PrimaDonna Swim SS18: 6 styling tips for the beach
How to choose the swimwear set that suits you!
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 — An autumn holiday in the sun has so much going for it: fewer tourists, lower prices and the ideal excuse to treat yourself to a new bikini or a fabulous swimsuit! But how do you choose the swimwear set that flatters your figure? PrimaDonna has a few handy styling tips to help you decide.
Smart stripes make you look slim
There’s a reason why stripes are a swimwear classic. They are just perfect for making some parts of your figure look slimmer or emphasising your feminine form. So the Pondicherry sets come in blue and white stripes in various widths. That creates an even lighter, more youthful look. Sherry’s subtle stripes also have that light, slimline effect.
Go for colour
Take advantage of colour to bring out the best of you. Contrasting colours on the neckline or waist – like Pondicherry red piping – creates a feminine silhouette. Dark colours – such as Sherry’s chic khaki – bring out the slimmer you. Deep-blue navy or a summer burgundy – check out Cocktail’s gorgeous colour! - is always good. These types of tint are softer than black, which mean they really flatter paler skin types.
Choose a versatile style
Do you want a bikini top that fits perfectly all day and does not leave you with pale stripes on your shoulders after a day in the sun? Or a swimsuit that is just as well suited to swimming and sunbathing? Go for an adjustable style, like a bikini top with removable straps or decorative ties, a swimsuit where you can adjust the height of the leg openings or bottoms with multiway ties. Super handy!
Tip: the Sherry and Pondicherry bandeau bikini tops with detachable straps or Cocktail’s hipster briefs with adjustable ties.
Wear the right size
Relax on the beach or dive into the water without a worry – everything is much less stressful when your bikini or swimsuit fit perfectly. Don’t fall for a swimwear set that does not fit you like a glove. Ensure that your breasts are properly supported, the cups fit closely at the top and the seams and straps don't pinch. If need be, get advice from a lingerie styling specialist.
Play with accessories
Need to pull something on quick to fetch a drink from the bar? A colourful caftan or an attractive jumpsuit are convenient and they make you look fantastic! Accessories like pareus and beach dresses also add colour and variation to your look.
Shapewear at the pool
Prefer to keep your tummy under wraps? Try a loose-hanging tankini or combine a bikini top with bottoms worn a little higher on the waist. Or go for a swimsuit that keeps your waist and tummy in check.
Tip: Cocktail's tankini with frills or the figure-fixing swimsuit with elegant draping or Sherry’s silhouette-shaping swimsuit.
