Whether you’ve curvier frames or athletic body types, we’re helping you to find the utterly perfect swimsuit style that fi and flatter your frame! Without further ado, let’s start with the dos and don’ts when you’re shopping for swimsuit!

Dos

1. Do try as many different suits as possible. This is because swim styles change all the time, so by continuously discovering you may find your new favourite silhouette!
2. Do size down when you’re not sure as swimsuits expand when they get wet.
3. Do use ties and adjustable straps to fit the suit to your body. Go tighter than you think. Once tied, lean forward and adjust until your bust is covered!

Don’t

1. Don’t choose a trendy silhouette if it doesn’t fit you well! Trendy pieces don’t make you look flattering if they don’t suit you. Always bare in mind, great style always begins with a great fit, so it’s more important to find the silhouette that best flatters your figure.
2. Don’t assume that a larger size or more fabric will give you more flattering coverage. Many women tend to purchase suits that are way too large for them. As a result, the fabric gaps and the suits don’t support properly, If you aim for more coverage, find a style that offers more coverage!
