Separate models

Models of separate swimsuits are also called open. The degree of openness of the top and bottom may vary. These types of swimwear are good in that you can combine top and bottom in style, style, and color.

  • Bikini. The most open of all types of swimwear. Its feature is small panties in the form of two triangles that are tied on the hips. The bra can be with soft and compacted cups, with bones and without frame, with push up inserts and without them. This is the most extensive group of models.
  • "Monokini", "Trikini". These models can also be classified as fused, but as open as possible. Their distinguishing feature is the detail that connects the top and bottom. Options can be different: a wide strip in the middle of the abdomen, thin straps on the sides, weaving of ribbons. These original and seductive models emphasize the elegance of style.
  • The Bando. The “bando” model, as in the fused version, also has a horizontal line. It can be with a soft, hard cup, with a frame, bones, with shoulder straps on the sides, in the middle and without shoulder straps.
  • "Push up." The peculiarity of this model is solid cups with a special frame and an insert with which you can raise the chest and increase its volume. If necessary, the liner can be easily removed.
  • Halter. The bodice can be on thin and thick straps, but fastens behind the neck. It supports breasts well even in a soft cup.

Features of sports models

Models of sports half-closed swimwear are sewn from dense, elastic fabrics that fit the body well, but do not constrain movements. As a rule, in sports models, the cup is sealed, which supports the chest. For swimming, sports, beach games, acrobatics, most often choose one-piece swimsuit models with tight seams, closed chest and back. There are also separate models with a compacted cup, but without a frame. For the pool, you can use models of the "body" type with the maximum closed back and chest.

Swimsuit and body type

How to choose a swimsuit for a figure? Yes, and so in order to remain satisfied with the new purchase and there was a low waist? After all, it often happens that a swimsuit is acquired spontaneously: I liked it on someone, I liked the color or an interesting model. But at the very first exit to the beach, constraint, inconvenience, discomfort are felt. To avoid this, you need to know about some of the nuances of selecting a model depending on the type of figure.

