Ah, summer–sunshine, sandy beaches, and cool dips in the pool. Nothing defines summer fashion quite like swimwear. Whether you’re heading to the coast, lounging by the pool, or participating in a backyard water balloon fight, your choice of swimwear can help you feel confident and stylish while keeping cool. Let us help you find the perfect fit this season!
How to Find the Perfect Swimwear
Choosing swimwear that suits your body type, lifestyle, and personal preferences can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s some tips on how to narrow down your options. (Psst, we can help you with a personal swimwear fitting too!)
Know Your Body Shape
Understanding your body shape can help you identify styles that complement your natural silhouette. For pear-shaped figures, focus on swimwear with bold tops and simple bottoms to balance proportions. Those with an hourglass figure might opt for designs that accentuate curves, while rectangular shapes can benefit from swimwear with ruching or frills to add dimension. The Miraclesuit is a great option.
Prioritize Comfort
While aesthetics is important, comfort should never be overlooked. Choose swimwear that provides adequate support, especially for active outings. We specialize in bra-sized swimwear from some of our favourite bra brands like Prima Donna, Fantasie, Empreinte and Marie Jo. A great fitting cup along with adjustable straps, padded cups, and elastic bands can make all the difference.
Consider Your Activities
Think about how you’ll be spending your time in your swimwear. For water sports or swimming laps, streamlined designs with secure fits are ideal. If you’re planning to lounge and soak up the sun, explore styles with fashionable embellishments. One of our favourite brands, Shan has a beautiful selection of luxury swimwear, and they’re made in Canada!
Seek Quality and Longevity
Investing in high-quality swimwear ensures durability and resistance to elements like chlorine, saltwater, and UV rays. Look for suits with strong stitching and high-performance fabrics from the likes of Sunflair.
Accessorizing Your Swimwear
Swimwear isn’t just about the suit; it’s also about how you style it. Accessories can elevate your summer look, offering both function and flair. From sheer kaftans to lightweight sarongs, cover-ups are a must-have for transitioning from beach to boardwalk. Choose breathable fabrics and versatile designs. We have a great selection in-store and don’t forget to check out our popular Miss Versa dresses–great for travel and they have built in UV protection.
Ultimately, the best swimwear is the one that makes you feel confident and ready to embrace summer adventures. Whether you prefer bold bikinis, understated one-pieces, or sporty tankinis, let your personality shine through. This summer, dive into the season with swimwear that reflects your unique style while prioritizing comfort and confidence.
