pool or on
beach this season."Summertime is inevitably a season when we all at some time or another bring out
swimwear. Whether it is at
beach, camping or
cottage,
warm weather and tantalizing water encourages a refreshing swim. There are some on
other hand who may not even use their swimwear for
water but who like to sit in
sun’s rays and give their skin
glow of summer. Whatever use you have for your bikini or swimwear
wonderful assortment of fabrics, styles and accessories will have you out and about enjoying
fine weather.
There are some of us who don’t exactly look forward to this time of year when we have to bring out
swimwear and bikinis in hopes that those couple of extra pounds gained over
year won’t have us bulging out of
seams. Not to fret though as swimwear today offers great stretch fabrics for easy mobility and plenty of style options that might just minimize or hide any imperfections.
The fabric, body shape, design and color are all factors when choosing
most flattering swimwear for you. When selecting a swimsuit
quality of fabric is important as you want a suit that will stand up to
seasons of wear, sun and saltwater. Nylon, Lycra and Faille are popular fabrics used for swimsuits, they resist fading and hold their stretchiness. Nylon and Lycra used together offer more stretch then standard swimwear along with shaping, control and comfort for
wearer.
The design of
swimsuit is probably
most important factor when women are out shopping for swimwear and bikinis. You will find plenty of suggestions on flattering suits for all sorts of body types. There are suits to create curves where needed, suits to minimize hips, suits to whittle waistlines, others to add shape to specific areas and then there are
standard all purpose suits that may look great on a variety of shapes. Lines and colors are very important in minimizing or accentuating particular parts of
body. Black and darker colors are often used to minimize, while stripes depending on whether they are vertical or horizontal are used for
same minimizing (vertical) or accentuating (horizontal) effects. There are several special sizes of swimsuits available to accommodate women from petite, tall and plus sizes.
Bikinis alone come in several popular designs that may include; tankinis which are similar to a tank top (with matching bottom, there are different variations of
tankini from short (above
navel) to tops that touch
bottom piece; bandeau tops are designed as a strip usually with no straps; halter tops are just as
name implies similar to a halter with possibly a string that goes around
neck connecting
bodice; lastly there are bra-tops (similar to bra designs) and triangle tops (triangle designs). The bikini that works best will vary from person to person, you want a top that offers support if needed, it is always best to try on a few different tops and see what works best.
Women’s swimsuits offer features such as; soft-cup bras which give full support, built-in shelf bras with underwire, sarongs that add gentle shaping to midsection, gentle tummy wraps that accentuates shape, side shirring adding gentle shaping, and overlapping tops with bottoms for gentle coverage. There are also swimsuits available in swim dress designs which offer additional coverage of hips if needed for some, and bandeau style one pieces with no straps.