  • Swimsuit for figure "pear". The disproportionality of the silhouette is the main feature of such a figure. It is characterized by: light, narrow top and heavy bottom with wide hips, full legs. It is worth attracting attention to the elegant top and distracting from problem areas. What models will help to do this? For such a figure, both separate and one-piece swimwear are suitable. In separate models, the straps on the bodice should be thin to emphasize the graceful neck and arms. The swimming trunks should be wide to emphasize the waist. To balance the disproportionality of the silhouette will help foam inserts, ruffles, drapery bodice. The shortcomings of the figure are emphasized: swimming trunks with ties, a high neckline on the hips, underpants with a skirt, thin bikinis. Among the fused models, it is worth paying attention to swimwear in the Empire style with a thin strap and a wide constriction under the chest. Plain sports swimsuits with a light horizontal insert under the chest will also look good on such a figure.
  • Swimsuit for the figure "apple". This type is characterized by: slender legs, graceful arms, a rounded shape of the abdomen and chest, without a pronounced waist. With such data, it is necessary to emphasize the legs, visually lengthen the body, not to focus on the chest and abdomen. Which swimwear models are most suitable? The ideal option is a tankini in the form of a T-shirt with wide straps, a deep neckline. You can choose a halter - with ties on the neck. Silhouettes with a high neckline will further slim your legs. One-piece swimsuits with wide straps, a square or V-neck are also suitable. The ruffles and draperies in the abdomen well mask the wide waist. What else to look for? The material should be dense and elastic, without gloss. There should be bones in the bra cups. A woman with an apple in a bikini swimsuit, strapless or with thin straps will be uncomfortable.
  • Rectangle swimsuit. This type of waist is not outlined, the silhouette has the shape of a rectangle. The task when choosing a swimsuit is to divert attention from a wide waist. To smooth out the imbalances, it is better to choose styles with high swimming trunks, a U-shaped neck, thin straps, cups without foam, wide bodices. Of the models, feminine “tankinis” are most suitable. Wide swimming trunks with decorative accessories (skirts, ruffles, belts) will increase the hips in volume, thereby visually narrowing the waist. Sports swimwear with smooth lines are well suited for a rectangular figure, they only emphasize the dignity of the figure. You can also safely put on separate swimwear, the upper and lower parts of which are connected by a strip. What emphasizes the flaws? Geometric cuts, thongs, swimming trunks in the form of shorts, bodice type "bandeau".
  • Hourglass swimsuit. Women with an hourglass figure in swimsuits of any style look flawless. A balanced top and bottom does not require any “camouflage” and “distracting” moments. But still, nature is not perfect. With this type of figure, there are magnificent forms, large or small breast size, wide hips. But the main advantage - an elegant waistline - always remains. With an average build, you can choose a style without straps or with straps through the neck. With more magnificent forms, the chest should be well fixed, the bodice should be on wide straps or tied around the neck. Solid elastic swimwear that accentuates the waistline is well suited. It is desirable that the selected model was with a rigid cup. Short legs with such a figure visually lengthen the high neckline on the hips and a triangular neckline. The elongated torso can be “shortened” using rounded cutouts on the sides.
  • Swimsuit for a large bust. In this case, it is necessary to consider not only the aesthetic, but also the practical side. Big breasts need to be well fixed, otherwise it will cause trouble while swimming, staying on the beach, swimming in the pool. Therefore, instead of the bodice, you can choose a top on the bones, which holds the chest well. A bra with a large breast should always be with bones and only on wide straps. They will help to keep the posture straight, unload the back. The diagonal line of the breast will be successful, that is, all models with a smell with a large breast will make it even more attractive. Recommended models of bodices with a dense pulling mesh inside. Thin straps, light tissues, unfixed cups, and foam inserts should be avoided.
  • Swimsuit for a small bust. There are many ways to visually enlarge a breast: dense cups with bones, push up bras, draperies, ruffles, accessories. It is important that the compacted bodice fit snugly on the body and fit in size. Mechanical breast augmentation does not always decorate. Breast enlargement bra with a horizontal line. The most suitable model of the "bando": without straps, with straps, as far removed or leaving the center of the bodice. If the owner of a small breast does not set a goal to visually increase it, then the most natural option is a triangular-shaped cup. A swimsuit with small breasts may well be on a thin ribbon, with thin straps, pitted, a fixed cup. There is no need to enlarge the bust with a slim, miniature figure and elastic breast.
  • Swimsuit for wide hips. With wide hips, all attention should be focused on the top. To do this, you need to select such models of bras that increase the chest and bring proportionality to the figure. Bright bodices, deep necklines are well suited. Bottom is better to choose dark shades, visually narrow the hips with dark inserts on the sides. You also need to choose swimming trunks with a mid-cut neckline. Belts, draperies, stitching, skirts, any transverse accessories further increase the volume of the hips.

What is important to consider when choosing? It is better to buy one expensive and high-quality than several cheap swimwear. A high-quality swimsuit will last more than one season: it is pleasant for the body, does not “bite”, does not stretch, and does not fade in the sun. Brand swimwear is worth buying in early spring, new collections appear at this time. The closer to summer, the fewer options for choice.

Color selection

How to choose a swimsuit color? Many points must be taken into account: type of figure, color type, personal taste, fashion trends. Well, if all the points are consistent with each other. The color is like, perfectly emphasizes the dignity of the figure, is suitable for the color of the eyes, skin, hair, and you won’t blame the owner of such a swimsuit for old-fashioned. How to find this best option?


By type of figure

The color and type of the picture help balance the imbalances in the figure.

  • For a full figure. Dark deep colors that will visually reduce the silhouette will do. Floral print and vertical stripes are also recommended. A wide and bright vertical stripe in the middle will attract attention and thereby hide a wide waist. Dark contrasting inserts on the sides outline the waist well. Swimwear for obese women with a large bust should not be bright, with a bright, large pattern, in a horizontal strip, with any transverse ornament, made of shiny fabrics.
  • For a figure like "pear". It is necessary to choose contrasting colors - light top, dark bottom. The bodice can be colored, colorful, peas, stripes, and swimming trunks - plain. The "merry" top will attract attention. On a one-piece swimsuit, a large pattern is permissible, but there should be an insert that delimits the top and bottom, emphasizes the thin waist.
  • For a rectangle shape. Bright, saturated, contrasting colors are suitable. It is better to avoid floral patterns. For merged models, a diagonal pattern is ideal, which will narrow the waist.
  • With other features of the figure. All colors are suitable for hourglass. For large breasts - combined bra color: the lower part is light, and the upper is dark. Small breasts will be enlarged by transverse patterns, light colors, bright colors of geometric shapes, small floral patterns. With narrow hips and shoulders, you can safely purchase bright swimsuits and light-colored models.




