Welcome back to The Code of Style and today I want to introduce you to two fabulous brands featuring swimwear by women for women.

Matte Collection

Matte Collection (Instagram @mattecollection) was founded by women for women. Their founding idea is that every woman deserves to look and feel their best without breaking the bank; and that embracing the simple, clean, minimalistic look is the way to go! 

Since their launch, with the support of their customers, they have experienced massive growth, and have been able to crossover into international markets. They are a forward thinking company, with the body, style, and shape of every woman in mind. 


Trunkettes:

Trunkettes (Instagram: @trunkettesswimwear) was founded in 2008 by Hilary Genga as the first swimwear company to offer a complete line of swim trunks for women- because sexy doesn’t need to be uncomfortable!

The line has expanded to include bikinis, one pieces and cover-ups, as well as swim trunks for women in all lengths and styles. Trunkettes is designed to be hip and stylish with a bit more coverage for comfort and confidence. We believe that all women should have choices when it comes to swimwear and be able to enjoy family time at the beach or the pool worry-free!

Trunkettes Swimwear was featured on the 2016 cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and they applauded Sports Illustrated for featuring size 14-16 models in 2016 saying, 

Empowering women with choices, feeling beautiful and finding your own self-confidence is what the Trunkettes brand is all about. We love the choice of acceptance SI has made in featuring more realistic models this year and hope that it marks a move in this direction for the industry.

Trunkettes

Trunkettes  has been included in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue eight times, beating out upwards of 10,000 submissions each time to make it the ultimate placement for premiering the season’s new swimwear. 

An impressive list of celebrities wearing Trunkettes have popularized the brand, including Carrie Underwood, Carmen Electra, Felicity Huffman, Kathy Lee Gifford, Perrey Reeves, Julie Bowen, Hannah Davis, Gretchen Rossi, and the lovely ladies on The Talk. The diverse Trunkettes clientele represents the variety of styles offered- from a full range of alternative swim trunks for women to string bikinis and cover-ups.
