Definitive Guidelines to Buying New Swimwear

Women come in all shapes and sizes, and whether you believe yourself to be in shape, or to be carrying a bit more to love, if you have a body that you would like to take to the beach, you have a beach body. Long gone are the days of prescribing a certain body type – it’s a modern world, and loving yourself for who you are, is where it’s at!

For many women, swimsuits pose a particular mental hurdle to overcome, but putting a bit of thought into your body type is all you need to do to ensure that you look good in your brand-new swimsuit!

What to remember when buying swimsuits for women

You should bear in mind that a few things will always influence your decision when you go out looking for the perfect womens swimsuits. The best advice is not to rush things, and to make sure that you understand your body type, and have a grasp on the various kinds of materials from which swimsuits are made. 

Even if a swimsuit is beautiful and ticks all the right boxes in the store, you will definitely hate it if it is ill-fitting and uncomfortable. Here are a few helpful tips to help you make the right choice.

Work with your body shape

The actual shape of body matters much less than how you dress it. Once you know what your body shape is, from athletic, pear shaped, hourglass, or apple, things become a lot easier once you know what you are working with. Make use of the shop assistants’ knowledge, and let them help you find the right piece. 

Material, girl

You might not believe that the material of a swimsuit is important, but factors like chlorine resistance quickly come into play when you swim a lot! It should be strong and durable, and provide some sort of protection against hooking, fading, and catching. 

The right fit

Never, ever buy swimwear that is too big for you. Not only do you run the risk of showing more of your body that you want to, when it slips and slides around, it also looks cheap and unconsidered. 

Professional swimmers dare not wear a suit that is too big, as it can affect their performance, by creating extra drag from not being streamlined. More than anything else though, it is unflattering when you do not fit properly into your swimsuit. 

The ideal swimsuit fits snugly. Remember that it has to stay put in order to protect your modesty, but also needs to be well-fitted in order to work properly. Remember that fabric loosens and stretches when wet, so buying your swimsuit a size up is almost a guaranteed baggy appearance! Rather buy a closer fit, to ensure that you are not severely affected by stretching. 

Too many straps!

There is nothing wrong with wearing a design piece but remember that a dramatic piece with many straps can result in an absolutely disastrous tan! The fewer straps your swimsuit has, the fewer tan lines you have to worry about.