By color

The most important principle: the color of the swimsuit does not match the tone of the hair or skin.

  • Blondes Blond women with fair skin will suit bright models. Also, the presence of oriental, Indian motifs in a coloring would be an ideal option. White-skinned swimwear are definitely not suitable for whites, with sandy, light tones. The color of blondes is lilac, burgundy, turquoise, pink, ripe cherries. It is better to avoid shades of orange and white.
  • Brunettes For brunettes with white skin, it is better to avoid white, monophonic swimsuits in rich purple and blue. Pale skin and dark hair go well with the delicate color of caramel and peach, which will give the skin warm shades. With swarthy skin and dark hair, you can wear bright swimwear with the most saturated palette of raspberry, emerald, blue, burgundy, chocolate and other colors. Light yellow and light green tones are less suitable.
  • Brown hair. In this case, the selection range is much wider. After all, brown-haired women are different: with light blond and dark brown hair, fair-skinned and dark-skinned, with gray, green, blue, brown eyes. To a brown-haired woman with fair skin it is better to avoid too light shades and catchy colors. The brown-haired woman with dark skin is suitable for soft and gentle warm tones of swimwear that emphasize the figure. The ideal color is milk chocolate. Many brown-haired models are suitable for brown, green, lilac shades. Solid black, white, red, blue, green colors are not recommended. It is better to choose models with a picture.
  • Red-haired. The warmth of an already “hot” image will add a rich green color. It is better to choose fresh shades of green. Brown, beige, caramel, terracotta, rich yellow is also well suited. Most red-haired women with white skin, so it’s better not to buy a swimsuit of white, sandy, delicate peach color, against their background the skin will be even paler. The red color of a swimsuit with red hair is something explosive and, indeed, should correspond to temperament.




About winning and non-winning colors

  • White Refers to the most successful color, which shades well tanned skin. But he makes white skin painful, with a bluish tint. Also, white color is considered the most provocative: it is not even a matter of transparency, but of those drawbacks of the figure that white easily underlines. Therefore, a white swimsuit can afford a girl or woman with a perfect figure. Often white is not chosen from a purely practical point of view - too easily soiled for swimming. But for sunbathing on a deck chair - it’s quite suitable.
  • Blue and cyan. The colors that are most common among plain swimsuits. Like white, they can stick out the flaws of the figure. But with a full figure, a one-piece blue swimsuit is almost an ideal option.
  • The black . The fused black model is a swimsuit that slim. The nobility of this color leaves no doubt. But keep in mind that color quickly fades in the sun. It has its own moodiness: not all models in the black version look profitable. In most cases, it is still suitable for slim women. Separate model of black color does not reduce curvaceous forms, and, on the contrary, emphasizes problem areas. In this case, it is better to purchase models with color inserts on black swimming trunks and a bodice.
  • Red One of the boldest flowers. You need to be ready for excessive attention (not just male!). Red is a signal color; it catches the eye on a subconscious level. A woman in a red swimsuit may not always have perfect forms. But she definitely should have confidence in herself and in her own attractiveness.
  • Green Dark, saturated colors of green are chosen less often, and stylists carefully handle this color. Of all the shades of green, juicy or delicate shades are most suitable for swimwear.
  • Multi-colored models. These are swimsuits that hide the flaws of the figure. Also, stylists recommend paying attention to accessories: rhinestones, belts, appliques, embroideries, and decorative finishes. These elements not only create a certain style, but also shift emphasis, somewhere “add”, and somewhere “decrease".

Which swimsuit to choose? First of all, the choice depends on the type of figure. It is important to consider the quality, elasticity, density of the fabric, colors, size. A well-chosen swimsuit, like any accessory, emphasizes good taste, refined style, femininity, and character traits.

Even on an ideal figure, a swimsuit can look ridiculous if it is not sized to fit. The dimensional grid of this clothing line is the most impressive - its indices range from 38 to 56. That is, the question of how to compare their parameters and letters (numbers) on the packaging worries a lot of fashionistas, lovers of tanning and beaches.

