How to choose a swimsuit for summer

Where to start

A summer swimsuit should not only look appealing, but also suit your habits and plans. One style may be ideal for swimming and active days, while another is better for relaxing by the pool or sunbathing. Before buying, it is worth deciding where and how you are most likely to wear it.

Anabel Arto offers one-piece and two-piece swimsuits in a variety of styles. It is therefore easier to begin by identifying your needs before moving on to colour and design.

One-piece or two-piece swimsuit

The first question to consider is which option will suit you best.

One-piece swimsuits offer a more unified fit and often create a streamlined silhouette. They are well suited to swimming, active holidays and anyone who prefers greater coverage.

Two-piece swimsuits offer more freedom when combining tops and bottoms, making it easier to choose styles that suit different areas of the body. They are also practical for sunbathing and allow you to mix different designs to create your own set.

How to choose a swimsuit for your body shape

There is no single solution that suits everyone, but a few principles can help create a more balanced silhouette.

To balance your proportions visually, place detail where you would like to draw attention. For example, a decorative top can highlight the neckline, while a simpler bottom can help create a more balanced overall look.

Those who would like to create a more streamlined appearance often choose one-piece styles or swimsuits with a carefully considered cut. However, the overall effect depends not only on the style, but also on the fit, colour, shape of the neckline and how well the swimsuit suits your individual figure.

Why comfort matters more than fashion

Even the most striking swimsuit will not be enjoyable to wear if you need to keep adjusting it. On holiday, you should be able to move freely, swim, walk along the beach and sunbathe without feeling uncomfortable.

This is why it is important to consider fit, support and how the swimsuit feels, rather than focusing only on its appearance. Comfort remains the most important sign of a successful purchase.

Do not forget about care

To help your swimsuit retain its shape and appearance for longer, rinse it in cool water after swimming in the sea or a pool. This helps remove salt or chlorine and protects the fabric more effectively.

Simple care will help your favourite style stay neat and attractive even when worn regularly throughout the season.

Should you follow trends?

Fashion trends can help you choose a current colour or style, but they should not be your main guide. It is far more important to find a swimsuit that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

When the fit is right, the style suits your lifestyle and you genuinely like the way it looks, the swimsuit will remain a good choice regardless of how quickly trends change.
