When we need cool swimwear for boys both big and little our search always stops at Tom & Teddy. And the great news is they’re back at Boutiques at The Pit Building in March, and they’re giving away a two-night Bali stay to a lucky shopper!
If there’s one truly essential item for living in Singapore, it surely has to be a good pair of swimmers (or togs, bathers, boardies, a swimsuit or a cossie, depending on where you’re from). With year-round searing heat and humidity, going for a dip is almost as much a part of our daily routine as brushing our teeth. But when it comes to cool swimwear, girls really do get to have all the fun while the boys get stuck with boring monochrome or garish fluoro numbers that could possibly be spotted from the moon. So when we first discovered Australian swimwear brand Tom & Teddy we whooped for joy then promptly filled our online shopping carts to the brim. Lucky for us, the Tom & Teddy crew are back again at the Boutiques event at The Pit Building in March so we can check out the full range in person. Not only will they be spruiking their fab wares, they’re also teaming up with Lightfoot Travel to give one of their style-savvy customers a two-night stay at Bali’s five star luxury resort, Alila Seminyak.
Tom & Teddy board shorts and rashies nail it for three reasons: they fit well, they look stylish, and they’re built to last. This ‘holy trinity’ of swimwear is a rare find, especially when it comes to shopping for the lads. And when you’re jumping in the pool daily or jetting off to a beach destination every few months, no one is keen to update the entire family’s swimming wardrobe every time. The microfibre fabric in the Tom & Teddy range is super-soft, quick-drying and UV-protected, which has made the brand a firm favourite across Australia and Asia. They’re also breaking into the US market, and already Giuliana Rancic’s son, Duke, and Kourtney Kardashian’s boy, Mason, have been seen sporting some of the Tom & Teddy range on their family beach jaunts.
Of course, if Hollywood royalty are on board then the best thing about Tom & Teddy must be its fun, fresh designs. And just quietly, we think the fact that boys and their dads can proudly wear matching shorts is pretty cute. But if ‘matchy matchy’ isn’t their thing, they can each choose their fave pattern from the colourful but classy range that includes sharks, scooters, seagulls, ice creams, and thoughtfully chosen plain colours. The rash tops are fantastic too; they look just like a nice T-shirt so can be worn in and out of the water all day long.
If you’re in the market for some fresh new togs for the big boys and little guys in your life, pop on down to Boutiques at The Pit Building on 11 and 12 March. While you’re there don’t forget to nab your chance to take your new purchases for a holiday test run: Tom & Teddy have joined forces with bespoke travel specialist Lightfoot Travel to offer all visitors to the Tom & Teddy pop-up at Boutiques the chance to win a two-night stay at the gorgeous Alila Seminyak in Bali. Time for the gents to hit the pool! Stylishly, of course.