The proportions of the female body are constantly changing, and it is necessary to update the beach wardrobe constantly. When choosing, many ladies start from their own concepts of beauty, the latest fashion trends, completely forgetting to ask themselves the question - how to choose the right size for a swimsuit. When buying a particular model, they pay attention to everything - the material, decoration and prints, the demand for style, forget to look at the etiquette, where the parameters are indicated.

The choice must begin with a study of the market, all available offers, the entire range, however paradoxical this advice may sound. This is necessary in order to understand what tables will need to determine your swimsuit size - European, American, Russian or Asian. Manufacturers from different countries use different designations - letters, numbers.

Preference should be given to those retail outlets or online stores where customers are given the opportunity to form a set of their own from swimming trunks and bodice with different parameters. If the figure does not meet the standards, then such an opportunity is simply necessary - they may not fit the size of a swimsuit cup or the pants will be too small.

Before choosing a swimsuit according to the table proposed by the manufacturer, you need to measure your figure, and you need to do this as accurately as possible. Need to determine girth

  • breasts
  • body under the breast
  • thallium
  • hips.

This must be done when specifying the size of all types of swimwear - for women, gymnastics, and children. But you need to take measurements correctly - not on a naked body, but wearing comfortable underwear in front of a mirror. The best option is to ask the help of loved ones, because it is quite difficult to put a centimeter tape exactly on the line of the chest and hips.

In the table of sizes of swimwear, the parameter "fullness of the chest" is often indicated. It is calculated mathematically. To find out its fullness, from the girth of the chest we subtract the girth under the chest.

How to read the size chart of swimwear

Such an intimate thing as underwear and beachwear cannot be bought in the market, in a store where they are sold without packaging. And even if in an expensive boutique a similar product is offered to be tried on with “protection”, one should not neglect the basic rules of hygiene, and do it. It is better to use the size chart of women's swimwear and determine how it is the size, whether it suits you.

On the Russian market and in Ukraine, products from Germany, the USA and domestic production are most often represented. To find out the size of a swimsuit is simple, knowing the basic rules for matching parameters:

German swimwear sizes are slightly smaller than Russian ones. As a rule, all European manufacturers use the German standardization system.

Those ladies who prefer inexpensive swimwear from China need to familiarize themselves with the Asian table.

If the bodice is a swimsuit with underwire or a push-up shape, then choosing and determining your size correctly is even more difficult. On the packaging should be indicated additional parameters of the product - its compliance with the girth of the chest in alphanumeric or numerical terms.

The European sizes of swimwear are necessarily accompanied by an indication of the choice of a cup of bodice, but Asian manufacturers do not believe that it is necessary to indicate these parameters.

Features of the choice of large models

Large swimwear, as a rule, are fused, made of a slimming material. How to choose the size of such a model? The features of the fabric, the ability of the seams to stretch, the strength of the threads should be taken into account. The chest and hips of more than 120 cm correspond to the following parameters:

  • italian - IX, X and XI,
  • international - XXL and XXXL,
  • Russia - 56 and above,
  • USA - 18 and above.

When choosing separate options, it is necessary to carefully select the bodice, its conformity to the fullness and shape of the chest, give preference to wide straps and the base of the bra, check for bones. It is very important to understand how to choose a swimsuit according to the figure, what its flaws need to be hidden, and which features should be emphasized.

The fabric from which the swimsuit is sewn for a magnificent lady should not stretch well. Only such material is able to support the figure, give it shape. The size of the straps should exactly match the height of the shoulders. The best option - ties that fix the bodice through the neck. And not through the shoulder slopes.

What to swim for a girl

How to choose the size of a swimsuit for a girl whose figure has not yet been formed - all mothers ask themselves this question. For children, a special standard table of sizes of beachwear has been developed. For Russian products, it looks like this:

In Europe, they use different standardization and parameters. If the choice fell on a Polish or German brand, then the buyer is faced with the following dimensional marking:

  • 4-5 t further.

These values \u200b\u200bcorrespond to the age of the girl for whom the model is intended. But each child is characterized by individual characteristics of development and growth, and it is impossible to be guided only by the manufacturer's recommendations when choosing beach children's clothing. Trying on a swimsuit is also not an option. Giving preference to European manufacturers, it is better to be based on visual correspondence. The recommendations of the seller-consultant.

