Buyer's Guide: How to Purchase Women's Swimwear

We do not intend to body shame anyone – curvy or skinny, you’re all beautiful in your own exclusive way. However, while buying the right swimwear, you are required to know the ones that will flaunt your body. If you’ve got it, you might as well flaunt it. You’re going to flaunt it right when you know what looks best on you.

There is something for every woman when you go swimwear shopping in India. Here’s our guide on what looks best depending on different body types:

  • Huge Bust: All you busty ladies need not worry if you want to have some fun on the beach or pool. Thick straps and double stitched bands are what you should be looking for. Go for extra bust support with cups that are exactly your size and underwire to keep them where they belong. You should avoid string bikinis and swimsuits that come only in smaller sizes.
  • Small Chest: Go for some padding if your gals are smaller. You can also choose to pick ruffles on the chest or embellishments that would help cover them up and make them appear bigger. Here is a tip for you: if you don’t mind what others opine, wear whatever under the sun you want to.
  • Big Booty: Swimwears with ample coverage fabric on the back are your best friends if you want to avoid discomfort of tugging your swimwear to see if they are always in place. Avoid string bikinis and skimpy cut swimsuits and you are all good to go.
  • Flat Butt: Show a little cheek to give the illusion of bigger butt and go for ruffles and frills or heavy prints to distract from the smaller butts. It is better to avoid complete coverage as they would bring out the real shape.
  • Bulge: High waist bottom does the trick of covering the extra love handles. You can also pick darker shades and heavy prints to draw attention away from the torso.
  • Back Bulge: Do not pick thin straps that will dig into flesh and leave marks. Go for thicker straps and coverable back designs instead of open ones.
  • Short Legs: If you can be bold, a high cut on the bottom will do the trick of a string bottom with high strings.
  • Fat Thighs: Opt for high coverage shorts or skirts that would cover the upper region of the thighs to give a leaner look to the legs.
  • Pregnancy Tummy: If you have a little bulge left from pregnancy on the lower abdomen, choose a one piece suit with a plunging neckline to divert attention from the tummy.
  • Cellulite: Pick the ones with longer hemlines and you are good to go. There are plenty of styles in this category and it shouldn’t be difficult to find one that offers coverage with style.

Selecting the Best Fabric

Polyester

This material is combined with a lot of others materials to dominate the suitwear industry in India and worldwide. Here are its characteristics to help you decide:

  • Strong and soft at the same time
  • Does not shrink
  • Dries easily
  • Chlorine resistant
  • UV protection
  • Retains shape

Polybutylene Terephthalate

The stretching quality of this fabric is quite similar to that of lycra. Its characteristics are mentioned below:

  • Lightweight fabric
  • Matte look
  • Choline and snag resistant
  • Repels water and quick dry

Nylon

This is quite similar to polyester expect that nylon is not chlorine resistant and not as long-lasting as well. Here are its characteristics:

  • Shiny and soft
  • Does not absorb moisture
  • Great elasticity
  • Easy to wash
  • Scratch resistant

Lycra

Most of the swimwear in India has a combination of lycra fabric with other materials. Here are its characteristics:

  • Extremely stretchable
  • Retains moistureRetains moisture
  • Breathable
  • Very comfortable and soft

Brand vs. Design

If you are confused as most are on whether to go for a branded swimwear that offers quality of cheap replicate that offers the same design, allow us to help you decide. While the branded ones are going to cost anything between Rs. 1000 – 7000, the cheap replicate will come for almost half or lesser of that price.

If you are someone who is buying a swimwear for a one time occasion or beach vacation, you can go for the non-brands that you are wear and throw off. However, there are a few things to note here.

The non-branded ones may come for a cheaper price, but they might not be of good fit always, which will lead to awkward situation. The colour can bleed in water which is not a very pleasant experience.

The stitch will be mostly poor and can lead to a whole wardrobe malfunction. We recommend that you opt for a good brand that is known for its quality and style, some examples of which are already provided for your reference above.

They will not only last longer but also look rather stunning and perfectly fitted to your body as compared to the cheaper ones. The cheaper ones can turn good too but you have to take a huge risk with it.
