Swimming Costumes Buying Guide

Swimming costumes vary in construction based on the gender. There are a variety of swimming dresses available for men, women and kids.

For Men

  • Boardshorts: This is one of the most common swimming costumes for men. It is basically a loose-fitting style of shorts going down up to the knee level. 
  • Wetsuits: They are basically close fitting, insulating garments.  
  • Rash Guard: The main advantage of this swimming costume is that it offers UV protection. During the warmer weather, this costume serves ideal as an alternative to wetsuits.  
  • Drag Suits: They are usually worn over the swimmer’s inner swimsuit and help increase swimmer’s endurance and resistance against water. 
  • Racing Suits: They are designed to minimise the drag along key areas of the body.  
  • Swim Briefs: They are similar to underwear briefs. 
  • Trunks: These swimwear are longer than boxer shorts but shorter than boardshorts. 
  • Swimmer Jammer: If you are a competitive athlete, this jammer will suit you the best. 

For Women

  • One-piece suits, thongs and bikinis are the most popular types.   
  • Go for geometric designs if you have a straight bodyline. For those having curvy figure, florals work best.  
  • Large scale patterns add pounds no matter what your body shape is.  
  • Diagonal and frill lines along with cheerful patterns are likely to give the illusion of curves.   
  • For those having small breasts, a padded bikini top will work beautifully. Busty women can think of getting swimsuits that are thick enough to support their breasts.  
  • For your neck: A costume with a rounded neckline will look good if you enjoy a curvy or hourglass figure. Swimming costumes with a square cut neckline will look ideal for those having a rectangular bodyline. A V-neck will help enhance your bust.  
  • Legs: Swimming costumes with a straight cut leg suit only those who have very long legs. Those who want to give the impression of longer legs can choose costumes with a high cut leg.  

Tips

  • Swimming costumes with chlorine and mildew resistance last longer. 
  • Specially molded thermo foamed panels and crease lines render swimsuits soft and flexible. 
  • High performance fabric ensures shape retention