When making a purchase on the Internet, you need to give preference to those stores where it is possible to return and exchange a children's swimsuit and a support service is working. Most of these sites have exact size tables that the manufacturer creates. They usually indicate the growth of the child, the circumference of the chest and hips.

But the most important thing is to update the beach wardrobe every year. Those who follow this rule not only always look fashionable, but also have the opportunity to choose a swimsuit that exactly matches their size. It is important to understand that we are constantly changing not only internally, but also externally.

Many women mistakenly believe that a bra and swimsuit are chosen in the same way. This is not so, because here you need to pay attention to the lower part of the swimsuit, taking certain measurements. This should be taken as responsibly as possible, because a correctly selected swimsuit allows you to emphasize the perfect figure, and if necessary, hide its flaws.

As a rule, in an ordinary store, where it is possible to measure many different products, such a question is not relevant. What can not be said about online stores, where the “fitting” takes place at a distance. I must say that all responsibility for the wrong size lies with you. Therefore, you yourself need to determine which size of the swimsuit is more suitable. To simplify the selection of this wardrobe part, a swimsuit table was developed. It, given the proportions of your body, allows you to choose the size of this product as correctly as possible.

(Video: “How to correctly determine the size of underwear Florange”)

So, you will need to measure your chest circumference and waist size. The results obtained must be compared with the table. To make the measurements as accurate as possible, it is recommended to use a new centimeter tape. Take care that it fits snugly against the body, but does not pinch it.

Features of the choice of swimwear

As a rule, a women's bathing suit consists of two parts. When choosing such a product, you need to consider some features. When choosing a bikini model, you do not need to take into account any nuances, as they should be the same size as casual underwear. The ties present on the bikini allow you to adjust the tightness of the fit of the product to the body. There should not be any problems at all.

Other bathing suits will have to be selected. For example, the presence of a bodice with hard cups is a popular swimwear model. Here, as with choosing a daily bra, you will need to measure the girth of the chest and the girth under the chest. Then from the girth of the chest, take the girth under the chest.

The resulting value is the size of the swimsuit cup, which is indicated by the letters:

    12 - 13 cm - A;

    14 - 15 cm - B;

    16 - 17 cm - C;

    18 - 19 cm - D;

    20 - 21 cm - E;

    22 - 23 cm - F;

    24 - 25 cm - G.

As a rule, the sizes of bathing bodices are indicated by a letter with a number. So, above we found out that the letter determines the size of the cup, and the figure indicates the circumference of the body under the chest. Now with this knowledge you can easily choose a separate bathing suit.

Choose the size of a one-piece swimsuit

When choosing such a product, it is also necessary to take all of the above measurements. In addition to this, growth will need to be considered. I must say that on this site you can find many swimsuits that were made for women of average height. To facilitate the selection of a closed swimsuit, you can use the special table. Russian manufacturers offer swimwear designed for girls whose height is from 158 to 164 cm. There are also models designed for height 170-176 cm.

As with other things, swimwear of foreign manufacturers can have different sizes due to the lack of a unified labeling system. Many European manufacturers use numbers to indicate bathing sizes. Although they do not correspond to the sizes of products manufactured in Russia. To correctly determine the size, it is enough to subtract 6. From the Russian size, the result is the size that European manufacturers use.

As for the German manufacturers, here the dimensions are the same as those of the European ones. Although experts recommend choosing a size larger. This is due to the fact that, according to average German parameters, the girl’s height is only 160-164 cm.

Italian swimwear is marked with numbers starting with 1. This designation corresponds to the Russian size 40-42. The number 2 means 42-44. If you have chosen a swimsuit that is made in the USA, please note that its size is in inches. One inch is 2.54 cm. Simple calculations will quickly determine the desired size.

On this trading floor, the largest number of swimwear is provided by China. When choosing such products, be sure to contact the seller. You can also carefully familiarize yourself with the dimensional grid that is attached to a particular product. This need arises due to the fact that Asian women are significantly different in parameters from Russian women.

Shoulders.Women who consider their shoulders wide enough are advised to choose a bathing suit that does not have wide straps and strapless. Also, you do not need to use any jewelry around the shoulders. All this visually increases shoulders even more. It is also worth paying attention to the neckline, it is desirable that it be deep enough. In the opposite way, you can increase your shoulders, if necessary. It is recommended to choose a swimsuit, the top of which will be slightly lighter than the lower part.

