What counts when choosing a swimsuit?

Let’s be honest: as the days get longer and you can even smell summer in the air, choosing a new swimsuit can really put us in a good mood, reminding us that summer is just around the corner.

Women’s swimwear for the beach comes in four main types: one piece, two-piece, trikini (a revealing one-piece exposing much of the body) and tankini (briefs + top). And four key factors need to be taken into account when making your choice:

1. Quality. If you want your new swimsuit to actually be “good” as well as just look good, then paying careful attention to fabrics, colours and other details;
2. Colour. If you have light-coloured skin, then opt for bright colours that can enhance even the faintest tan. If you are dark skinned though, opt for lighter colours creating a lovely contrast with your skin tone;
3. Use:  This may not be the most important factor, but if you plan to swim a lot then you will need a comfortable swimsuit, and if you love sunbathing then you need something rather skimpy. And what about if you are only interested in the fashion side? That is easy: choose something stunning!
4. Body shape (or, in other words, tell me what body shape you are and I will tell you which swimsuit to pick). What really counts when choosing women’s swimwear for the beach is your body shape. High-cut or high-waisted briefs, boy-shorts or bottoms with ties, a triangular or padded bra: the ideal style for you is somewhere out there. You just need to know how to choose it.

What body shape are you?

What to choose: the ideal swimsuit for you is a high-cut two-piece with a high waist. It will make your legs look longer and your hips wider.
