TREND ALERT / NEOPRENE

It's the latest material hitting the runways and beaches so let's talk neoprene. Labelled as affordable, lightweight and comfortable we are going to be taking a look at some neoprene options currently on the market.

 
You can't escape it so why not embrace it, here are a few Neoprene favourites and some snaps from the runway to get the creativity flowing. 
 
Rubber Soul - W Magazine
 



Triangl is probably the most prevalent brand that is based on Neoprene and it was actually my first experience with the material. They offer a large selection of Neoprene bikinis and swimsuits amongst the usual silky material.  
 
Now I have seen anything and everything made out of Neoprene, from dresses to bras and Skirts to accessories. I have put together a little list of where you can find this material, just from what I have seen in store or purchased myself.
 
Dresses- Factorie
Bras- Cotton On Body
Skirts- Supre (as pictured)
Swimsuits- Triangl (as pictured)
Accessories- Forever 21
