Swimsuit: learn how to use it to rock your beach look

With the current evolution of fashion, the rapid updating of trends is present in clothes and shoes, but also in swimwear. Beachwear is stronger than ever, with super updated collections full of references, which undoubtedly provides an extra incentive to update your summer look.

Some time ago the bikini was unanimous, and the swimsuits were left aside for hiding the body more. But with the advancement of beachwear, the swimsuit has gained more space and conquered many women.

Currently, the swimsuit has been the first option for a look for the beach or the pool, as the models have been reformulated and now they are made with new fabrics and prints, but also with more necklines, ensuring the same sensuality as a bikini. Even the sophistication of some pieces allows them to be used in other environments, besides the beach.

Learn how to wear a swimsuit

Discover the different models of swimsuits that you can find in stores and enhance your summer look. See below how to wear this beachwear with different features, with tips from fashion consultant Érica Minchin.

colorful swimsuits

Colors are very present features in beachwear and certainly, the warmer seasons remind us of colorful pieces. The consultant Érica warns that the biggest influence of colors is how they reflect on people’s faces.

Color can make all the difference, as it can highlight dark circles or even highlight points you want to disguise. Meanwhile, the right choice of color can enhance the tan and as Érica adds: “The right color of the swimsuit can even make the appearance more ruddy, with that ‘summer color’ that we are looking for”.

printed swimsuits

The prints can be used as tricks to enhance or disguise the proportions of the body, as Erica indicates: “Here it is worth thinking about the proportion of the print in relation to the bone structure and stature of the person”.

“Contrary to that story that a small print makes you slim and a big print makes you fat, the print in the right size creates a harmonious result – that is, small people look more harmonious with a small print and bigger people look better with a bigger print”, adds Érica.

black swimsuits

As with dresses, the color black is seen as a great joker when choosing a piece, so as not to run the risk of making a mistake. However, Érica warns: “Contrary to what most people believe, black does not favor everyone”.

According to the consultant, the person who looks good wearing the color black, when choosing the color, can convey an idea of ​​grandeur and authority. But at the same time, in some cases the color can become overloaded and create a sad and melancholy air.

swimsuits fool mom

This model is without a doubt one of the swimsuits that provide the most sensuality due to the amount of skin it exposes. The model can also be an option for those who do not want to wear a bikini, but also do not want a bathing suit that is too closed.

The model provides an idea of ​​a more refined waist, being a good alternative for those who have this region of the body that is not so accentuated. Érica emphasizes the importance of sunscreen when choosing this model, if the intention is not to make the mark so evident.

Swimsuits strapless

This neckline model is very present in party dresses mainly, but it also makes swimwear very elegant. This neckline is great for anyone who wants to highlight the neck and arms region.

As the consultant indicates, the strapless fits better in women with small breasts, and short women can also bet on this model as a resource to elongate the silhouette. Another advantage of the neckline is to avoid the tan marks that can conflict with some models of blouses.

retro swimsuits

Most vintage swimsuits are inspired by the 50s, as the consultant Érica teaches, and these models refer to a sweeter style and are also more closed, leaving a smaller amount of skin exposed.

Some of the models have a different seam and structure in the cup, which can be an advantage for those with larger breasts, due to the support that the model provides. These pieces are undoubtedly for women who have a more creative style and are not afraid to dare.

Swimsuits with maxi neckline

The maxi neckline is a way to compensate for the body parts that are hidden by the swimsuit. To opt for this model, it is interesting that you feel safe with your body, especially in the region of the breasts and lap.

“It’s excellent for those who have a small bust and a good alternative to the “mother trick”, guides Érica, due to the sensuality that the cleavage provides. The consultant also indicates that the sensuality of the piece may vary according to the size of the bust and the slit.

Swimsuits with ruffles

The ruffles present on the clothes convey a romantic idea and a more delicate style. This feature in the pieces can also be used as a trick to highlight a specific region of the body.

“When choosing models with ruffles, it is worth considering the part of the body that you want to enlarge and choosing a model with ruffles in that region”, confirms the consultant. Which confirms that ruffles can be used as a butt or breast enlargement tactic, as many women desire.

elaborate swimsuits

Swimsuits with embroidery, articles in acrylic and with different fabrics, are the most elaborate pieces and that can often fulfill the role of body, if mixed with other pieces in the lower part of the body, such as skirts and shorts.

The fashion consultant points out that these pieces are good options for refined parties, such as a “pool party”, for example, or for a boat trip. At the same time, Érica points out that these pieces can be not very functional in practice, especially on the beach.

What is the best swimsuit for my shape?

The correct model of a piece of clothing, as well as beachwear, can enhance some points of the female body, but also disguise others. The consultant Érica gives tips for choosing the most suitable model for your body: “The strapless and slit swimsuits are great for those who have a small bust, regardless of whether they are rectangular or triangular”.

About one of the most sensual swimsuit models, the “fool mom”, the consultant adds that they are more suitable for those who want to enhance the waist and have a rectangular body, as it thins this region of the body.

For those who want to disguise the large bust, it is recommended to invest in a piece that has wider straps, which provides greater support for the breasts, and will guarantee your comfort and safety on the beach.

A game of balance can also be made using specific prints and models, such as to disguise wide hips, for example. Érica advises: “To compensate for wide hips, it is worth investing in strapless, one-shouldered models and also in pieces with prints and other details that divert attention to the height of the bust”.
