Itā€™s swimsuit season! Whether you are just hanging out at your neighborā€™s pool or road tripping to the nearest beach, I want to introduce you to Kitty and Vibe. They reached out to me and I thought they were such a good brand that I had to share what they were all about.

Iā€™m not sure Iā€™ve seen a more size inclusive swimsuit brand before I was introduced to Kitty and Vibe. It is one thing to tout untouched images and use a diverse models with multiple body types; however, it is another to embrace bodies by including them in your size offering. Kitty and Vibe does just this! As someone with a background in production and wholesale apparel, I understand firsthand how a variety of sizes can not only cause inventory nightmares, but affect your bottom line as well. If it were easy though, everyone would be doing it!

So what sizes does Kitty and Vibe offer exactly?

Their tops come in 8 different bra-type sizes - A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G. This isnā€™t exactly ā€œnormalā€, but what truly sets them apart is their bottom sizing. They offer 12 different sizes! They have the traditional sizes for S - 3XL, but have different options depending on if your rear is curvier or flatter. Choose between S1, S2, M1, M2, L1, L2, XL1, XL2, 2XL1, 2XL2, 3XL1, 3XL2. Grab the ā€œ1ā€ if you have less junk in the trunk and a ā€œ2ā€ if you have more to offer ;) Cameron Armstrong created Kitty and Vibe for this very reason! She always struggled with swimsuits being too saggy on her behind, so she decided to try and remedy the problem. Traditional bottoms are based on a natural waist measurement The issue is that some people have the same measurement, but different hip / bottom sizes.

For reference Iā€™m wearing a C top and a M2 bottom.

Their one piece swimsuits just come in sizing of S - 3XL, but are available in regular or long lengths.

Another great thing about the Kitty and Vibe tops is that they are ADJUSTABLE!! They all have the strap adjustor to make it tighter or looser on your shouldersā€¦ something not enough swim tops offer! My specific top is also adjustable at the tie front, as are my bottoms. If my bikini isnā€™t for you, they have other bikini styles including more high waisted and full coverage options, along with one pieces as well. Thereā€™s something for everyone! Hereā€™s their offering - they typically keep these styles and refresh with new patterns, prints and solids:

Bikini Tops:

Bikini Bottoms:

One Pieces:

Some little extra goodness to note about the Kitty and Vibe brand before you goā€¦

  • The swimsuits are designed in NYC

  • The fabrics are digitally printed in BogotĆ”, Colombia and eco-processed using minimal water and resources

  • The swimsuit fabrics have SPF 50

  • The swimsuits are ethically made in a family owned factory in BogotĆ”, Colombia

  • They are moving packaging from plastic to recyclable cardboard to be more sustainable

Overall I really like my Kitty and Vibe swimsuit and want you to enjoy it as well! I love the brand and what it stands for and canā€™t recommend them enough. Voting with your dollar is so important and Kitty and Vibe is such a good company to support as we head into summer.

Side note - Their care label says to hand wash and hang to dry, but I have been able to successfully wash them in my washing machine on the delicate cycle, in a lingerie bag. I also sometimes just hand wash and lay over my shower to dry. I never put it in the dryer.

Also, my sister isnā€™t wearing a Kitty and Vibe swimsuit, but I couldnā€™t resist including these pics of us!!
