What style and material is best for a swimsuit?
It is important to choose swimsuits made from fabrics that do not fade and can withstand salty sea water, such as tactel, polyamide and microfiber. They hold their shape well and dry quickly. It is important that the swimsuit contains lycra, it stretches well and takes the shape of the figure.
In order to visually reduce breasts, two-piece swimsuits with a dark bra with wide straps are suitable; a pareo on the hips will also look great. For small breasts
If you are the owner of curvy hips, then you should draw attention to the top. Choose a bright bodice with a print or trim, such as ruffles, and choose dark or plain panties. Straps fastened at the neck will help visually narrow broad shoulders, and one-piece swimsuits with wide straps will suit fuller girls.
We advise you to try on several models at once to make sure that the swimsuit fits perfectly and the style suits you perfectly, because comfort is an important factor when choosing a swimsuit.
