Candice Swanepoel Pairs a Printed Bikini With Boots in Tropic C Campaign

Candice Swanepoel is making a case for swimwear beyond the summer season in a new image for her label, Tropic C. The model posed beside a pool in a deer-print bikini, adding a sheer cardigan in the same pattern and chunky Wellington-style boots. The campaign image was shared with the caption, “Your favorite swim deserves a plus one.” Swanepoel wore her blonde hair in loose, beachy waves, with one side gathered into a casual plait. The styling combined a warm-weather set with footwear more often associated with rainy or colder days. Swanepoel, a longtime Victoria’s Secret Angel, has also built a business around swimwear through Tropic C. The label’s latest look puts its printed pieces in a setting that nods to autumn while keeping the poolside backdrop in view. The outfit’s matching cover-up offers an extra layer without hiding the bikini design. The model has frequently appeared in campaigns for her own brand, presenting its pieces herself. In this latest shoot, the boots provide the unexpected contrast: instead of conventional sandals or heels, she chose sturdy footwear that gives the beach-inspired outfit a seasonal twist. The image drew attention to the combination of the coordinated print, sheer layer and practical boots. Swanepoel’s caption framed the cover-up as a companion to a favorite swimsuit, while the overall styling showed how the label’s pieces can be presented outside a strictly summery setting.
