5 tips to choose the right swimwear

Summer is finally here! Time for vacation, afternoons with friends by the swimming pool and paddleboarding on the lake. To enjoy all these wonderful activities, having swimwear tailored to your sunny ambitions is a must! Whether you shop online or in-store, find the swimsuit that best suits your summer pace.

1 — Figure out your needs and wants

Will you be surfing or participating in other water activities? Will you be wearing your swimsuit solely to relax by the beautiful water? Do you wish to have versatile swimwear or do you prefer to have a swimsuit for each occasion? Once you have answered these questions, you will be that much closer to finding your perfect swimsuit!

2 — Two-piece versus one-piece

If you like the idea of versatility, a two-piece swimsuit allows you to kill two birds with one stone by matching different tops with the same bottom. You can choose a more standard bottom that goes well with both a sports top and a top with more gentle support. On the other hand, the one-piece swimsuit has made a strong fashion comeback in recent years. Bright colours, textures and original cuts await in several brands. Its ultimate advantage? The comfort and ease it provides to all body types.

3 — Choose support that matches your sporting abilities

Bust support is key when choosing sports swimwear for women. For two-piece swimsuits, we recommend that you choose styles that provide better support on top (wider straps, greater coverage, etc.). For one-piece styles, a good support of the bust area and wide straps will ensure that you can move more freely.

4 — It’s important to try it on!

This is a known fact. A “small” size in one brand can be a “medium” in another brand. Ideally, bring several styles of different sizes into the fitting room so you can find the one that fits you best. The diversity of body types and self-acceptance are the trend. It’s important to choose swimwear that makes you feel good, regardless of the size printed on the label!

5 — Find the cut that suits you

Nowadays, amazing selections of styles with different cuts are available in different brands, for both one-piece swimsuits and bikini-types. For the bottom, you can choose between higher cuts, cheeky or those that cover more. You can also choose a high rise, normal or low rise cut. For the top, there are even more choices: triangle bikini, wide straps, “bralette” or “bandeau” style, v-neck, push-up bra, etc. Each cut suits different shapes.

Ode to stylish comfort

The days are gone when you had to choose between a “nice trendy style” or a “comfortable style”. Today, you can have it all in the same swimsuit!
