Swimwear

Like shopping for underwear, finding a one-piece or bikini to flatter your figure can be a difficult task. But, with holiday season approaching, there’s is no better time to begin the search for the perfect swimsuit, before highstreet and online stores start to welcome in autumn/winter wear. No matter what body type you have, there are a range of stylish and flattering swimsuits out there for you to choose from. So, to help you in your quest for that coveted cossie, take a look at our guide to finding the ideal swimsuit to suit your body type.

Big on top

Ladies with a big bust require a swimsuit that provides good support to give them a great shape when relaxing by the pool or soaking up the sun on the beach. To achieve this, opt for a bikini that comes in specific cup sizes, allowing you to choose a top in your bra size and provide the perfect fit. If you’d prefer a one-piece, look for swimsuits that offer structure around the bust, such as a shelf bra or soft foam cups. Strapless bandeaus and teeny tiny tops are often best avoided as they offer little support with minimal coverage.

Small on top

If you’re small on top, there are a range of gorgeous swimsuit styles for you to choose from. Cute tri top bikinis look great on your petite frame, as do ruffled and bandeau tops. To create the illusion of width around your bust line, opt for a tankini or bikini halter neck top which will help to draw the eye up and make your cleavage the focal point. Horizontal stripes are another great way to add further shape to your chest; however, garments that are ill-fitting or come with too much fabric should be avoided.

Big on bottom

The classic pear shaped figure is wider around the hips then it as at the shoulders, or simply carries more weight around the middle than in anywhere else. The ideal swimsuit for this body type is one which balances out your proportions by slimming the hips and creating a fuller upper half. A high cut leg in a dark shade teamed with a top in a bright print will help to make your legs look longer and leaner whilst creating balance by drawing the eye up. Bikini bottoms in the boy-short style provide more coverage but are often unflattering on a pear shapes fuller behind.

Swimwear Season!

August 22, 2011

It’s that time of year again, where we’re jetting off to sunnier shores on our summer holidays, which can mean only one thing – it’s swimwear season!

This can mean one of two things for us ladies; either we’ll be looking forward to getting a nice bronze tan on the beach, or we’ll be dreading getting our kit off in public and exposing those white wobbly bits to the world!

Many women think that bikinis are just for the super skinny, supermodel types but that couldn’t be further from the truth. These days there are a variety of different bikini designs, to help flatter most figures so don’t rule them out completely before you’ve taken a good look around.

If you’re skinny and boyish in body shape than the traditional triangle style bikini could be for you, but this isn’t the case for fuller body shapes. If you’re very busty then look for bikinis that give you the support that you need. This can come in the shape of underwiring or halterneck styles that offer a little more support. Busty women should avoid bandeau or strapless styles, as this can lead to gravity getting the better of you!

Women with big bottoms might fear wearing a bikini as they don’t want to show off their ample bottom half, but there are some new styles that can help minimise the amount of flesh on show. Try a bikini with boyish shorts for more coverage, or opt for a ‘skirtini’ which has bikini bottoms with a short swim skirt built in, giving a more feminine option.

For those ladies who are worried about their tummies, why not opt for a tankini? This is a two piece with a longer top, which can help cover up your stomach, while some come with built in control panels for additional support.

No matter what your body shape – there’s a bikini style for you!

Mouille is the look to love this summer for holidays at home or away

May is the month of Mouille swimwear at www.lazeme.co.uk.

Mouille is our summer swimwear frill Mouille is our summer swimwear frill.

Mouille is our summer swimwear frill.

Mouille’s new stunning summer collection is all frills. All about femininity and super stylish without fuss, we’re ruffling a feather or two with the fabulous new swimwear creations. From the simplicity of pretty details and trims to the shapely separates, Mouille’s asymmetric design is made to flatter and be fun all in one. The one shoulder one piece swimsuits can double as sun tops as well.

A fresh take on what is beach chic has been developed by the young dynamic UK design team of Mouille. The use of striking cuts on exquisite Italian fabric with soft draping swathes and frils give the new collection a feel of exoticness, giving you that luxurious feel of being enveloped in style.

The unusual and quirky new design of the Anna Drape Swimsuit is particularly loved and makes it so versatile. Anna with an oversized draped shoulder is striking and slimming down tummies and hips with the detail of the shoulder detracting the eye away thanks to gorgeous detail on the costume back as well.

In black, burgundy, Forest Green and Sea Blue the swimsuit is equally fabulous soaking up the sun on a beach lounger or together with denim shorts exiting the beach.

