Sun, sea, sunbeds – and that eternal dilemma: which swimsuit to choose? Whether you're planning a relaxed day at the beach, an active swim or a photoshoot with a cocktail, the right swimsuit can make the difference between discomfort and confidence. Forget about trends that last a week – choosing a swimsuit is a matter of form, not the form of a trend. Here's how to choose one that flatters, supports and liberates you.
1. Body first – then trend
You don't have to have the "ideal" body for a swimsuit. A swimsuit should have the ideal cut for your body.
- If you want to visually elongate your figure, choose swimsuits with high-cut bottoms.
- For breast support – look for models with underwire, wider straps or molded cups.
- If you want to hide your stomach – one-piece suits with pleats, prints, or darker colors work wonders.
- For more pronounced hips or stronger legs - tops with ruffles, interesting necklines or ties around the neck provide balance.
2. Colors and prints – allies or enemies
- Dark colors are classically "safe", but also boring.
- Light tones, geometric prints and vertical stripes visually suppress disproportions.
- Floral and tropical patterns bring cheerfulness – and summer is the time for a little courage.
3. Material and cut are half the fun
Don't settle for thin, transparent, or inelastic materials – even the most beautiful design falls flat if the swimsuit twists, slips, or loses its shape when it gets wet.
Try a swimsuit that you can move freely in – sit, walk, swim. If it's tight, pulls in, or reveals more than you want – it's not for you.
4. Listen to yourself, not Instagram
Summer is too short for comparison and insecurities. Swimming is not a test of self-confidence, but a tool for enjoyment.
If you like how you feel in the mirror – that's the one. No one wears your body better than you.
Ending advice
There is no "perfect beach body" – there is only the beach and your body on it. So, choose a swimsuit that sets you free, not one that hides you.
This season, you're not looking for the perfect model. You're looking for peace in your own skin – and a few days under the sun.
