Bikinis, bandeau and split halter are no longer symbols of women's freedom and independence. Today women want to look attractive, discreet and elegant. Public demand is in the air, and fashion houses did not rack their brains for a long time to answer it: they returned to the pre-war style of the last century. This is how retro style one-piece swimsuits came into fashion again.

Style features
The main advantage of the style: it seems to outline the figure, repeating the curves of the female body, making them more graceful and smooth. A well-chosen variety will allow you to hide the unnecessary and emphasize the necessary.
The naked female body has ceased to be interesting and attractive, rather it has become a synonym for not too good taste and a low level of culture.
Daring bikinis no longer carry a fashion challenge: in the 20s of our century, what is hidden from public view will become attractive.
Take a look at a short list of traditional and modern swimwear and determine which type is right for you.
Classic models
Mayo... The classic cut was originally intended for all body types. He was distinguished by thin sewn-on straps, straight, V-shaped or rounded neckline and tight bra cups. This year, the traditional version was diversified with cutouts in the form of symmetrical ornaments, belts at the waist and all kinds of bust shapes.
Tank. Its basis is the mayo model, the difference lies in the seamlessly cut wide shoulder straps. In combination with diametrical, oblique or vertical contrasting patterns, the tank is perfect for puffy ladies. The tank lengthens the silhouette and supports the chest well.
Halter. V-shaped opening and an additional rigid strip under the cups seductively highlight the breasts. The straps are tied or fastened at the back, wrapping around the neck, which additionally supports the chest. Options with shaped holes on the sides are possible.
Bando. Another traditional option, but without supporting straps. A heart-shaped neckline and hard lines that repeat the shape of the body add originality to it. Vertical drapery or flounces in the chest area against a monochrome fabric create a restrained and seductive image at the same time.
Original options
High neck semi-sports swimsuit. Another revolution in the world of swimming suits was made by the Olympic Games of 1912: swimmers performed in products with open arms and legs. Open arms and high neckline are popular sports styles.
Plonge. The seductive, quirky plunge cut is one of the more revealing on this list. A deep neckline starts from the very waist, sometimes delicately joining in the solar plexus area. Thin strips of fabric wrap around the neck, expand at the back, and connect to the bottoms at the sides. Plungus doesn't need bright colors: even monochrome whites and blacks look amazing.
Monokini. A real work of art in the Art Nouveau style. In a traditional piece cut, the designers embody the most unimaginable cuts in the abdomen, neck and back. Recommended for all young fashionistas.
Piece suit. Quite a traditional suit with a short skirt to match the main background of the fabric. The skirt can be straight, trapezoidal, flared or with ties on one of the hips.
Who are suitable
Hourglass. For a figure with brightly defined curves, any look will do. It is enough to choose the desired pattern and pay attention to the quality of the product. Classic maillot or stylish bandeau are the best options for sand girls.
Rhombus. The tightening inserts and the correct shade will help to correct the stomach and wide pelvis. The combination of white and black at the waist is another great find for this physique.
Count on the dignity: a deep and sharp neckline will beautifully accentuate and support your breasts. Avoid smooth and rounded lines. Bottoms should also have high vertical slits to emphasize the lower body and draw attention away from the abdomen.
Inverted triangle. To the aid of girls with wide shoulders and a narrow pelvis, tank and tankini varieties will come. Their advantages: wide one-piece shoulder straps and additional decorative elements around the hips: flared skirts, flounces and draperies.
Rectangle. Dear women, a monokini bathing suit is specially created for you. You can highlight the waist not only thanks to a good cut, but also with the help of a pattern. All vertical designs or prints should be directed towards the center of the belly.
Oval. All the tips that we suggested to take note of the "diamond", we will supplement with the conclusion: you should definitely highlight the line of the shoulders, emphasize the beauty of the bust and show long legs as attractively as possible. Shiny and bright colors are contraindicated for you: give preference to matte monochromatic materials.
Small breasts and narrow pelvis. Skinny young girls will be helped by varieties with drapery and decor on the chest and hips, as well as busts with additional inserts.
How To Pick For Luxurious Plus-Size
A piece swimsuit is a great solution for puffy ladies. This season, the retro style is again relevant: the bathing suit has turned into a very short dress or jumpsuit.
A deep neckline, a belt gathered with a lacing and a bottom slightly covering the buttocks, well emphasize the curves of the hourglass figure. Complex horizontal and vertical draperies are relevant, thanks to which the product keeps its shape and hides figure flaws.
Models with a classic cup shape and straps that tie around the neck ("halter") are suitable for overweight women. Traditional models are so good that they are worn not only for swimming, but also for attending beach parties.
