Cora Whether you’re holidaying abroad this year or heading off to sunny LA, it’s time to sort out your swimwear.But who’d have thought such a small amount of fabric could be so troublesome a purchase? Whether you prefer bikinis or one-pieces, choosing the right cut, color and fabric can feel like an uphill struggle. For some useful tips, you can refer to the following articles.
For classic string bikinis, you can have a try. Pretty floral cotton triangle bikinis are perfect for lazy days spent sunbathing in the countryside.
For a more supportive bikini, with underwired cups, check out some classic brands. Shorts-style briefs are great for the beach.
Padded bikinis tops are now available if you wish to maximize your cleavage, while a well-cut one-piece can minimize a larger bust.
Bravissimo, the lingerie mail order catalog, stocks a great range of swimsuits and bikinis in cup sizes up to 40G and this season includes a swimsuit in an H-cup.
Luckily most department stores now sell bikini tops and bottoms separately, allowing you the convenience of buying two different sizes.
Prints will look more summery than a plain color but step carefully. If certain colors drain you as daywear, they will do the same as swimwear.
But try a shade brighter than you usually would, as lighter brighter colors look great with a tan.
If you plan to use the hotel swimming pool be sure to rinse your swimwear thoroughly as chlorine will eventually rot the fabric.
Likewise, when putting your bikini away at the end of the season be sure to wash it properly, as suntan oil, sand and sea salt residues will fade the color and destroy the fabric.
If sun tanning is your main objective, take a selection of different styles with you on holiday to avoid those tell-tale tan lines. Try a halter neck one day and a bandeau style the next to ensure your tan evenly.
