About yesterday..
During my shopping spree in preparation for leaving somewhere warm, I stopped by Roxy, one of my favourite brands, and I came across their famous capsule collection by Roxy x Courreges which really caught my attention instantly as soon as I walked into the shop…and of course I took it upon myself to play dress up, and try on… everything..
Full Story ..
Roxy x Courreges ..
This collaboration was born through a friendship of two brands (something that I didn’t know at all) and specifically their love for sport, and more precisely for surfing, skiing and snowboarding (that too I had absolutely no idea about!!!)
To create this sublime sportswear but also high quality collection, the two brands have come together to create a pure, graphic and extremely well structured style by Courreges, and more technical, technological and sporty by Roxy. Mission accomplished !
What does it look like :
The complete collection includes 16 items for snowboarding, skiing, running and watersports. Using white and orange colors, all the garments are visually successful (the proof, I went straight to them on entering the shop, so they definitely attract your attention right away), and the chosen materials are very beautiful too but especially technical, waterproof, and breathable, made from a light neoprene, Jersey and even recycled polyamide, everything has UV50 protection for the running and swimwear, and for the snow gear they have used technology which protects the skin against the cold.. In short, they have thought of everything)
The ++ :
The items from the winter collection are simply brilliant. The ski clothes are well sewn together, beautiful and technical at the same time!! The lovers of strong sensations or simply fans of winter sports will appreciate them;) The ski jacket is really really good, with fingerless integrated gloves and everything, the ski jacket is definitly my favourite and my current crush of the collection .. The goggles also are very esthetic and once the whole outfit is on, with the jacket, jumper and everything else, it is really beautiful (except the hat which I really do not like) .. What a great gift to ask from Santa : a whole new ski outfit. It is already on my list !!!
Concerning the sport and swim range, it is also very attractive and above all elegant.. additionally I tried this on and it is a beautiful set, comfortable, uncluttered, perfect for running or yoga for example And the swimsuits are very elegant too. Oh and another cute detail, you get a free bag when you buy an item from the collection;-)
The – – :
The price, especially for the snow collection. Santa is going to have to save up because it certainly does not come cheap, and if we buy the whole set, it all adds up very quickly… It is normal for this kind of product, ultra accomplished, and it is true that it is an investment for the long-term, but all the same, at the time it still hurts;) the jacket is 700 euros and the snox pants are 349 euros (for the rest OK, goggles / masks are 139 euros, mittens are 149 euros, jumpers are 149 euros)..
Size issues.. there is no XS.. I was so disappointed when I tried on the ski pants as they were way too big for me (I’m a 6/8).. Unfortunately the brand has not brought out an XS, nor a XL in the capsule collection, so this will be a huge disappointment for xtra-large and xtra-small girls who will not be able to find their size. On the other hand the jacket is perfect in a S with a jumper underneath. Fortunately because it is the item that I would recommend you to buy if I had to choose ! (OK the jacket, jumper and the goggles if I had to choose really).. The same goes for the sports gear: perfect for the white leggings which I nearly bought as well as the snow gear but unfortunately they did not have any XS t-shirts or sport bra.. and the S was too big for me. It is a shame, I do hope that they open up their collection for sizes XS to XL;-)
Bikini cut (Yes because looking back, I actually came in here to buy swimwear and bikinis, I remember now) attractive, pleasant and feels like it is of the top quality .. but once i wore them, they did cut a little around the buttocks, which does not look perfect, and after all these are technical swimsuits, like proper swimming costumes, but for a sexy booty we will just have to settle for it…
Were to find this supercool Roxy x Courrèges collection ?
The swim and running collection came out this summer and good news, the snow collection has just come out…We can find all the items on the website Roxy or in a selection of Roxy stores 😉
So there you have it, everything you need to know !! Do not hesitate to share your opinion and thoughts on the collection ! Have you already heard of it ? Already tried it ? Tell me everything <3
