Let’s get out in the Plein Air
Let’s run around in the Plein Air
Let’s live life in the Plein Air
Plein Air is all about being yourself and being true to yourself in REAL LIFE. Plein Air painting is capturing life as it is outdoors. We encourage all our Artesands curvy babes to get out in the Plein Air and be themselves in true vivid colours. Plein Air is light and bright and the perfect swimsuit to start off the summer with a bit of colour.
Mix and Match
Plein Air has been designed to mix and match back with our Figaro Blue collection. The hues of Plein Air and it's soft animal print complement the deeper tones of Figaro Blue perfectly. The piece that ties this all together is our reversible pant, with the delicate Plein Air design on one side and the bold Figaro Blue on the other. This is the perfect pant to buy if you want a little bit of both worlds!
Our reversible pant has been designed with each edge having a discrete top stitch so you cannot see the reverse side of the print. This holds the pant in place whilst allowing it to stretch over your curves.
The beauty of our mix and match collections is that you can mix any pant with any top in the size that you need! Here at Artesands we know not any two bodies are created the same, we strive to normalize the women’s body in how it is naturally made, no photoshop, or after effects here, we want all women to feel comfortable in there skin and enjoy the summer.

Monet Bikini Top
Monet is named after a French painter Claude Monet, a founder of French Impressionist painting. Monet was the philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to Plein Air landscape painting. He painted beautiful landscapes and quite often captured beautiful lakes with floating lily pads, like something you would see in a dream.
Our Monet bikini top is one of our newest silhouettes added to the Artesands range. Monet is our take on a relaxed comfortable natural shaped cup.

Each plus size rashie has an adjustable full length front zipper so you can easily throw it on over your curvy swimsuit. We also have a long sleeve rashie available in our Hues Signature range for full arm protection.
