Sofia by Vix walks on the wild side with this appropriately named Sassy Ruffle Bikini. Few patterns scream sass like animal print. The leopard print might be a lazy way to make a swimsuit feel flirty, but it's also effective. The delicate ruffles around the edge of the classic triangle top soften the style. I only wish Vix's Sofia line had stopped there though. While the teal string po…

Vix takes inspiration from the wilds of Africa with this Nepal bikini from its Hermanny collection. I appreciate that Vix has rejected obvious African motifs like animal prints and tribal markings.

Its name might suggest that it's a bit of a scatterbrain, but this Ditsy Bikini from Vix is surprisingly smart. Bright, delicate flowers liven up this black triangle bikini.

Vix shows off a little more skin than usual with this sexy Ubud Bia Bikini. The Bia style is one of Vix's most revealing, but I've never seen it decorated quite as attractively as this.

I love the way modern Western s…

Vix puts fashion first with this luxurious looking Cambra bikini top. Snakeskin embossed leather tabs liven up not just the straps, but the entire bikini. Without them this black swim top would look like so many others. But they really add personality to the design while making it feel that much more luxurious. However we've always been told to keep our leather goods away from water…

Vix puts a modern twist on the classic black and white color combination with this contemporary Odette Bikini. This traditional white triangle bikini is adorned with skinny black horizontal stripes. The casual stripes are complemented by leather details at the shoulders. I love the luxurious look these calfskin swatches bring, but I'm concerned about them on a practical level…
