Types of swimsuits
A swimsuit in its classic version consists of ordinary swimming trunks and a bodice with straps (separate type) or is a complete closed model. However, even such a simple item of clothing can have many options for cutting.
Open
Typical styles of closed models:
1. Bikini - the most frank version of a bathing suit, covering the minimum body area (as part of what is permitted, of course). The set consists of small triangle panties with ties and the same tiny bodice on thin straps. The latter can be soft or come with thick cups, with or without stones. Particularly popular today are models with “push up” bras.
2. Bando - a variant of the classic open swimsuit with concise and clear lines. The bodice in this set is made in the form of a wide elastic band that tightly covers the chest. This model does not involve straps, which allows you to get a beautiful and even tan without white stripes on the shoulders.
3. Tank - tight supporting swimsuit. The bodice here has the form of a short top with wide single-cut straps. This model is suitable for women with heavy breasts, because the swimsuit has hard cups with good support.
4. Halter - not bad raises the bust thanks to the straps, which are tied or fastened at the neck. The only difference from a massive tank is soft bodice cups.
Pluses open swimsuits:
- Variety of styles;
- The possibility of combining the top and bottom of different sets;
- Maximum open skin to get a tan;
- Sexy appearance;
- It is more convenient to dress in a cabin on the beach;
- Any part of the swimsuit can be replaced with elements of clothing (a regular skirt, tank top, shorts, etc.).
Minuses:
- To wear such swimsuits, you need a taut belly. Or courage.
Closed
Contrary to their name, not all such swimsuits look chaste. The most outspoken models are more like separate sets, the top and bottom of which are connected only with decorative inserts. There are closed swimsuits with a skirt or retro options, made in the form of a short dress.
Such models are in no way inferior in popularity to open.On the contrary: the “deaf” swimwear became the trend of this summer and the basis of the collections of the world's leading designers.
Unlike its sexy open fellow, a closed beach outfit can hide or correct figure flaws (sagging tummy, overweight, problem skin). However, slender girls in these swimsuits also look very impressive.
Typical styles of closed models:
1. Mayo - a classic with sewn straps and shallow neckline.
2. A tight bandit resembles a tall corset with a horizontal line across the chest - often comes without a shoulder strap or a slab.
3. Closed tankini and solid halter are exact copies of the same open models, only the bodice and melting are sewn here.
4. Plandzh - very frank and sexy swimsuit, where the bodice is more like a very wide suspenders, sewn to swimming trunks. Due to the lack of cups and an unrealistically deep cutout, it requires a small and neat breast from its owner.
5. Monokini - a sort of hybrid of closed and separate sets. In fact - an open swimsuit, where the bodice and bottoms have purely symbolic connections in the form of a braid, beads or laces.
6. Sweet dress - beach dress, which may end at the bottom with a short skirt, strapped to the swimsuit, or skirt-shorts.
Pluses closed swimsuits:
- Hiding imperfections of the figure;
- Beautifully emphasize the bends of the female body;
- Good hold and do not fall down in any awkward movement;
- Huge selection of various designs.
Minuses:
- Most of the body remains without tan;
- Denser open and therefore dry longer.
Sports
These swimsuits are designed to visit the pool, water sports, surfing, etc. For the most part, they have a closed form, as they do not dress for a chic tan. The most common model of swimwear today is a high-neck - with a minimal back and a neck at the neck.
The open version is more like a separate tank: bodice with wide straps (can be replaced with a top) plus shorts. In any case, a sports kit should be comfortable, fit the body tightly and be made of durable wear-resistant material.
Advantages of sports models:
- Durability;
- Even with active movement, the swimsuit will not reveal anything extra;
- Good support for large breast size;
- Easy effect utyazhki.
Minuses:
- Not the richest lineup
- In such a bathing suit only arms and legs tan.
Evening
These swimsuits are a special kind of cocktail attire rather than a swimsuit. This custom outfit is designed for beach parties or pool parties. These models are designed to draw attention to the hostess exquisite design, decor of lace and rhinestone, beautiful shine fabric. Swimming in the evening swimsuit is undesirable, although it will survive the clean water of the pool.
Parameters for choosing a swimsuit
Type of fabric
Good material for a swimsuit should have breathability, keep its shape for a long time, not fade in the sun and dry quickly.
