cute New Twist tube dress. With so many labels churning out shapeless beach dresses, it's refreshing to see one with a bit more style. The twisted front bodice features a keyhole detail, allowing us to show just a bit of skin. This cheeky feature is matched by a peek-a-boo opening beneath the rear tie. I love all these naughty…

They might not be the most fashion forward flip flops around, but after a day wearing them you'll likely thank Roxy for creating the Gracias. There's no getting around it; these flip flops are pretty ugly. The large buckle only makes the wide straps appear even chunkier. They're far from feminine, especially since we can only choose between black and pewter. They're the kind of shoe…

Roxy deliver a simple yet timeless beach cover-up with this Pearl Tide dress. I must admit, I'm a bit torn on this cover-up. On the one hand, I appreciate the simplicity of this cover up. By taking a more minimalist approach than many designers, Roxy's ensured this cover-up won't date. Helping its cause is the choice of a single color rather than a print. The vibrant turquoise blue has…

Roxy takes care of style and sun protection with this Kinda Shady hat. This is a rustic looking sunhat, with its woven paper straw finish and matching straw tie accent. Its pretty pink wash gives it a youthful energy. It almost seems like the natural straw has been spray painted, or perhaps even tie-dyed. If that sugary pink is a bit girly for you, you'll find the Kinda Shady with a white…

Roxy goes retro with these Thrashin board shorts. Its name conjures up images of mosh pits in the 90s, but the shorts are a much more relaxed affair. They've got a long, universally flattering retro cut and a fun geometric print along the sides. You'll find the obligatory Roxy logo inside these angled stripes. It's a great way of branding the shorts without disrupting the design. Rox…

In America they call them French fries, but in the UK and Australia they're hot chips. No matter what you call them, leaving the shore to get a steaming bag of the potato treats from a local kiosk or takeaway store is a treasured childhood summer memory. Just as hot chips make me nostalgic for my youth, so does this playful Roxy tankini that shares its name. The thick red and white stripes…

Roxy add a little color to summer time with these Shove It board shorts. With a design as obnoxious as their name, these shorts are loud and proud! They are adorned with a colorful psychedelic print that's so bright, you've got to wear shades around them. Before you back away from this rainbow of design, it's worth pausing for a moment. These are just the kind of board shorts that could m…

Roxy bridges the gap between board shorts and bikini bottoms in style with these naughty Flashback Cheeky Hipsters. In terms of showing skin, these are much closer to a pair of bikini briefs than boardies. While the boy leg is a little longer than swimsuit bottoms, it's certainly not going to cover cellulite or chunky thighs. While they're slightly more modest than briefs, I wouldn…

Surf label Roxy has recently redesigned its iconic women's Syncro wetsuit to make it their best yet. The newly crafted suit is made from flexible and lightweight neoprene. This stretchy high tech material ensures you don't feel restricted as you're paddling through the waves, or catching them. Its look is simple in basic black, but the pink heart shaped Roxy logo on the chest does g…

Roxy claims that even if you never get the chance to walk along the shores of Tahiti, "your feet will never know the difference when you wear" these Tahiti flip flops. Excuse me Roxy, but I'm a bit skeptical. The colorful printed are soles are quite endearing, but strip away the aesthetics and you've got a fairly stock standard pair of flip flops. Roxy tells us that the flat sole makes th…

Board shorts have a tendency to look masculine and a little unflattering, but with these Tavarua shorts Roxy breaks the mold. These beach bottoms aren't just super short, they're also super sassy! The plain black shorts are livened up with white striping and colorful bands along the wide, shirred waistband. Some might think the mostly black design is a bit boring, but I think it jus…

Carry your towel, glossy magazine, and other summer essentials to the beach in style with this Wild Side Tote from Roxy. I must say that its name seems like a bit of a misnomer though. There's very little about this tote that walks on the wild side; its wide horizontal stripes are decidedly laid back as is its soft, slouchy cotton canvas body. I don't think that's a flaw, as most of us want…

Roxy keeps it simple with this no frills pair of Palm Beach flip flops. The surf brand does its best to stamp its identity on the classic flip flop style. The sole is covered in an abstract wave logo print, and the logo appears again on an accent near your toes. It might seem like branding overkill, but the logo charm is the only one we'll see when these flip flops are on your feet. That's bot…

Take it on a trip with you, rinse it out and hang it up overnight after wearing it, and throw it back on the next day and it's a completely different suit! It fits right into the carefree lifestyle that make vacations...vacations. And a classic print like a polka dot really makes a bikini a bikini. It would d…