Tankini mini-dresses with a flounce on the buttocks are another trend of the season. Dark colors will help to adjust the complexion, and cute white polka dots will add ease to a summer look.
A few important tips for choosing a swimsuit Plus-Size:
- Choosing a "halter" with ties around the neck, give preference to wide straps. Thin straps can come loose at the most inopportune moment when leaving the water.
- A vertical lightning bolt located in front is a good find for visual correction.
- Opt for dark or rich colors. Girls of the autumn color type, whose skin has a light orange undertone, can enjoy coral and pistachio.
- Ditch silvery and shiny fabrics for a matte finish.
- Do not use too small or, on the contrary, too large patterns in the outfit: the ornament should not sharply contrast with the physique.
The shampoo products are monochromatic matte surfaces with a pronounced bust area. The corrective effect is achieved with the help of lycra inserts and push-up cups, which perfectly support the breast.
How to choose a color
The color is chosen taking into account a number of features: the natural shade of the body, the warm or cold undertones of the skin and hair, as well as the age and type of figure.
Color of the skin. Girls with pale skin with a bluish undertone should not choose pastel, unsaturated and beige colors: it will merge with the body. Choose bright, contrasting colors: burgundy, raspberry, deep blue, cold mint, scarlet, pink or dark turquoise.
For women with a naturally tanned or naturally dark complexion, we recommend white, olive, coral, yellow, dark green and pink swimwear. Avoid grays, browns, blacks, and dark greens.
Ladies with dark and light brown hair, we advise you to abandon too simple, colorless and unsaturated types. Blondes can afford black, chocolate, navy and deep burgundy looks.
A frivolous outfit will not suit older ladies: orange, ultramarine, fuchsia, neon and silver, let them give way to more restrained options. Young girls, on the other hand, do not suit gloomy and dark colors.
Trends 2019
This year, all fashion houses presented one-piece styles in a retro style, and after them they boldly picked up the fashion trend and brands focused on mass production of clothes.
Plonge. The model with a deep neckline and cutouts on the sides is very daring and daring. When choosing this type of swimsuit, balance the provocative cut with a low-key solid color.
Positive aspects of plunge:
- elastic fabric tightens the abdominal area well;
- high lines on the sides visually lengthen the lower body.
Deep side cutouts. Unlike the previous version, these swimwear are really tailored with very high side cutouts. Thin ties and a horizontal bust line made the feminine look too revealing.
Such experiments with the image are permissible only for a very tall, thin girl. We do not recommend chasing this trend: it is on the verge of being vulgar.
When choosing your shade and pattern, pay attention to how they contrast with the skin. The color does not suit you if the matter merges with the skin or gives it a painful shade. Light olive and light purple tones are contraindicated for women with fair skin.
Shuttlecock at the hips. The contrast between white and tanned skin looks elegant and feminine. A U-neckline, slender straps and a flounce skirt at the hips pay tribute to the retro style.
Beige and nude. Out of fashion "cool prints", bright large flowers and leopard spots. Today, beach fashion is based on naturalness and minimalism.
Curly cutouts. Asymmetrical or curly cuts are located in the abdomen or on the sides. The provocative image must be balanced by the simplicity of the color.
Short bathing dresses. This novelty takes us back a century before the advent of daring bikinis. Modern bathing dresses end with short skirts or shorts. Their revelation: a demonstration of bare shoulders and neckline, which is framed by playful voluminous flounces.
Children's fashion
Beachwear brands sew one-piece swimwear for girls from 1.5-2 years of age. They are of two types: sports and beach. Models designed for gymnastics, dancing and swimming are distinguished by monochrome colors, they do not have additional decor. Beach options tend to be vibrant with rich floral designs.
Some items for gymnastics and dancing can be very beautiful, for example, with half open back and crossed straps, but a child quickly grows out of such an outfit.
For preschoolers, there are bathing suits that differ in elongated knee-length shorts. They have bright colors with images of cartoon characters.
When choosing a fabric, pay attention to the following important points:
- the material must dry quickly so that the child does not have time to overcool after getting out of the water (nylon, lycra);
- hypoallergenic composition: for example, elastin;
- quality and strength of seams, durability (polyester);
- breathability, for a comfortable feeling (elastin).
The quality of the material is checked by stretching: the thing should easily restore its original shape. For small children and adolescents, the size of the product is determined by the height.
If you need to choose an option for swimming in the sports section, choose a product made of dense material, which contains synthesized polybutylene terephthalate fiber.The dense fabric will maximally protect the baby's skin from the effects of chlorine, which is used to disinfect pool water.
