Whether warmer weather has arrived in your town or you are looking for new items to add to your vacation lineup, flattering swimsuits can really elevate your wardrobe. Certain features will determine if a swimsuit is right for you. Does the swimsuit provide enough support? Are you completely in love with the colors, pattern, and style? Do you feel comfortable, or is the swimsuit too big or too tight? Knowing your proper size will help you pick out swimsuits to add to your wardrobe. Determine what you love—and do not love—when preparing for an update to your swimsuit collection.
Tummy Control Swimsuits
Flatter your figure wearing tummy control swimsuits. These swimsuits consist of firming fabric that helps to smooth and shape your figure. They may feature ruching that helps with the slimming and give the swimsuits another stylish element. Tummy control swimsuits are available in various styles, from strapless to skirted one-piece swimsuits. You can even find the firming feature on swim separates, such as high-waisted bikini bottoms. If you want to turn heads on the beach or resort, you should consider rocking one of these suits!
Modest Swimsuits
Modest swimsuits provide more coverage for you while keeping you looking chic. They have the appearance of a dress you can swim in. These styles look especially cute with a matching sun hat and designer sunglasses as you lounge under the sun. If you are willing to show a bit more skin, skirted swimwear offers coverage at the thighs but reveals more than modest swimsuits.
Rashguards also offer plenty of coverage while still looking stylish. These swimsuits are ideal for women with sensitive skin or skin conditions affected by the sun and heat. You know that when wearing rashguards, your skin will be protected from harmful UV rays. Wear short-sleeved or long-sleeved bathing suits in your favorite colorway or pattern and match them with a matching bottom.
Tankinis
Tankinis, swim tops with the appearance of a tank top, are mainly sold separately. Tankinis offer ideal coverage with an appearance of a tank top. You have plenty of styles to choose from when selecting your tankini tops, such as high necklines and a sweetheart neck. Mix and match your tankini top with your favorite swim bottom. Skirt or skort swim bottoms offer more coverage than a bikini bottom. High-waisted swim bottoms smooth out your figure. Or you can switch things up in women’s board shorts.
One-Shoulder Swimwear
One-shoulder swimsuits offer something fresh beyond strapless, halter, and low-cut bathing suits. One-shoulder styles let you reveal just enough while still offering additional support at the bust. Like any other style, choose your favorite solid or print when picking out a strapless suit. Animal-printed swimming suits, such as leopard, cheetah, or zebra, will allow you to feel bold and beautiful. Bright yellow, red, orange, neon, or floral swimsuits offer a much-needed change to the classic little black swimsuit.
Plus-Size, Petite, and Long Swimsuits
Plus-size swimwear offers similar chic designs and colorways as regular sizes and will let you enjoy your day at the beach while looking fabulous. Look for features that will offer you additional support, such as ruching and tummy control, and you will feel comfortable as you enjoy relaxed days.
Petite and long swimsuits also provide an ideal fit. If you have a long torso, look for the indicator “long” on online retailers or elsewhere. You can use a size predictor to choose your correct size based on past purchases.
Finish Off With Matching Accessories
Whatever stylish swimsuit you choose, complete the look with a fashionable cover-up to drape over your swimwear when you are lounging. Beach cover-ups come in various styles, too, just like swimwear, so go for an accessory that will elevate your look to the next level. Consider a flowy kaftan swim cover-up or a maxi swim cover-up dress for head-to-toe coverage. Swim cover-ups that hit above or at the knee let you reveal more skin. Cover only a portion of your body with a wide-leg pant cover-up or a cardigan swim cover-up.
For ultimate comfort, choose proper bathing suits to provide support at the bust. Underwire, underwire with built-in soft cups, and underwire with removable soft cups will give you maximum support at the bust. Swimwear with built-in soft cups and removable soft cups will provide you with moderate support, and a shelf bra offers light support. Mastectomy swimwear features a mastectomy bra with built-in soft cups for moderate support and a pocket on each side to accommodate your prosthesis.
Kick your beach, pool, or resort experience up a notch by wearing swimwear that lets you feel fabulous. Choose your favorite shade, print, or pattern that will allow you to feel confident, no matter where you are heading. Show off your style and personality by completing your outfits with a stylish sun hat, beach tote, and sandals. Don’t forget beach towels for drying off! Warm weather just got that much better!