Chest.If you are the owner of too big breasts, when choosing a swimsuit, you should pay special attention to the cups with bones. This is because the breast will have support. For the same purpose, you can use wide straps. In this case, the top of the swimsuit should be a couple of tones darker. If you have a small breast, you can pay attention to the cups with special inserts. This will visually increase the breast and make the girl more attractive.

Hips.The owner of wide hips is recommended to concentrate the attention of others on the upper part of the swimsuit. Therefore, try to choose a suit whose bottom will be plain. The top in this case should be quite bright and decorated. In addition, it is not recommended to use any decor elements in the waist area, so that others do not focus on your hips. If a woman needs to focus the attention of those around her hips, it is necessary to do the opposite. Ruffles, bows and bright patterns will help you with this.

Legs. If you have too long legs, there are no special rules when choosing a swimsuit. In any case, they look beautiful. What can not be said about short legs. Here you need to try to visually lengthen them. To do this, you can use the high rise of the bottom of the swimsuit. You can also choose panties on the sides of which there are high necklines. Do not forget that cutouts are only suitable for thin hips. An ideal choice would be a swimsuit on which a vertical strip will be applied.

Completeness. For women prone to fullness, it is better to choose the muted colors of a swimsuit. It is desirable that the product was made of a matte material. Middle cutouts on the sides and a bodice with cups with bones will do. Vertical lines visually reduce the completeness of the owner of a swimsuit.

How to determine your swimsuit size

Swimwear is increasingly gaining popularity not only in the summer. They are worn for swimming in pools all year round. There are types of dancing in swimsuits. They are sewn from various fabrics. A variety of colors. There are closed swimsuits - completely hiding the torso. Open - consisting of a bra and swimming trunks. Modern models came up with a skirt. Choosing this wardrobe item is not a simple matter.

The swimsuit should fit well on the figure, fit it. But do not drag it down. And be comfortable to wear. This product gives harmony, highlights the waist, hides some of the flaws on the body of beauties. Do not strive to buy a thing less than it should. Trying to visually reduce their size. This will lead to the opposite effect. To achieve a perfect fit, you need to correctly calculate the norm of your swimsuit.

To fix the data of a solid product, you need to measure the bust - the coverage of the chest and under it. And also growth, waist and buttock coverage. Growth is not difficult to calculate - lean against the wall, stand evenly and draw a mark with a pencil where the back of the head ends. Then take a tape measure or tape and measure the distance from the floor to the mark. It will be your height.

Measure the waist at the narrowest part, and the hips - at the most prominent line. Measure your body in underwear. Swimsuit is the second skin. And it should fit the woman as much as possible. Consider the quality of the fabric. If the product has little elastane, then it will stretch a little from the humid environment. Therefore, do not buy it larger than necessary.

The table contains Russian indicators from 38 to 60. The figures of the waist, chest and hips are indicated for more accurate recognition of body parameters. Accordingly, the English sizes from 4 to 26. American from 0 to 22. European from 32 to 54. International from XXS to XXXL.

For example, as a result of measurements, the waist is 72 cm and the chest is 100 cm, then according to the swimsuit table, a solid model of the 46th Russian size will suit you. 40th European and M - international. Manufacturers usually indicate growth on product labels. Russia sets growth figures from 158 to 164 and from 170 to 176.

If you decide to acquire a separate swimsuit, you will need to set the sizes separately for panties and for a bra. For panties - waist and hips. For a bra - the volume of the bust and under it. As well as the size table, see and compare the data. For example, if the waist is 84 cm and the hips correspond to 104 cm, then look for the number 52 on the swimming trunks label.

Determine the bra by the dimensional grid for bras and bras. If the chest is in the range of 86 cm and under the bust is 68 cm, then you need to buy a bra with a cup C.

If your numbers do not match the table, choose a larger option. So that the swimsuit does not turn out to be small. Again, pay attention to the composition of the fabric.

There is a huge assortment of swimwear, which are divided into several main groups - separate, merged, sports. For a woman, the purchase of such a wardrobe detail is an important event, because every woman wants to look amazing on the beach or in the pool. To help with choosing the right swimsuit size helps the table, which will separately indicate the data for the upper and lower parts of the bathing suit.

