Swimsuits – comfortable and sexy

June 4, 2008

Swimsuits and designer swim wear caters for an enormous variety of shapes and sizes. A swimsuit has to stretch over bulges and bumps and still looks attractive when the mission is accomplished. This can be no mean feat when we take a cross section of the population and put a swimsuit on them. Most of us at some stage in our lives will own a swimsuit, whether it is a child’s swimsuit or a swimsuit for a teenager or adult.

Nowadays, there are higher end suits that are chemical-resistant and made with stronger fabric. Some chlorine-proof suits have the disadvantage of being made of high percentage polyester, a fiber much stronger than Lycra but not nearly as elastic and comfortable. The trade-off might not be to your advantage and today; we also find swimsuits to flatter every body type and aesthetic taste. Heavier women, or those with wide hips, should definitely stick with solid colors and avoid busy prints. Halter-tops and high-necked swimsuits are a good option, too, but high-cut legs should be avoided at all costs, as they tend to emphasize the hips and those who are busty or have broad shoulders should emphasize the bottom half of their bodies; medium- to high-cut legs and printed bottoms are their safest bet, and they should stay away from deep necklines and strapless tops.

There are many types of swimsuits such as for those who prefer something classy and yet contemporary, the one-piece maillot in an animal print is a classic piece. From tiger, Dalmatian and zebra to leopard and snakeskin, these wild prints are all in vogue. Those who prefer subtlety can opt for a suit with ring details on the shoulder straps, bust or sides; they add a snazzy touch to the simplest suit and yet do not go overboard on the ‘bling’ effect and there is also a great alternative is a variety of micro fiber beachwear on the market. These suits are constructed with far stronger, advanced materials or a stronger manufactured weave of polyester and spandex. For instance, tan through bathing suits can be fully machine-washed, are chlorine and salt-resistant, and dry quickly.

The opportunity does come along where we can visit the beach or a pool where a swimsuit will be a necessity. When choosing a swimsuit there are rules that one should follow so that your swimsuit will be as flattering to your shape as possible. Not many of us are fortunate enough to own the body of a swimsuit model, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t look good.

Tips to take care of swimsuits

Heat is bad – If your suit is wet, the heat from the sun will fade the colors and loosen the elasticity. If you enter a hot tub, wear an older suit. Never machine-wash your suit – Hand wash the fabric with a gentle soap like Zero, and hang it to dry. Never use a dryer or an iron. After a swim, rinse – Whether in an ocean, swimming pool or hot tub, salt, chlorine, and bromine will eat away at the fabric. Rinsing yourself with cool or lukewarm tap water will wash away a lot of the harmful minerals and chemicals. To dry with the suit still on, lay in a shaded area. Otherwise, hang it to dry in the shade.
