Swimwear

Look sexy and confident during your beach escapade or while lounging at the pool by getting swimwear that is flattering for your figure. 

However, if swimwear shopping is one of your least favorite things, you're not alone. Between swimsuits that are too revealing or too conservative, swimsuits with straps or without straps, and swimsuits in every colour imaginable--it can be hard to know where to start. But don't worry! In this article, we'll talk about all the different swimwear styles out there so you can find what works for you.

Types of swimwear

There are many different types of swimsuits. They range from bikinis to tankinis to one-piece suits and more! You can get a swimsuit that fits you well just by doing research ahead of time, so it's always good to know which style would work best for you before you go shopping.

Bikini Style: Bikinis come in various designs, including triangles, bandeaus, string tops, and high-waisted bottoms with briefs. Bikinis are perfect if you want something sexy and functional, as these swimsuits provide plenty of coverage while still being skimpy enough for beachwear.

Tankini: A tankini is a two-piece bathing suit consisting of a tank top and a bikini bottom. This style is perfect for those who want ample support to the bust, while skimming over the tummy area. As a result, tankinis can give you flattering coverage. 

One Piece: A one-piece swimsuit consists of a single piece of material that covers the entire body. They boast of cuts and silhouettes that show off your curves and accentuate the shape of your body. 

Skirted One Piece: Skirted swimsuits are especially popular with women who want to show off their curves while still providing coverage for the thighs and legs. They add an additional, skirt-like layer of fabric to a traditional one-piece swimsuit.

Halter One Piece: Halter swimsuits have a strap that runs from the front of the garment around the back of the neck, leaving the upper back uncovered. They are typically worn by those who want to bare their shoulders, neckline, and upper back in order to minimise tan lines.

How to choose the right swimwear for your body type?

Every swimwear has different cuts and features that can be adjusted to your body type. Here are some essential tips on how to choose the right swimsuit:

• If you're looking to show off your figure, go with a one-piece swimsuit. This will draw the eye inwards towards your curves while still providing coverage from front to back.
• If you're looking for swimwear that’s easy to swim and play in, then go with a tankini or a bikini. 
• If you're looking to conceal your stomach but prefer the flexibility of a two-piece, consider getting a tankini.

Factors to consider while shopping for swimwear

When shopping for swimwear, keep these factors in mind so that you will pick suits that will match your needs.

1. Fabric
You want the swimsuit fabric to be lightweight, quick-drying, and not clingy or irritable against the skin.

2. Style of swimwear
Swimsuits come in many different styles, from bikinis to one-pieces to swim dresses. If you are looking for something more modest, go with a one-piece swimsuit instead of bikini-style, since the latter might be too revealing. For a flattering middle ground, you can pick a skirted one-piece.

3. Comfort
Swimsuits are typically strapped and tied around the neck or waist for extra security. When shopping for swimwear, it is best to consider the activities that you will be doing in the water such as competitive swimming so that you can pick suits that would allow you to feel comfortable while providing enough coverage.

4. Price and quality
Swimwear is made from various materials, fabrics, lace, etc., which can have an impact on the final product so be sure to check the price tag before making a purchase decision. Buy swimwear from reputable suppliers so that you can rest assured that you will be getting products made of high quality materials.

5. Fit
Swimsuits are designed to fit women of all body types. Wearing a well-fitting swimsuit can make you feel confident on the beach or pool. Use the swimwear size chart on Big Girls Don't Cry Anymore online to help you determine the best fit for your body type.
6. Versatility

Consider buying swimsuits with more than just one use, for example, swimsuits which can also be worn as tops or beach cover-ups. This will save you money and make your swimwear last longer.

How to take care of your swimwear?

To ensure your swimwear will last a long time, you need to take great care of it. Here are some reminders:

Rinse off after use: After a swimming session on the beach or the pool, it's essential to rinse swimwear thoroughly with fresh water to remove saltwater and chlorine.

Hand wash: Swimsuits should be hand washed to ensure that they maintain their shape and colour.

Hang dry: When your swimsuit is clean, make sure you hang it up or lay flat to dry for a couple of hours to allow any moisture on the inside of the swimwear to dry off.

Store swimsuits in a cool, dark place: If you are not going to use your swimsuit for an extended period of time, fold them and place them away from sunlight.
