How to Choose the Perfect Swimsuit for Your Getaway
HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT SWIMSUIT
For You
Whether you’re planning a tropical escape or a relaxing beach weekend, the right swimsuit can make all the difference in how confident and comfortable you feel. Here are four things to consider when choosing the right swimsuit for you.
1. Consider Your Destination and Plans
When choosing a swimsuit, think about the activities you’ll be doing, such as outdoor adventures, poolside lounging, beach days, and dinners. Are you heading to a secluded resort, a trendy beach club, or a luxury cruise?
For a remote island getaway, opt for swimsuits that emphasize comfort and mobility, like easy-to-wear one-pieces or supportive bikinis.
If you’re headed to a trendy beach club or resort, you might prefer something more fashion-forward, such as a high-cut swimsuit or a strappy design that makes a statement. For cruises, consider versatile swimsuits that can transition from sunbathing to poolside lounging.
What Are Your Plans?
Understanding your body shape is key to finding a swimsuit that flatters your figure. Here are a few tips:
2. Know Your Body Type
Hourglass Shape: Emphasize your waist with a belted one-piece or a high-waisted bikini.
Pear Shape: Look for swimsuits that draw attention to your upper body, like halter tops or off-the-shoulder styles.
Apple Shape: Opt for swimsuits with ruching or tummy control panels to create a slimming effect.
Athletic Shape: Add curves with swimsuits featuring ruffles, bold prints, or side cutouts.

How Versatile is your swimwear?
Consider how much coverage and support you need. The key is feeling comfortable in your swimwear so you can be your best self and let loose.
4. Don’t Forget About Coverage and Support
If you plan to be active—swimming, playing beach volleyball, or snorkeling—you’ll want a swimsuit that offers good support and stays in place.
High-neck or sports-bra-style tops can provide extra support, while fuller bottoms offer more coverage. If lounging is more your style, feel free to experiment with more daring cuts and styles.