Most modern beach suits are sewn from fabrics that more or less meet these requirements:
1. Lycra is a durable and resilient man-made fiber. Its fabric must be at least 20% (otherwise the swimsuit will not be elastic), but not more than 30% - otherwise the mixed material will not be able to pass air.
2. Tactel - a hybrid of lycra and knitwear. Elastic, soft, breathable, dries quickly and does not fade in the sun.
3. Microfiber - has remarkable dragging properties, pleasant to the touch, elastic, not afraid of chlorine. Dries in minutes.
4. Polyamide - it has a beautiful gloss, it stretches well, but it does not lose its shape.
5. Nylon - although produced chemically, it has a high breathability, does not crumple and does not shrink, it dries quickly too.
6. Cotton is not the best option for frequent use.On the one hand, it is pleasant to the touch and “breathes” well; on the other hand, it keeps its shape poorly and dries out for a long time.
7. Polyester - used for sewing budget swimwear. Airtight, burns out under UV rays, dries poorly. Such a swimsuit will hardly last one season, after which it will completely lose its attractive appearance.
Manufacturers still continue to experiment with materials for sewing swimsuits. Some modern fabrics can even transmit UV rays, which allows them to sunbathe through their clothes. Others, on the contrary, repel harmful radiation better than any SPF creams.
Every woman can choose what suits her best, but she will have to pay for such know-how, and expensive. In "tech" swimsuits quite a lot of zeros on the price tag, and on sale to find them is not easy.
The size
Swimsuit - the clothes that can not be taken "for growth" for fear that you will get better, or a smaller size, hoping to drive off those extra pounds by the summer. Such things are bought immediately before the start of the season and must fully fit your figure.
It is dangerous to order this suit via the Internet, as the European and Asian sizes often do not coincide with the Russian ones. In general, the swimsuit should be taken only after fitting.
Most manufacturers specify the size of their products according to international standards - in Latin letters.
These designations correspond to the following parameters:
1. XS - sizes from 40 to 42 (with a chest girth of 80-85 cm, a waist of 55-62 and hips up to 90 cm);
2. S - 44 size (respectively 90-68-95 cm);
3. M - 46-48 dimensions (95-75-100 cm);
4. L - 50 size (113-90-116 cm).
The designations of extra large or XL sizes are different for each manufacturer, so only fitting will help you decide.
Cup size
Relevant when choosing a swimsuit with tight cups, in other cases, slight deviations are allowed: the soft bodice on the ties is not a bra with two fasteners. And yet, far from its true size is not worth it.
Cups on bathing suits are denoted by the same letters as on linen: from A to F (for a very large bust, you can also look for size G). See what labeling is on the label of your most comfortable bra, and feel free to buy a swimming suit with the same depth of the bodice.
Which swimsuit to choose
1. Owners of feminine proportions with the figure of “hourglass” will go to almost any swimsuit model. Wasp waist underlined jewelry on the panties and bra. For small and medium-sized breasts, it is better to choose a bodice with narrow shleykami or even without them, a lush chest will support a halter or a tank. A short body will visually make a more proportional sex plunge or a closed swimsuit that opens the hips high. If you have too long legs, take a model with rounded cut-out trunks.
2. Lush ladies with the figure "apple" is better to opt for the styles of halter or tankini with large side cuts - they will distract attention to the slender legs and visually stretched wide torso. It is good if these are exactly closed models, where the top has supporting bones, and a microfiber jumper between the bodice and melting creates a slight dragging effect.
3. In the figure of "pear" should focus on a more attractive top with thin straps and jewelry on the bodice. Wide high-rise swimsuits accentuate the waist. You can also buy a closed swimsuit in contrasting colors - with a light bodice and a dark bottom.
4. Visually enlarge the hips with a "triangular" figure will help melting with ruffles, frill and ties. Stitched skirt or shorts with a picture will also correct the problem area. Choose bodice with wide shoulder straps and a deep V-neck.
5. Ladies with a “rectangular” figure have not very expressive waist. To draw attention away from her will help understated melting and horizontal gang-type bodice. Tankini model will look good on such girls.
How much is a swimsuit
1. Open swimsuits can be purchased at a price of 1000 rubles for the simplest model of a little-known manufacturer to 25,000 - for a product of a well-known brand.
2. Closed swimsuits, despite the greater consumption of fabric, are traditionally cheaper: from 700 to 15,000 rubles.
