Swimwear FAQs

What Type of Swimsuit Is Best for a Big Belly?

For those with a bigger belly, the best swimsuits are those that provide comfort and enhance your shape while offering the right amount of coverage. Here are some suggestions:

  • Ruched or Shirred One-Piece Swimsuits: These have gathered fabric around the stomach area, which can help to camouflage and smooth out the belly.
  • High-Waisted Bikini Bottoms: They provide ample coverage for the lower abdomen and when paired with a supportive top, can create a flattering silhouette.
  • Peplum Swim Tops: The flared hem of a peplum top can draw attention away from the belly and give a more balanced appearance.
  • Tankinis: This two-piece option with a longer top can cover the midsection comfortably while still offering the flexibility and ease of a bikini.
  • Swim Dresses and Skirtinis: Offering coverage and a feminine touch, swim dresses, and skirted bikinis can conceal the belly area and highlight the legs.

What Color Swimsuit Makes You Look the Tannest?

Swimsuits in darker colors, particularly black, can make your tan look more pronounced by providing a stark contrast to your skin. Besides black, bright and vibrant colors like coral, bright pink, turquoise, or neon hues can accentuate a tan. White swimsuits also make tans stand out, offering a fresh, luminous contrast to sun-kissed skin. Metallic colors, such as gold or bronze, can enhance the glow of your tan as well.

How to Find Your Swimming Costume Size

To find your swimming costume size, you'll need to take several key measurements of your body. Here's how to do it accurately:

  1. Vertical Height (Head to Toe): Stand straight with your back against a wall and measure from the top of your head down to the floor. This is your total body height, useful for determining the overall length needed in a one-piece swimming costume.
  2. Chest: Wrap the measuring tape around your chest area, across the fullest part of your breasts, and around your back. Ensure the tape is parallel to the floor and not too tight or loose. This measurement is crucial for finding a swimsuit that fits well in the bust area.
  3. Waist: Identify the narrowest part of your waist, which is usually just above your belly button. Measure this area while standing relaxed, without sucking in your stomach. The waist measurement helps in finding a costume that fits comfortably around the midsection.
  4. Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks. This helps in determining the size needed for the lower part of a one-piece or the size of bikini bottoms.

Please remember that the tape measure should fit snugly against your body, but not pinch or distort your shape when taking measurements. For accuracy, measurements are usually taken in light clothing or underwear. Once you have these basic measurements, choose the right one for you against the sizes we offer.

One Piece Swimming Suit or Two Piece Swimming Dress

One-piece and two-piece swimming costumes both look great. It mainly depends on which situations you pay more attention to. We'll simply sort out the pros and cons of both for you:

One-Piece Swimsuit:

Pros:

  • Offers streamlined coverage and support, making it ideal for swimming or active water sports.
  • Comes in various styles that can flatter different body types.
  • Can provide a sleek or elegant silhouette, often considered more traditional or classic.

Cons:

  • May not be as versatile as two-piece options.
  • Can be less convenient for bathroom breaks.
  • Might not accommodate as wide a range of body types, particularly for those with significantly different upper and lower body sizes.

Two-Piece Swimming Dress:

Pros:

  • Offers flexibility in sizing and style, allowing different sizes for the top and bottom.
  • Can be more comfortable for lounging and sunbathing.
  • Provides easier bathroom access.
  • The dress style can offer additional coverage for the hips and thighs, which some may prefer for modesty or comfort.

Cons:

  • May provide less support and coverage for active water sports.
  • Some might feel self-conscious about exposing more skin.
  • Can shift or move more during physical activity, leading to potential wardrobe malfunctions.

Do You Wear Anything Under a One-Piece Swimsuit?

Often you don't need to wear anything underneath your one-piece swimming costume, our one-piece swimming costumes have built-in or thinly padded bra cups. These additions provide support and shape, so no additional undergarments are needed. The swimming costume itself is designed to be worn directly against the skin to prevent chafing, allow for proper movement, and ensure the best fit. Wearing additional clothing, such as undergarments, can reduce the effectiveness and comfort of the swimming costume and may cause noticeable lines or discomfort.
