A guide to the Venus swimsuit and swimwear range

The roots of cult beach brand Venus swimsuits lie deep in a southern body building company. In 1982 college senior Daryl Scott launched a brand of competitive body building attire, Titan, out of his Florida apartment.

People seemed to take to young Daryl’s mail order business – so well, in fact, that he also formed Venus Bodywear in 1984. Venus offered women’s workout gear via mail order, and in 1985 the company grew to incorporate a little offshoot called Venus Swimwear.

Mail order is the core business of Venus swimwear but the brand also sells their range wholesale to boutiques and surf shops. Venus has its own store operating in its hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. These days the all-American brand sells hundreds of swimsuits that are vibrant, vivid, and very versatile.

As Venus sells every piece of its swimwear range as mix and match separates, there must be something for just about every woman. The pieces are made with your body in mind. Sounds simple, but when Venus’ tops boast adjustable straps, cups sizes from A to DD, and tankinis with defined bra support and foam inserts, you know they’re thinking woman-friendly.

Venus Bikinis

The bread and butter of Venus swimsuits is the bikini. You’ll find underwire, halter, triangle, push up and sports style tops for purchase. Bottoms are a science all of their own. Hot pants, traditional tie sides, and pants that range from moderate coverage (low rise, mid rise or high rise), Brazilian cut (high cut and skimpy), and athletic (high rise and full coverage). Skirted bottoms provide great coverage and a large dose of the cute factor.

Venus’ one piece suits are distinctive and will give you a little bit of individuality on the sand. Cross back one pieces with high fashion cutaway sides, ruching, ring bindings, halter necks and racing suits are all available.

Stripes are big news for Venus, as are bold, block colors. Chocolate, tangerine, lime and canary yellows add some bright contrasts to the mix and match separates range.

Like any good range of swimsuits, Venus complements its range of suits with some great accessories. You’re able to buy skirts to match any of the suits on sale – from wrap skirts to cut ruffled minis – as well as hats, towels, duffle bags and sandals.