Features of choosing a swimsuit

First of all, it takes into account the type of figure. There are several types:

  • "Pear" - Suitable for separate and piece swimsuits. Shoulder straps in separate swimsuits should be thin, swimming trunks should be chosen wide, with ties, high cuts in the hips. It is recommended to choose a bodice with drapery or ruffles. Swimwear should be monophonic sports type or with one light insert in the chest area.
  • "Hourglass" - swimwear of any style is suitable.
  • "Rectangle" - we need swimsuits with high swimming trunks, bodices on thin straps, cups without foam.
  • "An Apple" - you should choose a tankini, which has the shape of a T-shirt with a deep neckline and wide straps, or a hatler model, which is characterized by the presence of ties on the neck. You can choose fusion swimwear with square or v-shaped cuts, ruffles on the stomach. The material of the bodice and swimming trunks should be elastic and dense.

Also takes into account the size of the bust, which affects the type of bodice, the size of the straps. The owners of a large bust need tops on the bones to support the chest. You can choose bras with a mesh of a draining character, with wide straps.

Push-up bodices with tight cups and drapery are suitable for small breasts. The bra should fit snugly and fit in size.

Women with wide hips will need bodices that will visually increase the breasts, balance the figure. It is better to buy a bra light or bright, and swimming trunks - dark.

Other important factors:

  • Preference should be given to quality, which will help bring a swimsuit for several seasons.
  • Swimwear from famous brands are sold at attractive prices in the very beginning of spring.
  • The color of the swimsuit is chosen taking into account the type of figure, the taste of the woman, fashion trends, color type. The color scheme should emphasize all the advantages of the figure, fit the color of the eyes and hair.
  • Swimsuit material. Fabrics that feel like cotton or silk will not fade under the sun, withstand the influence of sea water. Preference is given to models from textiles, microfiber, polyamide, polyester. It will be excellent if the composition of the materials will include lycra, which is responsible for the elasticity and tension of the products. Such fabrics hold their shape, do not stretch, dry quickly.

Full ladies fit dark saturated colors, swimwear with floral prints and vertical stripes. Owners of a pear-like figure need a bodice and swimming trunks of a contrasting color. In particular, the bodice is motley, striped, in flowers, and swimming trunks should be monophonic.

Young women with a rectangle figure need rich, vibrant and contrasting colors. Floral ornament will not work. Full-breasted ladies suit swimwear with a dark top and a light bottom. Geometric ornaments on the bodice, light colors and transverse patterns will help visually increase the chest. Girls whose type of figure refers to the hourglass, you can choose a swimsuit of any color.

By type of swimwear are divided into:

  • Fused.
  • Separate.

The first type is suitable for girls with wide hips, shoulders, curvaceous. The bodice helps to hide wide hips in bright tones or colors. Shoulders will hide the straps that are tied around the neck, or bodices with wide straps, comfortable cups.

A separate swimsuit suits many young ladies. Depending on the type of figure, each part is selected - bodice and swimming trunks.

Swimsuit sizes, how to determine your own?

Bathing suits for women are presented in such sizes:

  • S is small.
  • M is medium.
  • L is big.

This is an international classification system that is universal, but it differs from Russian and American. Table 1 shows the sizes of swimwear according to the international and Russian classification.

You can find a suitable swimsuit for yourself only by taking measurements. To do this, you need a centimeter tape, with which you need to make such measurements:

  1. Put on thin underwear.
  2. Straighten your back.
  3. Measure buttock volume by protruding points.
  4. Measure your waist.
  5. Measure the volume under the chest and at the protruding points to get the chest volume parameter. Subtract the girth under the chest from this value, and then divide the result by 6. The resulting value will indicate the fullness of the cup.

The specified parameters are needed to buy a separate swimsuit, and for the purchase of a one-piece swimsuit you will need the parameters:

  • Growth.
  • Waist circumference.
  • Girth of the hips.

To get the swimsuit size in accordance with the European classification, you need to perform the following arithmetic:

  • Divide the chest circumference by 2.
  • Subtract from the obtained value 6.

If the amount is odd, then the swimsuit is bought a size larger. All data in the dimensional grid is even.
