These days, the one-piece swimsuit has become a the go-to for poolside lazing and ocean splashing… and, your weekend style (think of it as a waterproof bodysuit).
The latest one-piece designs are true statements in sophistication and style that could easily earn themselves a place in your everyday wardrobe. You’ll no doubt be familiar with their monotone colours with high-shine or textured finishes, strategic colour blocking for maximum silhouette enhancement, and Australian designers, in particular, are inspired by the boho vibes of Byron Bay.
Tips For Buying Swimwear Online
As much as we love online shopping, buying swimwear from the comfort of your keyboard can be very hit and miss—but if you can’t get in-store, or you can’t get the swimwear brands you like locally, then follow these top tips:
Tip 1: Search Social Media
The beauty of Instagram is there’s no shortage of swimsuit examples on different body shapes. Check out a brand’s Insta feed to see their designs on a range of women (hint: look at the pics they’ve been tagged in), or if you know an influencer with a similar body shape similar to yours, trawl their account to see what styles and brands they love to wear.
Tip 2: Read The Size Charts
Swimwear doesn’t necessarily follow the same sizing rules as traditional fashion so before you add to cart, double check your measurements against their size chart.
Tip 3: Check The Returns Policy
Familiarise yourself with a brand’s return policy, and pay special attention to their rules around swimwear (including sale items), as it may be different to general clothing. Due to hygiene reasons, some companies won’t let you return swimsuits.
