The arrival of summer heralds the arrival of the dissolving swimsuit season. Here comes the never-ending claptrap about how to “flatter your figure.” That’s not something you’ll find around here. If anything, I’ll tell you to wear whatever makes you feel good. Nonetheless, a few common blunders may be avoided when shopping for a swimsuit. Read on for a description of the issues and suggestions for addressing them.
You Still Wear That Same Old Suit All The Time
The bikini was adorable back in the day, but here’s the thing: swimsuits are typically constructed of elastic and stretched out after repeated wears. It could be time to retire that one favorite item of clothing and welcome a fresh new look. Alternatively, you could keep buying the same thing and stop trying to impress me. That’s all I’m doing to avoid flaccid thigh syndrome.
You Do Not Purchase Swimwear Bikini Based On Activities
If you’re one of the numerous women who has worn her bikini to the beach and then the surf, I beg you to stop. Why? Because you do not want your bikini to untie or your top to come off the moment you enter the water, whether you plan on engaging in vigorous activities like paddle boarding or diving into the water while swimming laps. This is why there are sporty clothing options available. They’re helpful, and they’ll maintain their composure in high-stakes sporting circumstances. They’re still adorable, by the way. See the one down below for an example of what I mean.
Your Tops Lack Sufficient Support
This one goes out to the ladies with fuller busts. There are many adorable, supportive options; no, they’re not all balconette bra silhouettes. Try this one on for size, or go shopping for something with a wider band or strap.
That’s Right. You Consider One-Piece Suits To Be The Epitome Of Dorky
Some one-pieces have a matronly air, but not all of them. It’s possible to find extremely lovely, current, and even extremely seductive fashions if you know where to look. For sexy yet reasonably priced styles, I recommend Urban Outfitters, Revolve, and the independent label Lauren Layne Swim.
You’re Buying Pants That Are Too Big For You
This is another attempt to avoid the dreaded saggy butt condition. Many ladies, including my former self, have gone up a size in bottoms or one-pieces to hide any unwanted bulges. But if you size bigger, the suit won’t fit properly when you get out of the water, and it might even come off when you dive in. The problem will worsen as you continue wearing the swimsuit because they expand with time. A well-fitting piece can be identified by the wearer’s ability to try it on, move around, and have everything stay precisely where it should.
Conclusion
Imagine you go to the store and find a swimsuit in your size. Everything looks fine on dry land, but issues begin to surface as soon as you step into the pool. For instance, when your swimsuit gets wet, it tends to sag quite. As water resistance increases, this is bad news for competitive swimmers doing laps. A droopy swimsuit fails even at the level of the casual beach or pool goer who values aesthetics over practicality.