If the draping swathes of Anna are too catwalk dramatic for you, we have the perfect take with a more paired down version. Still awash with frills, the Mouille Chloe Frill Swimsuit in Burgundy, Black or Sea blue is a subtle variation on the big drape design. We love it with a pair of capris for sightseeing. As your one shoulder top transforms into a stylish swimsuit instantly, it’s ideal for a dip in that hidden cover you stumble upon.

If you prefer a two piece bikini, the Mouille Chloe Bikini Top has the same flattering asymmetric design to the top, with matching briefs. The top ties at the back for an easy, adjustable fit and comfortable lounging, all the more time for soaking up the atmosphere with a favourite book. Fully lined and fully charged for the best summer holiday ever, go direct from beach to bar in our stunning Silk Bellaju Kaftan.

For us, Mouille is the look to love this summer for holidays at home or away. What’s more we’re giving you 10% off your first order by quoting ms10 in the promo box at the checkout. So hurry, this one’s tipped to be a winning summer look!

Many people feel wary when summertime starts to roll around due to the fact that they are not fully confident in a bikini or two pieces.  However, even though everywhere you turn you may see two pieces, there are plenty of suits that are only made out of one piece of material that are very stylish and comfortable.  In fact, you can get many of the same designs and prints in one piece cuts that you see on two pieces allowing you to be just as stylish without sacrificing any of your comfort; you can even find the same varied amounts of cuts.

For example, the same way that you can choose the cut when it comes to your two pieces you can also choose the type of cut that you want for your one piece.  Some of the most popular cuts include halter cuts, scoop necks, deep v-necks, rounded v-necks, and flat lined necklines.  You can also choose cut-out swimsuits that show a bit more of everything everywhere if you want to show off your body in a more seductive fashion.  While the last style is a bit intimidating, it is one of the trendiest styles that you can choose to try to pull off.

While a one piece may only be made out of one piece of fabric, it still offers you plenty of options when it comes to your bottom as well allowing you to show off as much of your thighs and bottom as you want or as little as you want.  Swim dress bottoms are an excellent choice if you want to conceal a little of your bottom and also a stylish choice because they are a bit flirty and a bit of fun all rolled into one.  There are also cuts that extend like a tube dress down past the bottom to give you a little coverage as well.

You can get all of these great cuts in the same styles and prints that you would a normal two piece suit allowing you plenty of additional options to think about.  This season, solids with bandeau like belts across the waist are popular since they help to define your waist and add a little flair to any ensemble.  Also popular are polka dots, floral prints, and bright vibrant solids that really catch others eyes and let you show off a bit of your vibrant personality while out in the sun.

Finally, the even better news and large myth buster is the fact that most one pieces average out to be cheaper or about the same price as two pieces which bulks the trend that leaves many people to believe they are more expensive.  Depending on where you shop, you can even grab great deals like those at www.very.co.uk where you can get two swimsuits for the price of three regardless of what cuts or if they are one or two pieces allowing you to get even more for your money and choices every time you hit the beach.  Click to  view the Very.co.uk selection of swimsuits.

cheeky BeCheeky has something different in swimwear

BeCheeky has something different in swimwear

The online swimwear retailer BeCheeky has reported a huge surge in women who are now looking for something different from their swimwear. They say that women no longer just want a bikini or swimsuit to wear to the beach or go swimming in. They want fashionable items made from luxurious fabrics that really make you stand out in the crowd.

This season’s swimwear has taken a step away from the norm, with tradition mixing with modern. The one piece swimsuit is becoming more glamorous Roidal are producing draped suits in sumptuous materials. They are vibrant explosions of colour  and have moulded cups and adjustable straps. The fabric is draped around and underneath the cups to accentuate curves. They also do a tube top swimsuit where the colour graduates to give an illusion of curves and a tiny waist.
For women who are looking for swimwear with the wow factor, a cut out swimsuit is the ideal solution such as those of Aguaclara of Peru. You can go for all out sex appeal in an animal print, barely there number, a traditional shape with a deep plunge at the front in a fabulous print or a more contemporary, glamorous feel with a one shoulder number. All of the Aguaclara numbers have divine detailing such as rich colours and prints, gold ring details on the hips and shoulders or a kaleidoscope of vibrant embroidery.

And the most important trend in luxury swimwear this season? Accessories. Team your new bikini or one piece with a bright, floaty sarong that you can wear in a number of ways or cover up in sumptuous silk with light, patterned tops for when you want to go from the beach to the bar. Keep jewellery chunky and pair with wedges and heels for the final touch.

Whatever your shape, it’s important to get a bikini or swimsuit that makes you look and feel amazing. Draped fabrics and exquisite detailing will do this! Check out the full range of bikinis and swimsuits online at www.becheeky.com
