That’s if you plan on actually swimming and getting wet in your suit, which is not always the case (lounging by the pool or wearing your bathing suit as part of your outfit are occasions you might not take the plunge). In general, swim fabrics stretch a bit when wet so if you’re in between sizes, it can be wise to size down or stay true to your size. Ideally, you’ll have three points of reference to work from: the bust, the waist and the hips (taken at the widest part of your rear.) For the most accurate fit, take your measurements with the tape resting comfortably against your skin-you want to be able to breathe normally in your bathing suit, after all.

Unless the brand has a simple return process (for example, free returns with shipping labels included and convenient drop-off points) or an extensive database of reviews for you to read, it’s hard to accurately guess your size. Most brands and retailers offer size charts-if they don’t, you’ll want to seriously consider how much you love the suit. The challenge, of course, is that you can’t try on anything before buying. A store can only carry so much inventory but shopping online means a wider selection of styles, sizes, colors and price points. The other benefit: You’ll have more choices. It’s a more relaxing experience when you don’t have to deal with a cramped dressing room, unnatural lighting and mirrors that skew your appearance. If given the choice between trying on swimwear in a store or at home, most people would choose the latter. And to avoid any pilling issues, consider polyester, which is durable and fuzz-resistant.įrequently Asked Questions About Shopping For Women’s Swimsuits How do I choose a swimsuit online?

Quality: When it comes to fabrications and textiles, those with elastane provide stretch but will hold their shape over time, says Cohen, adding that your suit should feel “comfortable and hug your curves both in and out of the water.” Also important if you’re considering lighter colors: “Check if the suit is double lined, so it doesn’t become see-through in the water,” she says.

In terms of the most flattering styles, Cohen says that “basic, thin strapped two-pieces tend to look good on all body types” and “underwire tops are perfect when you want a little more support but don’t want a thick top that hides your body.” Look for pieces that have a modern-but-wearable twist, such as cut-outs, to add interest that won’t feel dated by next season.

Style Selection: Trends come and go but one-pieces and bikinis in classic silhouettes and solid colors tend to be a good investment.
