Bikini Envy

Envy Me Swimwear

You’re no stranger to the deadly sins.

Vanity? That would explain the $300 you just spent on hair products. Gluttony? Go ask the doughnuts you devoured last night. Sloth? Your code word for “way of life.”

But your current spiritual rap sheet is dominated by one transgression in particular: envy. Specifically, a burning desire for your bff’s new bathing suit.

Then again, she’s sort of asking for it, given she got it from Envy Me Swimwear, a line created by a former beauty contestant who couldn’t find the perfect suit for her pageants. Necessity being the mother of invention, she created her own tops and Brazilian-cut bottoms that leave just enough to the imagination.

The simple styles (no pads or wires) come in vivid colors like coral, turquoise, crimson, and lavender and have design touches like pleats, rhinestones, and lace-up detailing. And because every suit is handcrafted from durable, quick-drying Italian fabric, it will outlast even your jealously — and is sure to inspire some feelings of lust.

Some sins are more fun when shared with others.
